How to get rid of a mattress in Sheridan, 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.

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.

• Not an option: The nearest landfill to Sheridan has shut its gate to the public, which matters because the city still lists it. WM's own page for the site says "Riverbend is no longer open to the public", gives the location as "13469 SW Highway 18, McMinnville, OR 97128" and the number as 503-472-8788, and redirects self-haul customers who used to go there to the Newberg Transfer Station at "2904 Wynooski Street", open "8 am - 5 pm, Monday - Saturday", where "Some materials are processed for free at this facility; others are accepted for a fee." Source Not confirmed: The page gives no date for the closure to the public and no condition under which it might reopen
• The city's own Recycling and Landfill directory still sends residents to Riverbend: it lists "Riverbend Landfill" at "13469 Highway 18, 9 miles east of Sheridan", notes that "fees apply for some items" and that "The Landfill is not operated by Recology Western Oregon", alongside Recology for residential and business pickup and a pointer to the recycling depot list on page 5 of Recology's customer guide. The operator's own page contradicts the city's directory by stating the landfill is no longer open to the public, so a Sheridan resident following the city page would make a wasted trip. The city page names no mattress option and no clean-up event. Source Not confirmed: The city directory has not been updated to reflect WM's statement that Riverbend is closed to the public Not confirmed: No fee of any kind is published on the city page
