2City curbside pickup in St. Helens

St. Helens’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.

St. Helens curbside bulky item collection (city-adopted rates)

destination not stated

Customers of the city's franchised collector inside St. Helens. Hudson Garbage Service's own residential page names the communities it serves, "Warren, St. Helens, Columbia City, Deer Island, Rainier, and Clatskanie", and St. Helens Municipal Code 8.04.040(1) requires a city franchise to collect solid waste in the city.

Conditions and source

The price is set by the city council, not the hauler. Exhibit A to City of St. Helens Resolution No. 2047, "HUDSON GARBAGE SERVICE, RATES EFFECTIVE July 1, 2025, CITY OF ST. HELENS", prices "SM MATTRESS — PER PICKUP — $12.80" and "M/LG MATTRESS — PER PICKUP — $19.10" in its BULKY block, alongside SM FURNITURE $18.40, M/LG FURNITURE $38.30, small and large appliances at $18.90 and $38.90 with the footnote "*(No refrigerators, freezers, Freon or compressors)", and a hot water heater at $38.90. The BULKY block is printed on the schedule's commercial page and the schedule does not say whether the rates apply to residential customers, commercial customers or both. SHMC 8.04.100(1) provides that "Rates for service shall be those as set by resolution", and 8.04.100(4) that "Nonscheduled services may be provided at the reasonable cost of providing the service". Under SHMC 8.04.060(3) whatever the collector takes "shall be transported to any county-approved transfer station within Columbia County to the extent that it is accepted by the transfer station". Curbside set-out under 8.04.070(5) is by 6:00 a.m. within five feet of the curb; 8.04.070(8) allows an extra walk-in fee where the customer does not bring the item to the curb, waived for a customer who is elderly or infirm and receiving licensed in-home care, or who has a certified disability and no other member of the household can place the can curbside.

  • $12.80 — "SM MATTRESS — PER PICKUP — $12.80", the new rate in the BULKY block of Exhibit A to City of St. Helens Resolution No. 2047, "HUDSON GARBAGE SERVICE, RATES EFFECTIVE July 1, 2025, CITY OF ST. HELENS". The superseded rate was $12.40. The schedule does not say whether the BULKY rates apply to residential customers, commercial customers or both.
  • $19.10 — "M/LG MATTRESS — PER PICKUP — $19.10", the new rate in the BULKY block of Exhibit A to City of St. Helens Resolution No. 2047, effective July 1, 2025. The superseded rate was $18.50.

Not confirmed: No booking channel, notice period or item limit is published for a St. Helens bulky pickup: neither the resolution nor the hauler's own pages describe one.

Not confirmed: Whether the adopted mattress rates are available to residential customers is not stated on the schedule.

Not confirmed: Nothing published says what happens to the mattress after collection, beyond that collected waste goes to a county-approved Columbia County transfer station.

Columbia County Transfer Station self-haul disposal

1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, OR 97051 · destination not stated

Open to the public Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays; the county's published solid waste rates state no residency requirement for self-haul, and name Columbia County residency only for the free paint, used motor oil and certified sharps containers.

Conditions and source

Rates effective July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027: a $28.35 minimum for a self-haul load up to 320 lbs., $172.35 per ton above that, and a senior rate of $17.45 up to 320 lbs. Yard debris is $28.35 up to 860 lbs. and $67.65 per ton above. An unsecured load costs $19.00 extra. Refrigerant appliances are $26.30 each and a boat or RV carries an $80.00 special handling fee. All transactions are rounded to the nearest five cents. Closed New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and the station may close at or after 1 PM on Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. The county's accepted and unaccepted items page lists mattresses and box springs on neither list, so on an ordinary day outside the four free mattress events this load rate is the only published price a mattress could fall under.

  • $28.35 — Minimum self-haul charge for a load up to 320 lbs., effective July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027; loads over 320 lbs. are charged $172.35 per ton, and a senior rate of $17.45 applies up to 320 lbs.
  • Plus $19 — Surcharge: unsecured load

Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress or box spring fee and does not name a mattress among the station's accepted or unaccepted items, so whether a mattress is taken on an ordinary day, and at what charge, is not established.

Not confirmed: Whether waste self-hauled here is landfilled or recovered is not stated.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Columbia County offers

