2City curbside pickup in Rolla
Rolla’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 Rolla annual citywide bulk waste pickup
Residential refuse customers of the City of Rolla. Section 18-14(c): "Annually, a pickup of bulk waste items will be provided at no additional cost to residential customers."
Conditions and source
Once a year, at no additional cost beyond the monthly refuse charge. "Certain items, including regulated items, will be exempted from this pickup as determined by the Director" — regulated waste is defined at Section 18-1 as lead-acid batteries, yard waste, tires, major appliances, used oil, asbestos and contaminated soil, none of which covers bedding. Section 18-7(i) allows bulk items to be set at the curb no more than seventy-two hours before a scheduled annual citywide cleanup.
Not confirmed: The date of the annual pickup is not fixed in the ordinance
Not confirmed: The list of items the Director exempts is not published, so whether a mattress is taken on the free round is not established

Visit siteCity of Rolla special collection (items too large for the refuse container)
Residential refuse customers of the City of Rolla. Section 18-14(a): "The City shall provide residential customers with special collections as requested."
Conditions and source
Booked and paid in advance: the city's fee page says special pick-ups are pre-paid and must be scheduled by 4:00 PM on the day prior to pickup, with payment taken at the Rolla Recycling Center, 2141 Old St. James Road. The code sets the charge for "household waste and items too large to discard in the refuse container" at thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for each cubic yard; the city's fee page states the same figure as "Trash, furniture, etc. = $35.00 (approx. pickup truck load)". Major appliances are $20.00 each and are charged separately. Bulk or loose items may not be set at the curb more than seventy-two hours ahead of the arranged collection.
Not confirmed: The code prices the charge per cubic yard and the fee page prices it per approximate pickup truck load; which governs a single mattress is not stated
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named; furniture is the nearest published category

Visit siteCity of Rolla bulk item sticker collection
Residential refuse customers of the City of Rolla inside the incorporated limits. Section 18-2 gives the City the exclusive right to collect refuse in the city, so this is the only curbside route available.
Conditions and source
Section 18-14(b): the City sells stickers to be affixed to each bulk item for collection on the resident's regularly scheduled collection day, at five dollars ($5.00) per sticker. "Items that can be lifted by one (1) person will require one (1) sticker; items requiring lifting by two (2) persons will require two (2) stickers" — a mattress or box spring is two-person work, so two stickers. Stickers must be affixed so as to be easily seen by crews. Regulated items (appliances, tires, yard waste) are not eligible for the sticker route and are charged separately. Bulk items may not be set at the curb more than seventy-two hours before the arranged collection (Section 18-7(i)).
Not confirmed: Mattresses and box springs are not named in the ordinance, so whether a mattress counts as one bulk item or as two (mattress plus box spring) is not stated
Not confirmed: The sticker does not appear on the city's published fee page, only in the code

3Drop-off options near Rolla
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Rolla. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Phelps County Transfer Station self-haul drop-off
No residency rule is published. The City of Rolla directs its own residents here for larger items such as furniture and extra trash that will not fit in the collection cart, and no page states any restriction on who else may use it.
Conditions and source
12441 County Road 2170, Rolla, MO 65401; telephone 573-364-8771. The Ozark Rivers Solid Waste Management District publishes the hours as Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. The City of Rolla's own instruction is the whole of the published answer on price: "For hours of operation and fees, call 364-8771." This is the only permitted disposal site in Phelps County; there is no landfill in the county.
Not confirmed: No current gate fee is published by the county, by the City of Rolla or by the solid waste district. The district's table quotes $12.50 up to 500 lbs, $25 up to 1,000 lbs or $49 per ton, but the St. Robert row beside it is demonstrably superseded, so no price is recorded here.
Not confirmed: Who owns and operates the station — Phelps County, the City of Rolla or a contractor — is not established on any primary page.
Not confirmed: No mattress-specific rule, acceptance or exclusion is published.
