How to get rid of a mattress in Burkburnett, TX.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

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

• The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source
• 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 we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Not an option: City of Burkburnett Chipper Service page: 'The City offers a special pick-up of tree trimmings for a fee of $85 for 60 minutes and $55 per each additional half hour. Trimmings with a diameter of 5 inches or less may be up to 12 feet long. Trimmings with a diameter over 5 inches must not weigh over 50 pounds. Tree trimming pickups are done on Fridays, we request that you make arrangements by Thursday afternoon by 4 pm. Call our office at 569-2263 to arrange for them to be picked up.' This is the city's own crew and it collects tree trimmings only — it is not a bulky-waste service and a mattress cannot be put out for it. Source Not confirmed: The chipper fee on this page differs from the brush, shrub and tree trimming rate published on the city's Garbage Rates page ($25 for 30 minutes, $10 each additional hour, Ordinance 989); the city has not reconciled the two.
• Burkburnett Code of Ordinances § 50.04 'Placement for collection' sets the set-out rule: where the premises adjoin an alley the occupier 'shall be required to keep the garbage container within his private property until the day of or the evening before, the day of collection', and where alley service is not available the container is kept 'at a point behind the building line' until the day of (or the evening before under unavoidable conditions) collection; containers are then placed adjacent to the alley, or 'adjacent to the front curb line' where there is no alley service, or on the property line where there is no curb. '(C) No metal or plastic cans or barrels will be allowed at pickup points. Sacks must set freely either on the ground or upon a rack so that no sacks will be in a bind on lifting.' § 50.03 limits containers to 30 gallons and requires lids. Violations carry the § 50.99 penalty of a fine of not less than $150 and not more than $500, each day a separate offense. Source Not confirmed: Chapter 50 contains no bulky-item provision at all: nothing in the code governs the bulk pickup the Garbage Rates page tells residents to book at 877-592-5030, and mattresses appear nowhere in the chapter.
• Habitat for Humanity of Wichita Falls, the nearest ReStore to Burkburnett, publishes a one-page 'Donation Guidelines' sheet listing exactly what it takes, item by item with a condition against each: air conditioners, appliances (working, less than 10 years old), blinds, cabinets, counter tops, doors, door knobs, faucets, furnaces, furniture (in good condition), home decor, light fixtures, mirrors (only in frames), paint (latex only), sheet goods, sinks, tile, toilets, tools, trim, tubs and windows. The sheet gives the store as 902 13th St., Wichita Falls, TX and the number as 940.767.7113. Mattresses and box springs appear nowhere on the accepted list. Source Not confirmed: The guidelines list what is accepted and publish no list of refused items, so the absence of mattresses cannot be reported as an explicit refusal.
• No mattress-specific recycler, take-back or collection program was established for Burkburnett. The Mattress Recycling Council's own site states it is 'Operating Statewide in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island', so Texas has no state-run or industry-run mattress recycling program and there is no Bye Bye Mattress site for a Burkburnett resident. Nothing on the city's own pages or in its Code of Ordinances names mattress recycling. Source Not confirmed: This establishes the absence of a state or industry program, not the absence of any private dismantler in the Wichita Falls area; none with a published address and published terms was found.

• Current homepage says drop-off is coming soon, whereas existing MRC card 42 lists commercial drop-off at 1915 Kramer Ln and open 24 hours. Do not rely on that old drop-off listing as current. Homepage offers indoor/curb pickup and states reuse, then recycling, then landfill as its routing preference. Source
• Operator lists Austin yard at 6546 Burnet Road, Austin TX 78757 and Manor yard at 20301 Hog Eye Rd, Manor TX 78653. Earlier national65 Duke’s listing uses 1602 Bench Mark Dr.; no move or branch-equivalence statement found. Preserve all addresses separately. Source
• No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on TCEQ pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
• TCEQ's Take Care of Texas (Mar 4, 2025) notes many mattress retailers offer pickup of old mattresses on new-mattress delivery, organizations such as Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity may accept good-condition mattresses, and many cities/haulers offer bulk pickup or collection events. Source
