How to get rid of a mattress in Lebanon, 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.

• Lebanon names its hauler and publishes nothing else about prices. The City of Lebanon's Solid Waste page states: "Solid waste collection service in the City of Lebanon is provided by Republic Services", and links onward to Republic's Albany municipality page. The topics the City lists are regular garbage pickup, recycling, Hazardous Waste Collection, Christmas Tree Pick-Up, a Recycling Drop-Off Center and Coffin Butte Landfill, with a pointer to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for recycling and hazardous waste detail. No rate schedule, bulky-item procedure or mattress rule appears on the page, and no rate document is linked from it. Source Not confirmed: The City publishes no solid waste rate schedule on its website, so the price of a Lebanon bulky-item or mattress collection could not be established. Not confirmed: The City publishes no bulky-item booking instructions of its own.
• The code is where Lebanon's own rules actually live, and it is explicit that the Council fixes the price and that a resident may take it themselves. Lebanon Municipal Code Chapter 8.16, the "Solid Waste Management Ordinance", defines "Franchisee" as "republic services" (Sec. 8.16.030(4)) and at Sec. 8.16.040 grants "an exclusive right, privilege and franchise to provide service within the city limits ... No other person shall provide service for compensation or offer to provide or advertise for the performance of such service to any owner, tenant, lessee, or occupant of any real property in the city of Lebanon." The same section's exceptions provide that nothing in the chapter shall "Prohibit any person from transporting solid waste he produces himself to an authorized disposal site or resource recovery facility. The solid waste produced by a tenant, licensee, occupant or person other than the owner of the premises is produced by such person and not by the landlord or property owner", nor prohibit collection of source-separated materials "for the purpose of raising funds for a charitable, civic or benevolent activity, after notice to the franchisee and permission from the franchisee or the council." Sec. 8.16.130 (Rates): "Rates for service under this franchise shall be approved by the city council by resolution", on criteria that include "The rates in other cities for similar service" and "The public interest"; "The franchisee will not propose a rate increase if margin on revenue is over twelve percent." Sec. 8.16.150 (City collections) reserves the City's own clean-ups: "Nothing herein contained shall be construed as in any way preventing the city of Lebanon from conducting an annual clean-up campaign for the collection of brush, cleaning out of garages or basements, or any other facility or location in the city so as to prevent public nuisances." On the householder's side, Sec. 8.16.140 caps a manually collected can at "sixty pounds gross loaded weight or thirty-two gallons in size" and a mechanised cart at "one hundred twenty pounds gross loaded weight", requires that every generator "remove or have removed all putrescible wastes at least every seven days", requires a residential customer to "place the container to be emptied outside of any locked or latched gate and outside of any garage or other building", and requires that any vehicle carrying waste "be so loaded and operated as to prevent the waste from dropping, sifting, leaking, blowing, or otherwise escaping from the vehicle". The franchise fee is seven percent of gross receipts (Sec. 8.16.060). Source Not confirmed: Chapter 8.16 nowhere mentions mattresses, bulky items or a large-item collection. Not confirmed: The Council resolution that actually fixes the rates under Sec. 8.16.130 is not published on the City's website, so no Lebanon price could be read. Not confirmed: Sec. 8.16.200 (Penalties) was not captured in full, so the penalty for a violation is not quoted here.
• The hauler's own Lebanon guide, published for this city and this year, covers the calendar and says nothing about large items. The "City of Lebanon Recycling Guide & Calendar 2026" from Republic Services, giving the office as "1214 SE Montgomery St. Albany, OR 97322" and the number 503-981-1278, sets out what goes in the cart (cardboard and cartons, paper, plastic bottles, round containers, buckets and rigid plant pots with "Caps OK if screwed on. All items must be 2 inches by 2 inches or larger", aluminum and steel cans and scrap metal, and glass bottles and jars in a glass-only bin) and the year's collection calendar, with "Set carts out by 5 a.m.", "Set carts out with handles toward the house", "Do not block cars, bike lanes, mailboxes, sidewalks or driveways" and "Note: Drivers work on all holidays. There will be no delays in collection for any holiday." The dated events it lists for Lebanon are: "Household Hazardous Waste Event - City of Lebanon Shops - 305 W. Oak Street, Saturday, April 4 (from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.)"; "Recycling Roundup Events - Saturday, May 2, at City of Lebanon Shops (from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.)"; Christmas tree pickup December 28, 2026 to January 15, 2027; and Christmas light collection at the Albany office. Recycling, trash and yard waste are collected weekly, with glass on blue weeks. Source Not confirmed: The guide contains no bulky-item, large-item or mattress information of any kind, and no prices. Not confirmed: The Recycling Roundup listing does not publish what materials it takes, so whether a mattress is accepted there is not established.

• 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.
