2City curbside pickup in Red Bank
Red Bank’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.
Red Bank bulk trash removal
City of Red Bank residents, "Residents are only allowed 3 pickups per calendar year." The material must come from the address it is set out at: "Bulk trash that is NOT generated on the premises where it is presented will not be picked up by City of Red Bank".
Conditions and source
Request a work order through the city's Citizen Portal; "Bulk trash is picked up throughout the work week". The city defines what qualifies by size rather than by a list: "Bulk trash consists of any items, other than HAZARDOUS MATERIALS," "that cannot fit in your City of Red Bank issued garbage can". Keep it separate from brush, which has its own allowance of three pickups a year and must not be combined with bulk trash, household garbage, metals or stones. Garbage cans must be in place by 7am on the collection day.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for bulk trash removal and the city does not state that it is free, so no price is recorded.
Not confirmed: Red Bank never names a mattress or a box spring in an accepted or refused list; the item appears to fall inside the city's definition of bulk trash, but no acceptance by name is published.
Not confirmed: No limit on the number of items in one of the three annual pickups is published.

Cheapest
Walker County Landfill mattress and box spring disposal ($17.00 in county, $20.00 out of county)
Open to in-county and out-of-county customers at different published rates: the Walker County Landfill Material List and Rate Guide carries one column of in-county items and one of out-of-county items, and mattresses appear in both. No proof-of-residency rule, decal, sticker or permit is published, and the guide does not say how the county establishes which rate applies.
Conditions and source
Open Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on Sunday. 'All customers must offload their waste and exit the facility by 4:00 p.m. Large loads that cannot be unloaded quickly may be turned away.' Household garbage must be bagged, not loose; bring your own tools; no scavenging. The county reserves the right to refuse any waste at any time. A box spring is priced the same as a mattress, so a bed set is two charges. A minimum fee of $7.00 per load in county, or $9.00 out of county, also appears on the rate guide. Couches and loveseats are $10.00 each, white goods containing a refrigerant system $25.00 in county, and household garbage $56.00 per ton in county. Free recycling bins sit at the transfer station. Rates took effect July 1, 2025. Call 706-375-8910.
- $17 — 'Mattress & Boxsprings' at '$17.00' each under in-county items on the Walker County Landfill Material List and Rate Guide, rates effective July 1, 2025. A box spring is priced the same as a mattress.
- $20 — 'Mattresses & Boxsprings' at '$20.00' each under out-of-county items on the same rate guide, effective July 1, 2025 - the charge for waste brought in from outside Walker County.
Not confirmed: The rate guide does not say whether the $7.00 in-county or $9.00 out-of-county minimum load fee is charged on top of the per-mattress charge or instead of it.
Not confirmed: No proof-of-residency rule is published for ordinary landfill use, so how the in-county rate is established is not stated.
Not confirmed: Whether the mattress is landfilled or recycled is not stated.

Acceptable items are household trash and C & D materials. Propane and compressed gas tanks, paint, hazardous chemicals, gas, kerosene and state or federally regulated contaminants are refused. A regulatory fee of 4.25% of the total charge is added to every transaction. Payment is by credit or debit card only - no Discover cards, cash or checks. County equipment may not be used to offload materials from private vehicles, so be prepared to unload your own.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published for the transfer station, so whether a non-resident may use it is not established.

Tennessee mattress disposal rules
- No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on TDEC pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
- TDEC Materials Management page links a 'Where may I dispose of recycle items near me?' ArcGIS dashboard (arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/f7515b25ca29478a8adc6a9dc8c1f7c1); program supports 95 counties and solid waste planning regions. Source
- The ArcGIS dashboard TDEC links from its Materials Management page is titled "County Recycling Centers". Its correct address is arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/f7515b25ca29478a8adc6a9dc8c1f7c1 — this corrects the partially recorded id in st-tn-102 (the id f7515b25ca29478a8a1b9bd68a4bba51 returns "item cannot be found"). It is the statewide map residents use to find county recycling centers. Source
- TDEC's Waste Management Branch page lists the state's full set of solid waste programs — Solid Waste, Landfill Operators Certification, waste tire hauler, hazardous and medical waste, and Materials Management (Recovered Materials, grants, HHW, waste tires, organics, debris management, BOPAE household batteries/oil/paint/antifreeze/electronics). No mattress program, bulky-waste rule or disposal ban appears. The page also links the Solid Waste Dataviewer (dataviewers.tdec.tn.gov/dataviewers/f?p=19035:34001), which searches facility information, inspection reports, complaints and forms. It notes that, effective August 1, Materials Management moves into TDEC's Division of Stakeholder Engagement with programs and services continuing unchanged. Source
- Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Tennessee is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Tennessee. Source
