Cheapest
Robertson County Transfer Station self-haul ("Mattresses are $15.00 each")
The county sets no residency test and asks for no proof of address on its fee page. It sets two prices instead: "$85/ton in county, $100/ton out of county with an $8 minimum for all Solid Waste and Construction Type materials". The department describes itself as operating "a Transfer Station & Recycling Center for residents and businesses in Robertson County", and the page is headed "NO COMMERCIAL ACCEPTED ON SATURDAYS", so Saturday is for households. Whether the in-county rate requires proof of a Robertson County address is not stated.
Conditions and source
The mattress charge is a flat per-item figure on the county's own fee list, alongside a $10.00 charge for anything containing a compressor or capacitor and $4.00 for a propane cylinder. The county does not say whether the $15.00 is added to the $8 minimum or the per-ton weight charge for the same trip. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, where "you must be in line by 3:00 p.m. to enter", and Saturday 7:00 am to 11:00 am, where "the line is cut off at 11:00 am". No commercial loads on Saturdays. Hazardous material is refused: "We do not accept any type of hazardous material." The county's six convenience centers are no help with a mattress — they "accept Bagged Household Garbage ONLY" with a ten-bag limit, and "All other items must be carried to the Transfer Station."
- $8 — The county's minimum charge on the scale: "$85/ton in county, $100/ton out of county with an $8 minimum for all Solid Waste and Construction Type materials (weight is calculated on 20 lb. increments.)" Out-of-county material is priced at $100 per ton against the same $8 floor.
- $15 — Robertson County's published transfer station fee list: "Mattresses are $15.00 each". Charged by the piece. The county does not say whether this stands alone or is added to the $8 minimum or the $85 per ton in-county rate for the same trip.
Not confirmed: Whether the $15.00 mattress charge stands alone or is added to the $8 minimum or the per-ton rate for the same trip is not published.
Not confirmed: Whether the mattress is recycled or landfilled is not stated; the department says only that it operates the station "where waste is collected and disposed".
Not confirmed: Whether the lower in-county rate requires any proof of address is not stated.

What Robertson County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Springfield and its neighbors.
- Robertson County, TENNESSEE publishes no curbside collection and no bulky item pickup of any kind. The Solid Waste Department's own page describes the whole of what the county does with household waste: it "operates the County's Transfer Station where waste is collected and disposed" and "oversees the operation of six convenience center locations throughout the county", which "accept bagged household garbage only" with a ten-bag limit. Nothing on the page offers to come and get a large item, and the county names no large-item service, no appointment line and no annual cleanup. The only county-run collection event it describes is for a different kind of waste: "RCSW in conjunction with the State of Tennessee provides a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day once a year for residents to dispose of items such as chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and other hazardous waste." For a resident of Springfield or Greenbrier, the county layer therefore offers a self-haul answer only. The City of Springfield runs its own collection service, which belongs on that city's page and is not restated here. Source Not confirmed: The county never states in so many words that it runs no bulky collection; this is an absence from the Solid Waste Department's own pages rather than a published refusal. Not confirmed: Whether Springfield or Greenbrier collects large items, and on what terms, was not researched here and is left to the city pass.
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

- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
