2Drop-off options near Sevierville
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Sevierville. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Sevier County bulk household waste drop-off, Center View multipurpose center ("some common examples include: bed headboards, bookshelves, chairs, couches, glass mirrors, mattresses, tables, and toys")
Sevier County residents, for waste from their own primary residence, under the same rule that governs every residential center: "only Sevier County residents may use the residential convenience centers for disposal of waste generated from their primary residence", with proof of residency something a user "may be asked" for. Center View is also one of the county's two short-term rental household garbage sites, so it serves two groups at once: county residents bringing household waste, and the cleaning businesses the county charges by load. The business side is defined as "Sevier County businesses disposing of bagged household garbage generated by income generating properties, such as short-term rentals", and it reaches a resident only in two cases the county names: "any Sevier County resident disposing of bagged household garbage exceeding the daily load limit", or "any Sevier County resident cleaning residential homes for commercial purposes", who "may also utilize the sites but must pay the applicable fee." Visitors staying in overnight rentals are directed to this site and to Wears Valley rather than to a residential center.
Conditions and source
The county defines bulk household waste by example as "bed headboards, bookshelves, chairs, couches, glass mirrors, mattresses, tables, and toys", with a daily limit of one "five-foot by eight-foot (5x8) pickup truck load, or 2) Small trailer of Bulk Household Waste" and a rule that the item goes in "a large open top container designated for bulk household waste or as directed by the attendant." This center keeps longer hours than the residential ones: "Open: Monday – Saturday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Sunday 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 pm", and it is "Closed on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day." The published load fees here are for bagged household garbage from income-generating property rather than for a mattress: under Resolution 2023-10-03 a Level 1 "Pickup Truck Full Load" or "Short Trailer Full Load" is $10, a Level 2 "Pickup Truck Over Limit" or "Long Trailer Full Load" is $15, and a Level 3 "Pickup Truck with Rails" or "Short Trailer with Rails" is $20, with anything larger sent to the landfill: "Any load level in excess of the Level 3 load listed below must be taken to the Sevier County landfill." No fee is published for a resident's bulk household waste.
Not confirmed: No price is published for a resident's bulk household waste, here or at any residential center, and the policy never says it is free. Whether a load carrying a mattress would instead be charged at the $10, $15 or $20 short-term rental levels is not stated — those levels are written for bagged household garbage.
Not confirmed: No limit on the number of mattresses inside the 5x8 load is published.
Not confirmed: Proof of residency "may be asked", so whether this center asks is not established.
Not confirmed: Nothing says whether a mattress is recycled or landfilled, so the outcome is unknown.

Sevier County bulk household waste drop-off, Pigeon Forge center ("some common examples include: bed headboards, bookshelves, chairs, couches, glass mirrors, mattresses, tables, and toys")
Sevier County residents only, for waste from their own primary residence. The county's adopted Solid Waste Operations Policy says "Residential Convenience Centers are established to provide locations across Sevier County where only Sevier County residents may dispose of household refuse", and "only Sevier County residents may use the residential convenience centers for disposal of waste generated from their primary residence." Proof is discretionary rather than a decal or sticker: "Any person disposing of waste at a residential convenience center may be asked to show proof of residency. A driver's license or any document showing the resident's name with a Sevier County address is acceptable proof of residency." A resident may haul for another resident as a favor — "Residents may also dispose of residential refuse from other Sevier County residents as needed such as immediate family members, neighbors, etc. as long as the respective resident is doing so as a personal service and not for commercial/business purposes" — but commercial loads are sent elsewhere: "Commercial purposes are required to use, if applicable, the short-term rental sites or the landfill." Visitors staying in overnight rentals are told to use the two multipurpose sites instead of this one.
Conditions and source
A mattress is bulk household waste, which the policy defines by example as "bed headboards, bookshelves, chairs, couches, glass mirrors, mattresses, tables, and toys", and it goes in an open container rather than a compactor: "Bulk household waste delivered to a convenience center should be placed in a large open top container designated for bulk household waste or as directed by the attendant." The daily limit is a load rather than a count: "Each resident is allowed up to either: 1) five-foot by eight-foot (5x8) pickup truck load, or 2) Small trailer of Bulk Household Waste." Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., "Closed: Sunday and holidays". Unloading is the resident's own job: "Solid waste collection sites operate on a self-service basis, meaning that users are responsible for disposing of their own waste. Users must bring any additional assistance anticipated for the proper disposal of their waste." No fee is published for a resident's bulk household waste at a residential center; the policy marks only the short-term rental sites as fee sites, saying "The short-term rental household garbage sites are fee sites meaning that tipping fees are required to dispose of waste at those centers." Loads over the daily limit go to Sevier Solid Waste, Inc. at 1855 Ridge Road, Pigeon Forge, which the county describes as a site "where a tipping fee is required" without publishing the amount.
Not confirmed: No price is published for a resident's bulk household waste, and the policy never says the drop-off is free, so the cost of taking a mattress here is not established.
Not confirmed: No limit on the number of mattresses inside the 5x8 load is published.
Not confirmed: Proof of residency "may be asked", so whether this center asks is not established. No decal, sticker or permit exists.
Not confirmed: Nothing says whether a mattress is recycled or landfilled, so the outcome is unknown.

What Sevier County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Sevierville and its neighbors.
- Sevier County, TENNESSEE runs no collection route of any kind. Its Solid Waste page describes a self-haul system only — twelve convenience centers, ten residential and two multipurpose — and the adopted operations policy says the same in its own words: "Solid waste collection sites operate on a self-service basis, meaning that users are responsible for disposing of their own waste. Users must bring any additional assistance anticipated for the proper disposal of their waste." There is no curbside pickup, no on-call bulky item pickup and no mattress collection to book with the county. The one fee program the county does operate is aimed at vacation rental cleaners rather than at householders: under Resolution 2023-10-03 the two multipurpose centers charge businesses by load size, $10 at Level 1 for a "Pickup Truck Full Load" or "Short Trailer Full Load", $15 at Level 2 for a "Pickup Truck Over Limit" or "Long Trailer Full Load", and $20 at Level 3 for a "Pickup Truck with Rails" or "Short Trailer with Rails". Those levels apply to bagged household garbage from income-generating property, not to a mattress, and a resident who stays inside the five-bag daily limit at a residential center is not covered by them. The county also tells visitors staying in overnight rentals to use the multipurpose sites rather than the residential ones. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no curbside or on-call bulky item collection, and it does not print a sentence saying it offers none. It describes only self-haul convenience centers. Not confirmed: No free dump day, voucher, amnesty week or annual cleanup appears on the county's Solid Waste page or in its operations policy. Not confirmed: The short-term rental load levels are published for bagged household garbage. Whether a load containing a mattress would be charged at those levels is not stated. Not confirmed: Which cities inside the county run collection of their own is not published by the county.
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
