How to get rid of a mattress in Redmond, 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.

• Redmond's own code makes collection compulsory and self-haul narrow, and a mattress falls outside the self-haul carve-out. Sec. 4.408 ("Disposal - Mandatory Garbage Collection") reads: "Mandatory collection of refuse is required by a vote of the electorate. Every person shall dispose of all garbage promptly through the services of the collector of refuse... No person shall perform any of the provisions of the contract referred to above except the collector of refuse. However, persons shall be allowed to haul to a designated dumping site all items which are designated in Section 4.400 as rubbish." Sec. 4.400 defines Rubbish narrowly as "Dirt, sod rocks, limbs, bushes, trees and wood scraps from all public and private establishments and residences", while Refuse is "Garbage and all other putrescible and non-putrescible wastes except sewage" - so the code's self-haul permission covers yard and wood waste, not household goods. Sec. 4.402 gives the franchisee "the exclusive right to collect, remove and dispose of all refuse except recognized industrial by-products". Sec. 4.406 ("Charges - Established") puts the price in the City's hands: "Immediately upon award of a contract, the Council shall by resolution adopt a schedule of charges for the service rendered." Sec. 4.412 bars dumping: "No person shall burn, dump, collect, remove or in any other manner dispose of refuse or garbage upon any street, alley, public place or private property within the City otherwise than as provided by this chapter." No section of the chapter mentions mattresses, bulky items or a large-item pickup. Source Not confirmed: The Council's resolution adopting the schedule of charges under Sec. 4.406 is not published on the City's website, so no per-item, bulky or mattress price set by the City could be read. Not confirmed: The code does not say whether a household mattress hauled by the resident to a transfer station is inside or outside the Sec. 4.408 'rubbish' exemption; it is simply not addressed.
• The City confirms who collects and that service is not optional, but publishes no price. Its Utility Billing page states: "Redmond City code mandates garbage service for those living within the City. Republic Services (formerly known as High Country Disposal) has a contract with the City to collect garbage throughout the City. For questions on garbage pickup or billing, please call Republic Services at (541) 548-4984 or visit their website using the link below." Water, stormwater and sewer are billed by the City; garbage billing was moved to Republic Services directly. Republic's own Redmond and Sisters page gives the local office as "1090 NE Hemlock Ave, Redmond, OR 97756", walk-in hours "Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.", and states the City-approved increase: "Effective July 1st, 2026 the following approved rates will apply: City of Redmond and Redmond UGB rate increase of 8%". On large items it says only: "Bulky items, junk and debris cleanup services (additional fee) such as couches, TVs, refrigerators, computers, desks and more. Recyclable items will be taken to a facility for recycling." The one clean-up event the page carries is not Redmond's: "City of Sisters Fall Cleanup, October 19-23, 2026. Please note: This is ONLY for customers within the boundaries of the City of Sisters." Source Not confirmed: Neither the City nor Republic Services publishes a price for the bulky-item cleanup service in Redmond; the page says only '(additional fee)'. Not confirmed: Neither page states whether a mattress or box spring is accepted on the bulky cleanup, or whether it carries a surcharge.
• Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity's ReStore takes mattresses only in near-perfect condition, and its published Redmond drop-off does not line up with the addresses the charity publishes. The ReStore donation guidelines list under furniture "Yes Please: ... Pristine Mattresses (must be seen in person) and pristine mattress/box spring sets" and under "No thanks: ... Mattresses with any visible wear" and "Box springs without matched mattress". Items accepted for resale "must be clean, dry, complete, and in good working order". The same page gives drop-off hours as "Bend: Monday-Saturday 9am - 5pm" and "Redmond: Tuesday-Saturday 9am-5pm", and offers pick-up: "For residential pick up of items that won't fit in a passenger vehicle, click to schedule online or call us at 541-312-6709." But the charity's own contact page lists a single store - "Bend ReStore, 224 NE Thurston Ave, Bend, OR 97701, Daily - 10 am - 6 pm, 541-312-6709" - the ReStore home page shows only the Bend store, and the organization's "Store Hours and Location - Redmond" page serves a 2020 press release announcing that "both ReStores will be consolidated in Bend" and that the charity had bought land for a future Redmond ReStore "located at 2285 S. Highway 97". A Redmond street address is not published anywhere on the charity's site. Source Not confirmed: Bend-Redmond Habitat publishes Redmond drop-off hours but no Redmond street address, and its contact and home pages list only the Bend store, so whether a Redmond ReStore is currently open could not be established. Not confirmed: The guidelines do not say whether 'pristine' mattresses are assessed before or after the donor arrives, beyond 'must be seen in person'.

• 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
