2City curbside pickup in Olivette
Olivette’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Olivette Annual Large Bulk Collection (third full week of April, Republic Services under city contract)
"Olivette only provides refuse collection services to single-family homes and condominium complexes. Apartments, industrial properties, and businesses are NOT eligible."
Conditions and source
Once a year, "during the third full week of April", on each household's regular collection day, with items at the curb "by 7:00 a.m." Mattresses are named by the city among the common bulk waste accepted, alongside couches, furniture and lamps. "All loose items must be bundled and not be longer than 4 feet in length"; carpet must be "bundled and secured with rope or twine into 4' x 2' sections". For anything over 75 lbs or needing two people to handle, "please call Republic Services at (636) 947-5959 in advance so they can send appropriate manpower and equipment" - worth doing for a mattress, which runs 50 to 100 lb. "Appliances are NOT accepted during this collection" and are booked separately on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Fridays at a $25 fee per appliance paid in advance with at least 24 hours' notice. Paint, fuel, oil, tires, construction waste and hazardous material are refused during the bulk week; construction materials need a Route Supervisor estimate with a $50 prepaid minimum. Outside April there is no route for a large item: "Additional items placed at the curb will not be collected except on your last collection day of the month when 2 additional bagged items may be placed at the curb for collection."
Not confirmed: The city sets no charge for the April bulk collection and never states that it is free; it prices only appliances and construction materials.
Not confirmed: The 4-foot bundling limit is written for loose items while a mattress is named as accepted in the same document, and the city does not say which governs a 75- to 80-inch mattress.
Not confirmed: No 2026 date for the April week is published.

What St. Louis County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Olivette and its neighbors.
- St. Louis County's regional solid waste body is the St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District, a grant and technical-assistance agency rather than a facility operator. "The St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) is one of 20 districts throughout the state created to assist the public, private, individual, and not-for-profit sectors in making these goals possible. The District includes all communities in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Jefferson County and St. Charles County." "The District provides recycling grants to projects within the region through an annual grant round." Its mission is "To incentivize and promote the diversion of solid waste from landfills through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling alternatives." It supports "Electronics collection events, Community recycling events and drop-off locations, Education and public information, Composting, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection sites, Reuse activities and resources, Municipal recycling initiatives, Curbside recycling collection, Managing organic/food waste" — no bulky-waste or mattress program appears.

Source Not confirmed: BLOCKED: St. Louis County's own waste pages at stlouiscountymo.gov sit behind a Cloudflare interstitial and returned HTTP 403 to every automated fetch, so the county's own drop-off, hauler-licensing and bulky-waste rules could not be read Not confirmed: Whether St. Louis County operates any drop-off site that takes mattresses is therefore unverified
