How to get rid of a mattress in Klamath Falls, 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.

• Klamath Falls' franchised hauler publishes a city rate sheet with no mattress on it. WM's City of Klamath Falls rates, effective September 1, 2026, are $23.58 a month for a 35 gallon rollcart, $29.10 for 64 gallon and $34.69 for 96 gallon, each twenty cents less on the senior rate, with weekly recycling included. The only extra-item line on the whole schedule is "Extra bag, box, can" at $4.28. There is no bulky-item rate, no on-call large-item rate and no furniture or mattress line, and nothing on the page offers to collect one. Source Not confirmed: WM publishes no price for collecting a bulky item in Klamath Falls and does not say on its city pages whether it will take a mattress at the curb at all. An unpublished fee is not a free one: the cost of curbside mattress collection in Klamath Falls is unestablished.
• The City of Klamath Falls runs no collection of its own and says so plainly: "The City of Klamath Falls currently has a franchise agreement with Waste Management to provide waste disposal services to residents and businesses in Klamath Falls", directing all service questions to 800-808-5901. The city's page adds one local rule that matters to a self-hauler: glass cannot go in the curbside bin and must be taken to the Klamath County landfill at 801 Old Fort Road. The page offers no bulky-item program, no clean-up day and no mattress guidance. Source Not confirmed: The city's franchise with Waste Management was granted by a special emergency ordinance rather than a codified chapter; it is not in the city code on eCode360 and no adopted rate resolution or franchise rate exhibit is published on the city's site, so the city-set price for any collection service could not be read.
• Klamath Falls writes the one line that catches a mattress on a porch. KFC 5.650 Prohibited outdoor storage: "A. No owner or person in charge of property shall keep any junk, debris, or inoperable vehicles outdoors on any street, lot, or premises; or in a building that is not wholly or entirely enclosed except for doors used for ingress and egress. ... C. Indoor furniture and appliances shall not be stored outdoors." A mattress or sofa left on a porch, a lawn or a driveway in Klamath Falls is a nuisance on the face of the code, whether or not anyone complains about trash. Source
• Two more Klamath Falls rules a reader actually needs. KFC 5.626.A: "No person shall deposit, store or keep upon public or private property any kind of rubbish, junk, trash, debris, refuse or any substance that would mar the appearance, create a stench or fire hazard, detract from the cleanliness or safety of the property". KFC 5.626.B ends with the set-out rule: "No garbage container shall be allowed to remain on or adjacent to the planting strip except for those days in which the garbage is to be collected." And KFC 5.626.C covers the drive out to the landfill: no person shall move a vehicle transporting solid waste to a disposal site "unless such person shall have secured the load in such a manner that a protective cover is provided or that the load is sufficiently bound with rope or other suitable material so that refuse or other solid waste shall not drop or be scattered from the trailer or vehicle." A mattress on an unsecured pickup bed on the way to 801 Old Fort Road is a city offense in its own right. Source
• The fine in Klamath Falls, and the way out of it. KFC 5.690: "Violation of any of the provisions of Articles 8 through 13 is punishable by fine of not less than $50.00, nor more than $500.00" - Articles 8 to 13 being the whole nuisance code, including the outdoor-storage and trash sections. But KFC 5.692 gives something most cities do not: "abatement of a nuisance within the time provided from the date of notice to abate ... shall relieve the person responsible from the imposition of any fine under Section 5.690 for that nuisance." Clear the mattress inside the notice period and there is no fine. Separately, KFC 5.683 charges a monthly enforcement fee on a property still out of compliance thirty days after a written notice of violation, in an amount set by the City Manager. Source

• 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.
