6Donation options in Waynesville
Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Waynesville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- The truck that empties a Waynesville curbside container belongs to the City of St. Robert. St. Robert's own Solid Waste / Recycling page publishes its holiday schedule under the heading "2026 St. Robert Transfer Station Holiday Schedule w/ Residential Sanitation Customer Route Changes" and explains it thus: "As a holiday approaches, be aware of any changes to hours of operation as well as any changes in sanitation pick-up days at the Transfer Station. (If a change in pick-up day effects Waynesville or St. Robert Sanitation Services, it is notated in the right two columns.)" That is St. Robert stating, on its own page, that it operates the residential sanitation routes for Waynesville as well as for itself. The same page names Richard Zeigenbein as the Transfer Station's Facility Manager Supervisor, the surname of the contractor Waynesville's utility brochure still refers customers to. The station is at 119 J.H. Williamson Jr Drive, Saint Robert, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., 573-336-5155. Source Not confirmed: Neither city publishes the date on which the St. Robert Transfer Station took the Waynesville routes over from Zeigenbein Sanitation, and Waynesville's own utility brochure has not been updated to say so Not confirmed: No bulky item charge for Waynesville households appears on the St. Robert page; its published gate rates are for self-haul at the station, not for curbside collection
What Pulaski County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Waynesville and its neighbors.
- Pulaski County, Missouri runs no solid waste service of any kind. The county's own website at 301 Historic Rt. 66 E., Waynesville, carries the whole of its public offering in its navigation: Home, Offices, Courts, Contact, Elections, Bid Packets, Courthouse Closures and ARPA Fund. There is no sanitation or solid waste department, no county drop-off, no transfer station, no bulky item collection, no free dump day and no recycling program. Everything a Pulaski County household can do with a mattress is run by a city — chiefly the City of St. Robert's transfer station — or by a private subscription hauler. Source Not confirmed: Fort Leonard Wood sits between St. Robert and Waynesville, and a military installation's own waste arrangements are not a public option. No base service was recorded and none was sought.
- Not an option: The "Regional Recycling & Waste Reduction District", which describes itself as "Promoting recycling and waste reduction in partnership with Pulaski County residents and businesses" and which ranks for Pulaski County, Missouri searches, is in Arkansas. The page's own address is "1501 N University Ave | Little Rock, AR 72207", and the Pulaski County it serves is the Arkansas one. Its five Green Station drop-off centers, which take electronics, plastic bags, glass, aerosols, bulbs, batteries and household hazardous waste and no bedding of any kind, are Arkansas facilities and must not be shown to a St. Robert or Waynesville reader. The same trap runs the other way for household collection: pulaskicounty.net, which publishes a WM contract at $29.69 a month with two bulk item pickups a year, is also Pulaski County, Arkansas, and pulaskigov.com is Pulaski County, Virginia.

- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
