Texas Disposal Systems Bee Cave drop-off (per-mattress surcharge)
Texas Disposal Systems publishes one public gate-rate card for this site and sets no residency requirement, no proof-of-address rule and no resident/non-resident price split on it. Its only user distinction is between “Recycling (Residential) $5.00/cubic yard (minimum)” and “Recycling (Commercial) $15.00/cubic yard (minimum)”, which prices commercial loads rather than barring anyone. Nothing on the card restricts it to Bee Cave addresses. The card does not, however, state in its own words who may use the site.
Conditions and source
4001 Ranch Road 620 South, Bee Cave, TX 78738. Trash is priced by volume — “Household Trash $40.00/cubic yard (minimum $20.00)” — and a mattress carries a separate per-item surcharge on top, under “Additional Surcharge Fees”: “Mattresses $40.00/each”, “Box Springs $40.00/each”, “Sofa/Couch $40.00/each”, “Sofa Sleeper $80.00/each”. “Unsecured Load $25.00 fee”. “Sales tax applies to all services.” TDS also asks that “your truck or trailer [be] covered and properly secured with tie-downs before entering TDS facilities”, with tarps, nets or blankets and bungee cords, ratchet ties, chains or rope.
- $20 — “Household Trash $40.00/cubic yard (minimum $20.00)” at Bee Cave — the minimum load charge the per-mattress surcharge sits on top of.
- Plus $40 — “Additional Surcharge Fees — Mattresses $40.00/each” on Texas Disposal Systems' published gate rates for its Bee Cave site, charged per mattress on top of the load rate.
- Plus $40 — “Additional Surcharge Fees — Box Springs $40.00/each” at the Bee Cave site, charged per box spring in addition to the mattress.
Not confirmed: TDS publishes no opening hours for the Bee Cave site on its gate-rates page.
Not confirmed: The rate card does not state who may use the site, so open public access is published only by implication of a public gate rate.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress left here is landfilled or recycled is not stated.

Visit siteTexas Disposal Systems Landfill citizens drop-off
General public. The rate card headed "Citizens Drop off rates" prices "General public loads, Car/Pick-up/SUV" and publishes no residency rule, no account requirement and no stated service area. The site is in Travis County, about 25 miles south of Pflugerville.
Conditions and source
Open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes first, Monday through Saturday; closed Sunday. A car, pick-up or SUV load starts at the $66.00 citizens minimum and adds $12.00 per cubic yard over 5.5 yards, plus a per-item surcharge for each mattress, sofa, recliner or coiled box spring. Loads of 6-12 cubic yards pay a further $50.00 for use of the citizens drop-off station and 13-25 cubic yards a further $100.00. An unsecured load costs $35.00, though pick-up trucks are given a free tarp. On top of the gate price the card publishes a TCEQ state fee of $0.94/ton, a monthly fuel surcharge, an environmental charge of $30.00 per large load or $16.00 per small load, a regulatory cost recovery charge of 3.6% and a waste water management charge of 14.5%; sales tax may apply.
- $25 — "Miscellaneous Fees: Mattresses, sofas, recliners (all) $25.00 each" on Texas Disposal Systems' published gate rates for its Travis County landfill at Creedmoor. Charged on top of the citizens drop-off minimum, plus the environmental charge, fuel surcharge, RCR 3.6% and WWM 14.5% the card lists for landfilled loads.
- $25 — "Box springs (with coils) $25.00 each" on Texas Disposal Systems' published gate rates for its Travis County landfill at Creedmoor.
- $66 — "Citizens Drop off rates: General public loads, Car/Pick-up/SUV $66.00 minimum + 12.00 per yd over 5.5 yds + fees & charges" at the Texas Disposal Systems landfill, 3016 FM 1327, Creedmoor. Loads of 6-12 cubic yards pay a further $50.00 for use of the citizens drop-off station and 13-25 cubic yards a further $100.00.
Not confirmed: The page publishes no service area, so coverage of Pflugerville rests on the absence of any residency restriction rather than on a statement
Not confirmed: No worked total for a one-mattress car load is published once the percentage charges are applied
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether mattresses are recycled or landfilled

