How to get rid of a mattress in Roseburg, 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.

• Roseburg licenses its hauler rather than franchising it, and the Council controls the price. Under RMC 9.20.050.D.1 a licensee "shall charge each customer the rate established under this Section for the service provided and no other rate"; D.2 requires ninety days' written notice to the City Recorder and to every affected customer before any rate is adjusted or any new service and rate is established, after which the Council has thirty days to declare it will review; D.6 and D.7 bar a change more often than once in twelve months; D.8 requires the licensee to "maintain on file with the City Recorder a current schedule of its rates and charges." RMC 9.20.020.C.5 separately exempts "the transportation by a person or that person's agent of solid waste produced on that person's premises to a lawful disposal site" from the license requirement, so hauling your own mattress is expressly lawful.

• The fee schedule Roseburg Disposal has on file with the City Recorder, reproduced in the city's own September 14, 2026 council packet, has no bulky item and no mattress line anywhere in it. Residential service inside the city is $20.00/mo for 40 gallon, $31.50 for 60 and $45.75 for 90; "On Demand - $7.00 each pick-up"; "Each additional 35 gal can/bag - $5.75 each pick-up"; a 5 yard trailer is $90.00 per dump in the city; and the only labor line is under Special Services: "1 Person & Truck - $125/ hr. Additional person - $75/hr." Until December 31, 2026 that hourly rate is the only published way to have Roseburg Disposal carry a mattress off a Roseburg curb. Source
• Roseburg's dumping rule and the price of breaking it. RMC 9.20.060.E.1 makes it unlawful "to sort, scatter, dump, deposit or cause to be deposited any solid waste along the bank of or in any canal, ditch, creek or river, or in any street, alley or park, or on any lot, place or premises in the City, whether public or private." The penalty is in RMC 1.06.010: a violation is "punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,500", each day is a separate offense - and under 1.06.010.B doing it again after written notice makes it willful, which reclassifies it as a crime "punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000 and imprisonment not to exceed one year." Roseburg is one of very few cities that escalate a second dumping offense from a fine to a jailable one. Source
• Not an option: There is no Bye Bye Mattress collection site in Roseburg, and none anywhere in Douglas County. A locator search on Roseburg returns nothing closer than St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County's Cottage Grove Thrift Store, 910 Row River Road, Cottage Grove, at 43 miles - free drop-off for residents and businesses, 5 unit maximum, 10:00AM to 7:00PM seven days. Everything else within reasonable reach is further again: Thrift Right Here in Grants Pass at 54 miles, the Rogue Transfer Station at White City at 59, and the Eugene and Springfield St Vincent de Paul stores at 59 to 61. Oregon's program pays for free mattress recycling statewide, but in Roseburg there is nowhere in town taking part in it. Source
• Roseburg Disposal's own residential page publishes no bulky or mattress price and offers a trailer instead: a 5-yard trailer for "yard cleanup or general cleaning, junk removal, or a small project" at "$90 PER DUMP" in the city and "$101.50 PER DUMP" rural, with a three-day limit and no demolition or construction waste. Mattresses are not named anywhere on the page, and no extra-item or large-item rate is given. Source Not confirmed: The operator's public site names no bulky-item price and does not say whether it will collect a mattress at all; the answer only appears in the fee schedule the city holds.

• 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
