How to get rid of a mattress in Commerce, 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 Commerce Limb Drop Off page: 'The City of Commerce offers Tree Limb Drop Off every 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month. Hours: 8:00AM to 12:00PM at the Waste Water Plant. Address: 4000 FM 3218 Commerce, TX. Proof of Residency is Required.' This is the only drop-off site the City of Commerce operates and it takes tree limbs only; Code § 78-4(c) describes the same site as taking 'brush and natural vegetation' at '$5.00 per load'. A mattress cannot be taken there, and the city publishes no other self-haul option of its own. Source Not confirmed: The city page states no fee while Code § 78-4(c) sets $5.00 per load for brush and natural vegetation disposal at the same site; the two are not reconciled. Not confirmed: What proof of residency is accepted is not stated.
• No mattress-specific recycler, take-back or collection program was established for Commerce. 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 no Bye Bye Mattress site for a Commerce resident. No student move-out donation or mattress collection arrangement was found published by East Texas A&M University (formerly Texas A&M University–Commerce), although the city's Code § 78-10(b)(3) records that the university hauls its own waste under an agreement with the city. Source Not confirmed: No published East Texas A&M move-out donation or mattress arrangement was found; the university's housing pages say only that belongings left behind may be treated as abandoned, so the absence is not confirmed by a statement from the university. Not confirmed: No local reuse outlet serving Commerce with a published mattress policy was established; the nearest Habitat affiliate's own site could not be reached.

• 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
