2City curbside pickup in Cleburne
Cleburne’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Cleburne monthly bulk trash collection (mattresses named)
Every owner, occupant, tenant or lessee of a residence within the Cleburne city limits, under § 50.09(A) of the city code. Brush collection is limited to residential addresses and non-profit organizations; commercial tree trimmers must use the transfer station. Nothing is booked — the household's bulk week follows its regular trash day.
Conditions and source
Once a month at no cost, up to 10 cubic yards (the city describes this as about eight feet long by six feet wide by six feet tall). The city's page names the item: bulk is anything too large for the cart that cannot be broken down, "a sofa, stove, hot water heater, mattress, box springs, etc." Bulk and brush must be in separate piles or neither is taken. The set-out window is narrow and enforced: only between 5 p.m. Friday the week before and 7 a.m. Monday of the collection week; setting out at any other time costs $30 charged to the water bill under § 50.09(F), and the city may issue a citation as well. Additional collections need an out-of-cycle collection tag bought from the city. Refused: bagged items, construction debris, refrigerators, air conditioners, tires, liquids, grass clippings, and brush mixed into the bulk pile.
- $0 — Free once a month for households inside the city limits, up to 10 cubic yards of bulk and brush combined, under code § 50.09(A). The city's own bulk page names a mattress and box springs among the items collected. Bulk and brush must be in separate piles.
- $30 — $30 charged to the water bill for bulk set out at any time other than the household's window of 5 p.m. Friday the week before to 7 a.m. Monday of its collection week, under code § 50.09(F). The city may issue a citation in addition to the charge.
Not confirmed: Code § 50.10(D) lists "mattress or cushion springs" among items the Sanitation Department may refuse, while the city's bulk page names a mattress and box springs as collected; the city publishes no reconciliation of the two
Not confirmed: The price of the out-of-cycle collection tag is not published

3Drop-off options near Cleburne
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Cleburne. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Cheapest

Open to the public. City of Cleburne residents dump free once each month on presentation of the most recent paid City of Cleburne utility bill (water, sewer or garbage), limited to a standard-size vehicle load; trailers may be used. City residents without that proof, and non-residents, pay the published rates. The free dump excludes tires, construction debris, waste already collected by commercial haulers, and residents running commercial operations.
Conditions and source
2625 Pipeline Rd., open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Loads over a standard vehicle are weighed at $46.62 per ton for city residents and $70.83 per ton for non-residents with large trucks or trailers. The shredding site on the same yard takes grass and yard waste free, with free mulch on Fridays and Saturdays. Under code § 50.11(A)(2) the City Manager may declare up to 12 days a year as City Cleanup Week and waive these fees.
- $0 — Free for a City of Cleburne resident once each month on presentation of the most recent paid city utility bill (water, sewer or garbage), limited to a standard-size vehicle load; trailers may be used.

Turkey Creek Landfill self-haul drop-off (Alvarado, Johnson County)
The operator's page states the landfill serves “commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers” and sets no residency rule, no county limit and no proof-of-address requirement. There is no resident allowance, no free tonnage and no discount published for anyone. Crowley residents in neighboring Tarrant County are given two free tons a year here by their own city, but that allowance covers construction, demolition, fencing and yard waste only and is not a mattress route.
Conditions and source
9100 South I-35, Alvarado, TX 76009; 817-790-0311. Hours published by the operator as public hours: Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM, closed Sunday. The site accepts municipal solid waste, C&D debris, special waste, regulated and non-regulated asbestos-containing material and Class 1 & 2 industrial and non-industrial solid and liquid waste, so a household mattress is within what it takes. What it charges for one is not published anywhere on the page — there is no rate card, no gate rate, no per-item list and no minimum load charge, only a contact form, which we do not submit. Treat any figure quoted for this site elsewhere with suspicion: Waste Connections location pages are known to serve another site's rate card, and the widely-copied “$86.25 Mattress/Box-spring Fee” that appears on their pages under a “Travis County Landfill Rates” heading has never been confirmed as any facility's real price.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee, per-item rate, per-ton rate or minimum charge is published for this landfill. An unpublished price is not a free one and none is recorded.
Not confirmed: The published hours come from a vendor-templated operator page of a kind known to carry another site's details, and have not been confirmed against a second source specific to Turkey Creek.
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether a private vehicle may self-haul without an account, whether cash is taken at the scale, or whether a mattress is landfilled or recycled.