Visit siteHays County Citizens Collection Driftwood mattress drop-off
Hays County's own words, and they pull in two directions. The Recycling & Solid Waste page says the “facilities offer drop-off locations for rural residents who do not have waste or recycling services at their home” and that “Hays County does not offer trash pick-up services.” The fee schedule for the same two sites is headed “Hays County Recycling & Solid Waste Centers — Serving Hays County Residents” and sets no resident/non-resident split and no proof-of-address rule. Neither page confines the stations to unincorporated Hays County, and neither says a household with curbside collection is turned away. Separately, and worded unambiguously, the county's household hazardous waste facility at 634 East Hopkins Street in San Marcos “is open to all Hays County residents”, and the annual Solid Waste Collection Event is “free to all Hays County residents” with “a valid drivers license or utility bill” checked at the gate.
Conditions and source
20290 FM 150 West, Driftwood. Open “Tuesday through Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm”; “Facilities are closed Sunday, Monday, and official county holidays.” Facility rules as published: “Unload by 4:00 PM”, “Large loads before 3:30 PM”, “Check in with attendant”, “Sort before unloading”. “Payment Accepted: Cash • Check • Credit Card”. The mattress price is flat by item and does not vary by size: “Mattresses (Twin) $30 each” through “Mattresses (King) $30 each” and “Box Springs (Twin-King) $30 each”, under a column headed “Disposal Fee as of 10/1/2026”. General household trash at the same sites is “$18 CY ($3 min)”. Household hazardous waste is not taken here and must go to 634 East Hopkins Street, San Marcos.
- $3 — The household-trash minimum at the same counter, “Household Trash (per CY/min) $18 CY ($3 min)”. The schedule does not say whether this minimum is charged on top of a per-item mattress fee.
- $30 — Hays County fee schedule, column “Disposal Fee as of 10/1/2026”: “Mattresses (Twin) $30 each”, “Mattresses (Full) $30 each”, “Mattresses (Queen) $30 each”, “Mattresses (King) $30 each” — one price per mattress at either county station whatever the size.
- $30 — Hays County fee schedule line “Box Springs (Twin-King) $30 each”, charged per box spring in addition to the mattress.
Not confirmed: Whether a resident of an incorporated Hays County city with curbside service may use the two collection stations is not resolved: the county calls them drop-offs for rural residents without home service, while the fee schedule for the same sites says “Serving Hays County Residents”.
Not confirmed: The county does not publish whether a mattress dropped here is landfilled or recycled.
Not confirmed: No proof-of-residency procedure is published for the two stations.

Bastrop County Transfer Station mattress and box spring drop-off ($20 each)
The county publishes no residency or proof-of-address requirement. The fee schedule adopted by the Bastrop County Commissioners Court on September 14, 2026 is stated for all users, with no resident and non-resident rates.
The last date published for this was Sep 14, 2026, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
601 Cool Water Drive, Bastrop, Texas 78602, (512) 549-5166, open Tuesday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Under "Specific Household Items" the county prices "Mattresses, Box Springs, Couches, Love Seats, and Recliners" at $20 each, the same rate as appliances other than refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. Loads priced by the vehicle instead run $50 for a short-bed pick-up truck to the top of the bed and $65 for a long bed, and trailers from $120 to $560 by length and side height. Bagged household garbage is $5 each up to 40 gallons and $10 each above it. The station does not accept oil or oil filters, paints of any type, concrete, bricks, rocks or masonry units, brush, chemicals, or batteries.
Not confirmed: The county does not say whether a mattress is landfilled or recycled.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published, so it is not established whether a non-resident pays the same $20.

6Donation options in Austin
Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

- Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source
Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.
What Austin itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Not an option: Austin's Recycle and Reuse Center (Austin Resource Recovery) does not accept mattresses: the page's list of items the center does not accept includes 'Mattresses'. Use of the facility is otherwise free for Austin and Travis County residents (fees apply for non-residents; tires are $6 each) and requires an appointment made through the Austin Recycles app or online. Source
What Travis County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Austin and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Travis County runs exactly one public drop-off of its own, and it will not take a mattress. The county's Recycling and Disposal page lists the “Travis County 1431 Citizens Collection Center” at “2625 Woodall Dr Cedar Park, TX 78613”, phone 512-998-3781, open “8:00 am-3:50 pm Thursday-Saturday (Closed Sunday-Wednesday)”, at a cost of “$4.33 (tax included) per cubic yard (roughly the size of a pick-up bed). Cash or check only (credit cards are not accepted)”. Under “Materials Accepted” it says “Household Trash Only”. Under “Materials Not Accepted” it lists “Business/commercial waste”, “Household hazardous waste”, “Recycling”, “Appliances”, “Large furniture”, “Mattresses”, “Organic waste” (“This includes animal carcasses and brush/woody debris”) and “Tires”. The page sends anyone with one of those items to the county's own drop-off locator at https://recycle.traviscountytx.gov/. Elsewhere on the same page the county prints the site's address as “1431 Collection Station 2625 Woodall Dr Leander, TX 78613” in its Christmas-tree list, so the county itself gives the town as Cedar Park in one place and Leander in the other for the same street address. Source Not confirmed: The county page sets no residency test for the 1431 Citizens Collection Center, so who may use it is not established. Not confirmed: Travis County publishes no alternative county drop-off that does take a mattress.
- Not an option: The one free drop-off open county-wide will not take a mattress. Austin Resource Recovery's Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center states that “Use of the facility is free for Austin and Travis County residents”, with fees for non-residents, and that an appointment is required. It takes household hazardous waste, electronics, appliances, recyclables and tires (tires at $6 per tire), and its own page states that the Recycle and Reuse Center does not accept furniture or mattresses. So the free Austin/Travis County option covers almost everything except the item this page exists for. Source Not confirmed: The center's street address and opening hours are not printed on this page; Travis County's own page gives the site as 2514 Business Center Drive, Austin 78744.
- Travis County has run at least one free bulky clean-up day at which mattresses were accepted, in the southeast of the county. The county's notice reads “Calling all of our Mustang Ridge and Creedmoor neighbors! Let's roll up our sleeves for Earth Month and spruce up our towns”, and gives “Saturday April 27, 2024 9 am – 1 pm” at “5008 Hartung Lane Creedmoor, Texas, 78610”. Eligibility is residents of Creedmoor, Mustang Ridge or surrounding southeast Travis County areas, who must “bring proof of residence (i.e., state ID, utility bill, etc.)”. The accepted list names appliances, furniture, scrap metal, lumber, “Mattresses” and flat-screen TVs; paint, tires, hazardous items, motor oil, gasoline and old-style televisions are not accepted. “This event is free for eligible residents.” The date has passed, and the county does not publish a standing schedule for repeats. Source Not confirmed: No later Travis County bulky clean-up day is published, so whether this is an annual event is not established. Not confirmed: The notice does not set a per-household limit on what may be brought.
- Not an option: The obvious reuse outlet across Travis County refuses mattresses outright. Austin Habitat for Humanity's ReStore donation guidelines list “Used mattresses and box springs” among the items not accepted, under the Furniture heading; linens are accepted under Home Goods, but the mattress itself is not. The refusal covers all three ReStores: South Austin, “500 W Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704”, (512) 478-2165, “Mon – Sat: 9am – 8pm, Sunday: 11am – 6pm” with donation doors closing thirty minutes before the store; Northwest Austin, “13804 N US-183, Austin, TX 78750”, (512) 367-5795, “Mon – Sat: 10am – 7pm, Sunday: 11am – 6pm”; and San Marcos, “2521 S Interstate 35, San Marcos, TX 78666”, (512) 738-8383, “Mon – Sat: 10am – 6pm, Sunday: 11am – 6pm”. Their donation-pickup service is offered but its geographic boundary is not published. Source Not confirmed: No Travis County furniture bank or shelter with a published policy of accepting used mattresses could be established from a primary source.
- Travis County publishes no bulky-item or mattress collection of its own. The Transportation & Natural Resources “Recycling and Disposal” page — the county's own solid-waste page — carries only four programs: household hazardous waste (taken at the City of Austin's facility, “2514 Business Center Drive Austin 78744”, where “The City of Austin Recycle & Reuse Drop-off center is open to City of Austin and Travis County residents to safely dispose hazardous waste” and “The facility will dispose of up to 30 gallons of hazardous waste generated in the home free of charge”); the 1431 Citizens Collection Center; prescription take-back kiosks; and free Christmas tree recycling at five county sites from December 26 to January 11, where “There is no charge for Travis County residents to drop off their trees.” No curbside or on-call collection of any kind is offered, and the county instead points residents at its drop-off locator for “paint, furniture, tires, electronics, construction debris, and other materials”. Source Not confirmed: Whether any Travis County precinct or emergency services district arranges bulky collection for unincorporated areas is not stated on the county's pages.
