What Burnet itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- City of Burnet, announced change of solid waste provider, quoted from the city's solid waste page: "IMPORTANT UPDATE: CHUNK YOUR JUNK IS CHANGING! Beginning November 1st, 2026 the City of Burnet will have a new solid waste provider, Texas Disposal Systems (TDS). TDS will provide weekly curbside bulky waste and brush collection as part of regular residential trash service. This means residents will no longer have to wait for a monthly Chunk Your Junk event. Instead, smaller amounts of bulky waste and brush can be placed at the curb for weekly collection. Since TDS will be providing the weekly curbside service, there will be no Chunk Your Junk events after October. The September 12th and October 3rd events will be the final Chunk Your Junk events. The City will also be introducing Bring Your Brush events throughout the year for residents who have larger amounts of brush beginning January 2027. More information about the transition to TDS, weekly bulky waste and brush collection, and the new Bring Your Brush events will be sent out soon!" Source Not confirmed: The city has not yet published the terms of the TDS weekly bulky collection - no allowance, no size limit, no booking method, no fee, and no statement of whether a mattress is accepted. Not confirmed: It is not stated whether the existing monthly bulky pickup that names mattresses and box springs survives the change on November 1, 2026.
What Burnet County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Burnet and its neighbors.
- Burnet County publishes no county drop-off of its own for household waste. The Development Services page is where the county puts solid waste, and it carries three things: the Order Prohibiting Solid Waste Disposal and Processing Facilities; illegal-dumping reporting, “1-877-No Dumps (877-663-8677)” and a local number, 512-756-8080; and one recycling outlet, “Hill Country Recycle, 2000 2nd Street, Marble Falls, TX”, 830-693-3667, open “Monday-Friday, 8 am-noon and 1 pm-5 pm”, taking “paper, cardboard, plastic (Numbers 1-2 only)” — which is not an answer for a mattress. There is no county landfill, transfer station, convenience center, collection service or voucher listed anywhere on the county's pages. Source Not confirmed: The county names no facility that accepts a mattress; the WM-run transfer station at 2411 FM 963 in Burnet publishes no gate rates, so its mattress fee and whether it is open to the public are both unestablished. Not confirmed: No county-wide donation outlet accepting used mattresses could be established for Burnet County from a primary source.
- Not an option: Burnet County's only county-run collection day does not take mattresses or furniture. The “BURNET COUNTY HHW EVENT — Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event” is set for “October 10th, 2026, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM” at the “Burnet County Reuse and Recycle Center”, “2411 FM 963 (2 miles E of 281), Burnet, TX 78611”, and is banner-marked “RESIDENTIAL ITEMS ONLY! NO INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL OR BUSINESS WASTE”. The accepted list is chemicals and hard goods only: “Automobile tires: 24" or less, no rims (First 10 tires free, $3 per tire after)”, lead-acid and rechargeable batteries, cell phones and telephones, computer components, “Televisions (no wooden consoles)”, used motor oil and filters, latex paint, petroleum-based paints, antifreeze, household hazardous chemicals, compressed gas cylinders, “Fluorescent lamp bulbs (NO compact fluorescent bulbs)”, transmission and brake fluid, pool chemicals, lawn and garden chemicals, and “Scrap metal (NO lawnmowers or appliances)”. The prohibited list ends with “Appliances”. Mattresses and furniture appear on neither list, and nothing on the flyer offers a route for them. The event is run with the cities of Burnet, Bertram, Marble Falls, Meadowlakes, Cottonwood Shores, Granite Shoals, Highland Haven and Horseshoe Bay. Source Not confirmed: The flyer does not state a residency check or proof-of-address requirement. Not confirmed: Burnet County publishes no event or facility of its own that accepts a mattress.
- Burnet County has banned solid-waste disposal outright everywhere it has the power to, which is why there is no county tip. Its “Order Prohibiting Solid Waste Disposal and Processing Facilities”, “Read and adopted this 9th day of January, 2018, by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays” and signed by County Judge James Oakley, states at Section 5: “It is Ordained and Ordered that the disposal and/or processing of municipal solid waste and industrial solid waste is Prohibited within all unincorporated areas of Burnet County, Texas.” Section 3 limits it: “This Order does not apply to: A. Areas inside the corporate limits or ETJ of any municipality”, nor to areas with a pending or already-issued TCEQ solid waste permit, nor to certain on-site industrial disposal. The penalties are real: “Any violation of this order is subject to a civil penalty of $10,000.00 for each violation”, each day a separate ground for recovery, and “Disposal of solid waste in violation of this order constitutes a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00”, each day a separate offense. The order takes “Disposal” in the Health & Safety Code sense — “the discharging, depositing, injecting, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of solid waste … into or on land or water” — so burying or dumping a mattress on rural Burnet County land is what the order is aimed at. Source Not confirmed: The order regulates disposal and processing sites; it does not itself say where a Burnet County household should take a mattress instead.

- 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.
