City of Cornelius bulky item collection (mattresses priced by size)
Cornelius contracts its collection to two companies: "Evergreen Disposal and Recycling, Inc. and Hillsboro Garbage provide services in Cornelius under contract with the City. Each company services customers in a defined area of the City." The bulky item fees are set in the City's own adopted rate schedule, so the price is the same whichever company serves the address. The City offers a "Garbage and Recycling Day Tool" for finding which company serves a given address.
Conditions and source
The City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024 sets "BULKY ITEM COLLECTION FEES - Pick Up Fee: $20 per trip plus the item(s) charges detailed below." Mattresses and bedding are charged per piece: "Twin/Double $7.50", "Queen $15.00", "King Mattress $30.00", "King Box Spring $7.50". In practice a twin or double mattress costs $27.50 collected, a queen $35.00, a king mattress $50.00 and a king box spring $27.50; further pieces on the same trip add only their item charge. If two drivers are needed "because the item(s) are not easily accessible (e.g., in driveway, garage, front porch (no stairs))", the second driver is charged at an hourly rate, with "$15 includes first 5 minutes of first driver". "If the bulky item is not there when the service provider arrives and the customer has not cancelled the pickup, the customer will still be charged the $20.00 pickup fee."
- $7.50 — "Mattresses / Bedding (per piece) - Twin/Double $7.50" on the City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024, on top of the $20 per trip pick-up fee.
- $7.50 — "Mattresses / Bedding (per piece) - King Box Spring $7.50" on the City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024, on top of the $20 per trip pick-up fee. No twin, double or queen box spring line is published.
- $15 — "Mattresses / Bedding (per piece) - Queen $15.00" on the City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024, on top of the $20 per trip pick-up fee.
- $20 — "Pick Up Fee: $20 per trip plus the item(s) charges detailed below" on the City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024. Charged once per visit, on top of each item's own charge, and still charged "If the bulky item is not there when the service provider arrives and the customer has not cancelled the pickup".
- $30 — "Mattresses / Bedding (per piece) - King Mattress $30.00" on the City of Cornelius rate schedule effective September 1, 2024, on top of the $20 per trip pick-up fee.
Not confirmed: The schedule prices a King Box Spring but no twin, double or queen box spring, so which rate those attract is not published.
Not confirmed: How much notice a bulky pickup needs, and which of the two companies to call, are not published by the City.
Not confirmed: It is not published whether the service is open to households that do not subscribe to curbside collection, nor what happens to the mattress afterwards.

Metro Central Transfer Station free mattress and box spring drop-off
Any customer at the public scale; the page states no residency requirement and sets the allowance per customer per day.
Conditions and source
Up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day are accepted for free, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, closed the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds and air mattresses are not covered and are accepted as garbage at the garbage rate ($51 minimum, $176.70 per ton). When mattresses arrive as part of a mixed load the customer receives a $2.40 credit for each mattress or box spring. Loads must be covered or pay an extra $25 per ton ($3 extra on minimum loads).
Not confirmed: Metro does not say whether the mattresses it takes are recycled, reused or landfilled.
Not confirmed: Metro's July 1, 2025 printed flyer gives the allowance as a $2.30 rebate per item up to four per day rather than a free drop-off, so the free-drop-off wording is only on the undated webpage.

Wilsonville Bulky Waste Day — free city drop-off, mattresses accepted (Saturday, October 17, 2026)
Wilsonville residents only: "Proof of Wilsonville residence is required to participate." The city describes the event as "an opportunity for Wilsonville residents to dispose of large or unusual items that cannot be picked up curbside."
Conditions and source
Held twice a year, spring and autumn; the autumn 2026 event is Saturday, October 17, 9 am to 1 pm, at the Republic Services / WRI Transfer Station, 10295 SW Ridder Rd., which the city notes "is now accessible from 95th Ave." Mattresses are on the accepted list: "dishwashers, televisions, refrigerators, computers, monitors, stoves, dryers, water heaters, couches, mattresses, scrap metal, tables and chairs, and clean, untreated wood", with all fuel and oils emptied from lawn mowers and other powered equipment. Not accepted: "construction debris of any type, propane bottles or canisters, paint, batteries, solvents, thinners, household garbage, car tires, or yard debris." There is no charge; instead the city asks for a donation by cash, check or Venmo to Wilsonville Community Sharing, collected on site. Vehicles go first to the donations area, then over the scales, then to the disposal bays, and "Participants should only bring items that can be removed from vehicles without staff assistance." The Rotary Club of Wilsonville separately collects for "a limited number older adults and other Wilsonville residents unable to transport waste to Republic Services", limited to about 30 requests on a first-come, first-served basis and "intended only for those who would otherwise be unable to participate"; it is requested through a city webform.
Not confirmed: The city does not say what counts as proof of Wilsonville residence, nor whether there is any cap on items or load weight, though vehicles are weighed.
Not confirmed: The donation is described as a request rather than a charge, but no minimum or suggested amount is published.
Not confirmed: The spring date is not published on this page — the city says only that the event is "scheduled each spring and fall".
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether mattresses dropped at the event are recycled under the state program or landfilled, so the outcome is recorded as unknown.

- 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.
