How to get rid of a mattress in Central Point, OR.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

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

• The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source
• Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source

Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.

What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Central Point does not collect anything itself. The city's own recycling page names the franchisee: "Solid waste and recycling collections services are provided by Rogue Disposal & Recycling, Inc. (RDR)", 541.779.4161, roguedisposal.com, with curbside recycling "picked up every other week" and a 65-gallon recycle cart offered when trash service is set up. For anything the cart will not take, the city points residents out of town, to "Rogue Transfer and Recycling, LLC at 8001 Table Rock Rd, White City". The page's only mattress-adjacent program is the annual household hazardous waste event co-sponsored by Rogue Disposal "in early May", which is not a mattress route. There is no Central Point clean-up day, no city bulky-item run and no city drop-off. Source
• Central Point makes weekly removal compulsory but leaves the route open. CPMC 8.38.010(A): "The owner of any dwelling used for human habitation shall remove all garbage and rubbish accumulated or stored at such dwelling on at least a weekly basis, either by subscribing to and paying for weekly garbage removal with a city of Central Point refuse collection franchise holder, or by some other lawful means of removing and disposing of such garbage and rubbish." Landlords must provide "one thirty-five-gallon (or greater) receptacle for each dwelling unit", or for a multiple-family unit "a receptacle with a combined capacity of thirty-five gallons per dwelling unit", and the owner is responsible for compliance where owner and tenant disagree. Receptacles "shall be watertight and provided with handles" and kept "covered with tight-fitting lids at all times". Service is not required while a dwelling is unoccupied for more than two weeks. CPMC 8.38.020 makes a violation subject to the city's general penalty. (Ord. 1894, 2006; Ord. 2061, 2019.) Source
• Central Point sets Rogue Disposal's maximum rates by resolution, and the last schedule the city has published online is dated. Resolution No. 1472, passed September 8, 2016, approved Rogue Disposal's 20-year performance audit, the fifth anniversary rate adjustment "effective January 1st, 2017", and extended the franchise term "to December 31st, 2026"; the recitals record that "The City and Rogue Disposal & Recycling, Inc. (Rogue Disposal) entered into a Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement in 1996, including subsequent amendments." Exhibit C, "MAXIMUM MONTHLY COLLECTION RATES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2017", is where an oversized item is priced. Under "Residential Collection Miscellaneous Charges" it lists "$27.70 Misc. Loose Waste - Per Yard", "$72.02 1st Appliance", "$36.02 Ea. Additional Appliance", "$13.85 Tire - Passenger" and "$8.73 Christmas Tree - Per 3 Ft Section"; residential collection itself lists "Special Pick-up - Non-Garbage Customer $16.18 Each". A mattress is not named: on this schedule it falls to the per-yard loose-waste charge rather than to the appliance rate. Source Not confirmed: These are the maximum rates effective January 1, 2017 and are superseded - Rogue Disposal rates have risen at least twice since. No later Central Point rate resolution was found published on the city's website, so the current maximum per-yard loose-waste charge is unestablished. No price has been carried forward from this observation.

• SVdP shared policy allows fewer than ten mattresses at listed stores, but MRC locator gives Cottage Grove a five-unit maximum, sends Seneca loads over five to Prairie Road, and lists Florence/Albany/Salem limits of ten residential or 25 business units. Facility-specific quantity applicability conflicts with the shared page. Source
• County describes public self-haul recycling/garbage access but still says it operates 15 transfer stations. Current directory identifies Walton as permanently closed. Division office is 3100 E. 17th Avenue, Eugene OR 97403; office hours are not receiving hours. Source

• Existing MRC Glenwood lead 1df981cc23e151b2d03067db matches county facility by name/location: 3100 East 17th Avenue, Eugene. MRC records Multnomah and older 8–6 hours; county has Lane and dated 7:30–5:30 weekday hours. Source
• Current table simultaneously lists a minimum charge and free mattress/box-spring intake up to five daily. Generic facility recycling description does not establish every mattress is recycled. Source

• Retailers must collect the assessment at point of sale as a separate receipt line item, buy only from registered producers/renovators, and give consumers collection-opportunity information; only registered entities may sell mattresses in Oregon. No retailer take-back mandate stated. Source
