How to get rid of a mattress in Pendleton, OR.

If you are replacing the mattress, the shop will often take the old one when they deliver. Usually one old mattress per new one, and only if it is dry and clean. Oregon law requires some of them to offer this; those come first.

Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Pendleton and its neighbors.

• Umatilla County does not collect anything itself. Chapter 50, the "Solid Waste Management Ordinance", franchises the work out and then sets the prices. § 50.020 makes franchises compulsory, § 50.070(A) says "The Board by order shall establish rates to be charged by a franchisee for its service. No franchisee shall charge for any service other than at a rate established pursuant to this chapter", and § 50.070(B) lets the Board "establish uniform rates throughout the county, or may establish uniform rates within zones based upon the length of haul". A rate change starts with the franchisee proposing one in writing to the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, which must publish the proposal "in a paper of general circulation in the service area to be affected, and in three prominent places in said area" and invite written remonstrances within two weeks. The eligibility line that matters to a reader is § 50.003(B)(1): except as provided in § 50.030, the chapter does "not apply" "Within the incorporated limits of any city". So the county's franchises, and the county's rates, govern unincorporated Umatilla County only - Hermiston, Pendleton, Umatilla and Milton-Freewater each franchise their own hauler. The ordinance distinguishes a "FRANCHISE, COLLECTION" from a "FRANCHISE, DISPOSAL" ("A franchise to create, maintain or operate a disposal site, including a transfer station"), which is why the county's disposal sites are privately run under county franchise rather than county-owned. Source Not confirmed: The word "mattress" does not appear anywhere in Chapter 50, and neither does "bulky": the ordinance sets no item-level rule and names no bulky-item service. Not confirmed: The ordinance sets the rate-setting machinery but contains no rate schedule, and the county publishes no franchisee rate sheet on its website, so no county-set price for any service could be read. Not confirmed: Nowhere does the county state in its own words that it runs no collection or drop-off of its own; that is read from the franchise structure rather than from a sentence saying so.
• Who holds the unincorporated-county franchise, and what it costs, is settled in open session rather than on a rates page. The Board of Commissioners' minutes for May 18, 2026 record: "Waste Connections of Oregon DBA Sanitary Disposal, Inc., having a solid waste franchise through Umatilla County, proposes to increase its rate within its franchised area of unincorporated Umatilla County by 14.0%. If approved, the proposed rate increase will go into effect on July 1, 2026. On April 14, 2026 the Umatilla County Solid Waste Advisory Committee met and voted to recommend approval of the proposed rate increase requested by Sanitary Disposal, Inc." The franchisee's representatives are named as "Kevin Miracle, Sanitary Disposal, 81144 N Hwy 395, Hermiston OR", with a controller in Longview, Washington and a third representative in Portland. Chair Dorran noted "that the County rates have increased over 44% in the last three years", and the minutes record that "Many other cities in the county over the last two to three years agreed to a 37.5% rate increase", confirming that the cities set their own. The item was to return to the Commissioners' meeting of June 3, 2026, with a separate later discussion "about county, public and private roads and 'walk-in' versus 'drive-in' rates". Source Not confirmed: The minutes quote a percentage, not a schedule: no dollar rate, no bulky-item charge and no mattress charge appears, and the exhibit containing the rate sheet is not published with the minutes. Not confirmed: Whether the 14.0% increase was in fact adopted on June 3, 2026 is not recorded in this document. Not confirmed: The minutes cover collection rates only and say nothing about self-haul or transfer-station gate rates.