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

  • Columbia County does not collect anything itself and its franchise reaches only outside city limits: "Columbia County Solid Waste division administers franchise agreements for garbage and recycling collection services in unincorporated areas of the county. The county's two franchisee haulers or service providers are Hudson Garbage dba Waste Connections and WM for residential and commercial collection services. If you have questions about residential or commercial collection services, please contact the service providers listed below." Hudson Garbage Service is at 2115 Gable Rd., St. Helens OR 97051, phone 503-397-1534, office hours Monday through Friday 8am - 4:30pm; WM is reached on 1-800-808-5901 or pnwrsservices@wm.com, with its service pages at wm.northwest.com/columbiacounty. Residents are told to identify their provider from the county's residential garbage and recycling map, or the drop box map for containers larger than 10 yards. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no bulky-item or large-item collection program and names no mattress term for either franchisee on this page. Not confirmed: No rate schedule appears here; the page directs all questions about service and price to the two haulers.
  • The county's residential collection page describes carts and frequencies and no bulky collection at all. "Columbia County's two franchisee haulers or service providers are Hudson Garbage Service and WM (formerly Waste Management) for residential garbage and recycling collection services. Contact your service provider about collection services." Hudson Garbage serves Clatskanie, Columbia City, Deer Island, Goble, Prescott, Rainier, St. Helens, Warren and Yankton, with weekly garbage, every-other-week recycling, and yard debris only in Columbia City and St. Helens; residents are told to "contact them for pricing and to set up and adjust services". WM serves Scappoose and Vernonia with weekly garbage and every-other-week recycling, again "contact them for pricing". Carts are 35, 65 or 95 gallon for garbage with Hudson and 20, 35, 64 or 96 gallon with WM. Set-out rules: "Place carts at the curb the night before or by 6am on the scheduled service day", at least 3 feet from any other cart and 6 feet from vehicles; no collection on New Year's Day or Christmas Day, with service delayed a day after a holiday. The page lists items that "do not belong in the trash, recycling or yard debris" — antifreeze or motor oil, appliances, asbestos, ashes, car batteries, chemicals, dead animals, liquid paint, medical waste and tires — and never mentions mattresses. Source Not confirmed: No bulky item, large item or on-call pick-up service is published for any Columbia County service area, and mattresses are named nowhere on the page. Not confirmed: Curbside prices are not published: the county refers residents to Hudson Garbage Service or WM for pricing.
  • The county, not the hauler, sets both the tip fee and the rural curbside rates, and its FY 2026-27 notice makes the boundary explicit. The Board of County Commissioners' notice of public hearing, dated June 4, 2026 for a hearing on Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at the John Gumm Building and Civic Center, 251 St. Helens Street, St. Helens, is headed "In the Matter of the Rate Adjustments for Solid Waste Curbside Collection Services in Unincorporated Columbia County and Tipping Fees at the Columbia County Transfer Station". Its purpose is "to consider proposed adjustments for tipping fees at the Columbia County Transfer Station and the rates for curbside garbage and recycling services for residents and businesses in rural Columbia County (i.e., outside city limits). If adopted, these changes will be effective July 1, 2026." Public Works recommended "a 7% increase on the municipal solid waste self-haul per-ton tipping fee and a 14% increase on the tipping fee for the county franchisee agreement haulers, Waste Connections dba Hudson Garbage Service, and Waste Management (WM)", plus "a 1.83% rate increase for rural Clatskanie, rural St. Helens, and rural Rainier, these areas are serviced by Waste Connections, dba Hudson Garbage Service. And a 9.7% rate increase in rural Scappoose and rural Vernonia, which are serviced by Waste Management (WM)." The hearing is conducted under the Columbia County Solid Waste Ordinance. Source Not confirmed: The notice publishes percentage increases rather than a rate table, and names no bulky-item or per-mattress charge in the rural curbside rates it sets. Not confirmed: Rates inside the city limits of St. Helens and Scappoose are outside what this county notice covers.
  • Not an option: The county's second transfer station is not a route for a mattress. WM's own information sheet describes the "Vernonia Transfer Station — A City of Vernonia facility, operated and managed by Waste Management", "Partnering with Columbia County to safely manage solid waste and support local recycling", at 701 California Avenue - Vernonia, Oregon 97064, WM customer service 800-808-5901. It is "OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON THESE DAYS ONLY: January - October: 2nd & 4th Saturdays; November - December: 1st & 3rd Saturdays; 8 am - 2 pm on above days only". Items accepted are "Household recycling, household garbage, tires and batteries". The items-not-accepted list includes "White Goods (appliances)", "Large items" and "Bulky Items" alongside hazardous waste, sewage, dead animals, medical waste, antifreeze, asbestos, fluorescent bulbs, liquids, dry wall, insulation, construction debris and paint. "All transactions are cash or local check only. We welcome checks with picture ID. No exceptions." Household waste loads "will be measured and charged by the cubic yard"; tires are $8 to $27 depending on size and rim and automotive batteries $4 each. Source Not confirmed: The sheet excludes "Large items" and "Bulky Items" without naming a mattress, so the exclusion is not stated in so many words for a mattress. Not confirmed: The cubic-yard price for household waste is not printed on the part of the sheet that lists the rates.
  • Not an option: The county's Habitat ReStore will not take a mattress, which saves a wasted trip to the obvious place. Columbia County Habitat for Humanity's ReStore at 164 Little Street, St. Helens, OR 97051 (donation intake Tuesday through Saturday 9:00am to 4:30pm, pickups at 971.472.1688) lists "Mattresses", "Box springs" and "Bedding" under "Usually not accepted", a list introduced as "The following items are not accepted for retail, legal, reputational, or safety reasons. On occasion there may be some exceptions to this list, but you should call ahead of time before coming down." Bed frames are only "Sometimes accepted" and then "(no wood)". The store accepts other home furnishings such as couches, chairs, dressers, nightstands and tables, and states "We can only accept donations that are sellable. All donations should be clean and free from odors, pet hair, stains and damage or general overuse" and "All donations must be approved by ReStore staff or volunteers in person." Source Not confirmed: The refusal is worded as "usually" with exceptions available by calling ahead, so it is a published policy rather than an absolute bar.

What to check before you go

  • Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