6Donation options in Cleburne
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 Cleburne 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: Trinity Habitat for Humanity's donation page, which governs the ReStore Johnson County branch in Cleburne. The affiliate publishes an explicit list of items it cannot accept, and "Used mattresses" is on it, alongside soiled carpet, broken windows, damaged doors, entertainment centers and armoires. The same page is more welcoming about seating: "Upholstered furniture is generally accepted. Items must be in good condition and not come from a pet/smoking household." So the nearest ReStore will take the sofa and will not take the bed — worth knowing before loading both into the same truck. Source
- Not an option: Trinity Habitat for Humanity's ReStore locations page confirms which branch serves this area: "ReStore Johnson County (Cleburne)", 1407 N. Brazos Ave., Cleburne, TX 76031, (817) 556-2613. The affiliate's other three stores are in Fort Worth (two) and Arlington. This is the ReStore a Cleburne, Joshua, Keene or Godley resident would drive to, and it is the store the affiliate's used-mattress refusal applies to. Source
What Johnson County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Cleburne and its neighbors.
- Johnson County, Texas runs no solid-waste program at all, and this is the answer rather than a missing page. The county's published site map lists every department, office and service the county maintains — Adult Probation, Auditor, Development Services, Economic Development, Elections, Extension, GIS & Mapping, Museum, Hamm Creek Park, Indigent Healthcare, Information Technology, Juvenile Services, Medical Examiner, Personnel, Purchasing, Veterans Services, the four Commissioner precincts, the courts, the Sheriff's Office, Constables and Emergency Management — and contains no entry for solid waste, refuse, recycling, a landfill, a transfer station, a convenience station, a clean-up day or a bulky-item collection. Searching the site for “waste” and for “recycl” returns nothing. The four Commissioner precinct pages carry the commissioner's name, phone, email and the precinct's road-and-bridge maintenance facility address (Precinct 1, for instance, is the Precinct 1 Maintenance Facility, 3400 FM 1434, Cleburne, Texas 76033) and nothing about waste disposal. A Johnson County resident's options are therefore whatever their own city runs and the privately operated landfill inside the county; the county itself offers no drop-off, no collection and no voucher. Source Not confirmed: County-wide tire-collection events run jointly with the City of Cleburne have been discussed in Commissioners Court, but Johnson County publishes no schedule, dates or terms for them on its own site, so nothing about them could be established from a primary source. Tires are not mattresses in any case. Not confirmed: Because the county publishes no solid-waste page, it also publishes no statement on whether unincorporated-area residents have any county-provided option. The absence of a program is established from the absence of any entry across the whole site map, not from a county statement saying so.
- Not an option: The one Habitat ReStore in Johnson County will not take a mattress, and it says so in print. Trinity Habitat for Humanity's donation page lists “Used mattresses” under the heading “Items We Don't Accept”, alongside soiled carpet, broken windows, damaged doors, partial cans of latex paint and entertainment centers. It does accept “Wood furniture (dressers, tables, etc.)” and “Upholstered furniture (good condition, not from pet/smoking household, schedule pick up or drop off at North Fort Worth or Arlington ReStore)”, and it will collect: “We provide free pick-up with a minimum donation value of $250”. The Johnson County store is “Johnson County ReStore: Address: 1407 N. Brazos Ave. Cleburne, TX 76031, Phone: 817-556-2613, Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:30 pm”. Trinity's other three stores — North Fort Worth (4433 River Oaks Blvd.), South Fort Worth (3420 S. Grove St.) and Arlington (905 W. Mayfield Rd.) — operate under the same donation policy, so driving further does not change the answer. A Johnson County resident with a mattress to give away should not load it into a car for Cleburne. Source Not confirmed: No Johnson County charity, furniture bank or shelter was found publishing a policy that accepts used mattresses. Every candidate reached through search was an aggregator or lead-generation site rather than the charity's own page, so no acceptance could be established either way.

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.
