2Drop-off options near Tullahoma
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Tullahoma. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Nearest
Franklin County mattress drop-off at 419 Joyce Lane, Winchester (the county's own words: "if you have purchased a new Sofa, Chair or a Mattress you can dispose of your old one")
Franklin County limits this to its own residents and writes it around a replacement purchase, in its own words: "Furniture : As a county resident if you have purchased a new Sofa, Chair or a Mattress you can dispose of your old one at 419 Joyce Lane in Winchester or at Republic Transfer Station 9577 Tullahoma Hwy. Estill Springs Tn. 37330." The county also bars business waste from the site in capitals: "WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY COMMERCIAL WASTE AT OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS OR JOYCE LANE FACILITY." Whether the county turns away a resident who is replacing nothing is not published.
Conditions and source
A mattress goes to the county's own Joyce Lane facility, not to its nine convenience centers: the mattress sentence names only "419 Joyce Lane in Winchester" and the privately operated "Republic Transfer Station 9577 Tullahoma Hwy. Estill Springs Tn. 37330", and the convenience centers - Alto, Capitol Hill, Center Grove, Cowan, Estill Springs, Lexie Crossroads, Old Salem, Sewanee and Winchester Springs - are listed elsewhere on the page for recyclables, waste oil and antifreeze. Joyce Lane's posted window is "Center Trash Disposal: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:25 p.m." and "Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.", phone (931) 967-1139. A whole clean-out is sent elsewhere: "Large and Bulky Items: Rental Property Clean Outs, House Clean Outs, Sheds and Garage clean outs must be taken to Republic Transfer Station located at 9577 Tullahoma Hwy. Estill Springs Tn. 37330." No price is published for the mattress and the county nowhere says it is free, so the fee is recorded as not confirmed.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee is published for 419 Joyce Lane and the county does not say it is free, so the price is not confirmed.
Not confirmed: The rule is written for a resident who has bought a replacement; whether a resident replacing nothing is turned away is not published.
Not confirmed: Whether the mattress is landfilled or recycled is not stated.

What Coffee County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Tullahoma and its neighbors.
- Coffee County runs ten convenience centers and a recycling center, and it bars the towns from them. The Rural Solid Waste Department states: "Coffee County Convenience Centers are only for the use of rural county residents. This action was taken by county commissioners in 1991 when rural solid waste started being taxed with rural tax dollars instead of county general tax dollars." That is the whole of the published eligibility, and the county does not define "rural" on the page. The department sits at 2180 Murfreesboro Highway, Manchester, TN 37355, open Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and can be reached at 931-723-5139. "There are ten Convenience Center Locations throughout the county, and nine of them accept certain recyclable materials" - recycling is taken at every center "(Except Ninth Model)". The county publishes no accepted-items list for the centers at all, and says so: "Signs are posted at each center listing some of these items, however, please be aware that these are only partial lists. If you have a question concerning disposal of an item, please ask the attendant." The only published price is for tires, at the site at 2180 Murfreesboro Highway, open Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.: "A Coffee County household can dispose of up to 8 tires per year at no charge. Any amount above 8 will be subject to a disposal fee of $2 per passenger tire, or $4 per large truck or tractor tire." Mattresses, box springs and bedding are named nowhere. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no list of what its convenience centers accept, by its own admission, so mattress acceptance is not established either way. Not confirmed: The county does not render the addresses of its ten convenience centers as a list on this page. Not confirmed: No fee is published for a mattress or any other bulky item. Not confirmed: The county restricts the centers to "rural county residents" without saying whether a resident of an incorporated city inside the county may ever use one.
- The Coffee County Recycling Center, at the rear of the Coffee County Administrative Plaza, 1329 McArthur Street, Manchester, TN 37355, takes recyclables only: "Glass (Amber, Green & Clear)", "Cardboard (must be broken down)", "Aluminum Cans", "Newspaper, Magazines & Junk Mail" and "Number 1 and Number 2 plastic with necks (no butter / yogurt containers and no motor oil containers)". It is open Wednesday 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Nothing bulky is on the list, and the county offers no collection service of its own: no bulky-item pickup, no large-item day and no voucher appears anywhere in its Rural Solid Waste or Recycling Center pages. The collection programs inside the county belong to Tullahoma and Manchester, each of which is a city matter researched on its own page. Source Not confirmed: Whether the county has ever run a free dump day or clean-up event is not published.
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

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- 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.
