How to get rid of a mattress in Dallas, 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.

• Dallas City Code chapter 4 names the city's hauler and then explains, in one sentence, why no bulky price is published anywhere. DCC 4.752 defines "Franchisee. Dallas Disposal Co., dba Allied Waste Services of Dallas" - now trading as Republic Services - with a service area of "the area within the city limits of the city as now constituted, together with any area hereafter annexed". DCC 4.774 puts rate-setting with the council ("The council shall establish and as considered necessary from time to time change rates by resolution"), and then: "Rates changed shall be those provided in 'Exhibit A'. Non-scheduled services may be provided at the reasonable cost of providing the service" - so a bulky pickup sits outside the published schedule by design. On set-out, DCC 4.782 requires that "All solid waste, with the exception of large, bulky items, shall be deposited promptly in a receptacle" and allows bulky waste in an appropriately sized receptacle "so long as the accumulation does not create a nuisance or fire hazard"; DCC 4.786(5), as amended by Ord. No. 1904 on March 3, 2025, limits "Placement of receptacles at curbside or roadside ... to a time period of 24 hours prior to collection and 24 hours after collection", within four feet of the curb. DCC 4.788 bars removing, disturbing or scattering anything placed out for collection, and DCC 4.704 makes it an offense to place garbage or trash "in any street, alley, or other public place, or upon any private property" except in proper containers, or to "Collect or haul garbage or rubbish for hire unless the person has received a franchise from the city"; 4.706 makes that a civil infraction. Source Not confirmed: Exhibit A, the council-adopted Dallas rate schedule, is not published on the city's website, so no cart rate and no bulky-item rate could be read from a city source. Not confirmed: The code does not say what a non-scheduled bulky pickup costs, only that it may be charged at the reasonable cost of providing it.
• Dallas has a drop-off site inside the city, which is more than most of Polk County can say, but the city publishes no item list for it. The city's Reuse & Recycle page says: "There is a recycling depot located at 1030 W Ellendale Avenue. Mon - Fri - 8 am - 5 pm. Sat - 8 am - 12 pm", and for anything further, "For more information about recycling, contact Republic Services at 541.754.0444." The accepted materials are carried only in an attached file, recycling_acceptance_lists.pdf, which the city's server refuses to serve to anything but an interactive browser session. Nothing on the page says the depot takes a mattress, and no gate rate or per-item fee appears. Source Not confirmed: The Dallas recycling depot's acceptance list is published only as a PDF that could not be retrieved, so whether the depot takes a mattress is unestablished - and an unpublished acceptance is not an acceptance. Not confirmed: No gate rate, per-item fee or proof-of-residency rule for the Ellendale Avenue depot is published by the city.
• Not an option: Dallas's one free annual clean-up does not take mattresses. The city's page for the Republic Services Recycle Round-up - held at the Dallas Recycle Depot, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, with "no charge for Dallas residents bringing household quantities of materials for recycling or composting" - publishes the accepted list in full: "Yard debris and branches; Cardboard; Unpainted and untreated wood; Scrap metal (barbecues and lawnmowers must have fluids and tanks removed beforehand); Large appliances; Televisions; Computers and mobile electronics." Mattresses are not on it. The page then lists what it will not take: "Paint; Hazardous waste (car fluids, pesticides, fertilizers, explosives, lubricants, etc.); Household trash; Tires; Dirt or Concrete." A mattress is neither a listed recyclable nor compostable, and household trash is refused outright, so the free event is not a route for one. Source Not confirmed: The city page does not state the Round-up's 2026 date; the version published gives Saturday, March 30 and Republic's own 2026 Dallas calendar gives Saturday, March 28, so the current year's date could not be settled from one source.
• Republic Services' Dallas, Oregon location page does offer a bulk pickup and does name a mattress - "Need to remove an old mattress or refrigerator? Let us do the heavy lifting with a bulk trash pickup" - but the same sentence, word for word, appears on Republic's Stayton and Silverton Oregon pages too, so it is corporate template text rather than a Dallas term. The page carries no price, no item limit, no notice period and no street address for the Dallas operation. Republic's own 2026 Dallas Recycling Guide & Calendar, the only Dallas-specific document it publishes, covers cart materials, holidays, leaf pickup on November 7–8 and December 12–13 and the recycling event, and contains no bulky-item, large-item or mattress entry at all. Source Not confirmed: Republic publishes no price, allowance or booking terms for a bulky pickup in Dallas, and the wording that names a mattress is shared boilerplate across its Oregon location pages, so it establishes no Dallas-specific term.

• 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
• Linked fee-breakdown page describes July 3, 2025 increases and lists mattress/box-spring rate-code amounts (MattBxsp TN $293.12, EA $17.44; MatBxspTN Recy $293.12). Applicability to current household recycling or garbage is not explained; August 2026 consumer page says Glenwood recycling free. 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
• Oregon Mattress Stewardship Program under SB 1576 (2022), implemented by Mattress Recycling Council from Jan 1, 2025. $22.50 stewardship assessment per mattress or boxspring collected at point of sale; collected units processed for renovation, reuse or recycling. 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
