How to get rid of a mattress in Farmersville, 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.

• Not an option: The one place in Farmersville a resident can take waste themselves is a volunteer-run recycling center that takes no furniture at all, so it is worth knowing about only to rule it out for a mattress. "Drop-Off Recycle Center on South Johnson Street. The drop-off Recycling Center is run by volunteers. Hours: Open every Saturday from 8:00am to 11:00am. Location: City Maintenance Lot on South Johnson Street & Santa Fe Street." What it takes is published in full: "Newspapers - no wet ones or yellowed with sun or age; White bond paper, Computer paper; #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #7 plastic - rinsed clean, lids removed; Aluminum cans - rinsed and crushed; Glass jars or bottles - lids removed, rinsed clean; Steel/tin cans - labels removed, rinsed clean; Corrugated cardboard - opened up and flattened. This does include paper board such as cereal boxes, detergent boxes, cold drink boxes, etc." Residents are asked to "Keep all items separated", the center is open to "All citizens living in and near Farmersville", and "The Recycling Center does not offer curb-side pickup." Closed dates and weather closures are posted on the City Events & Calendar. Source Not confirmed: The center publishes an accepted list of paper, plastic, glass and metal containers only; furniture and mattresses are not on it and no refusal is stated in those words Not confirmed: No fee and no residency proof are published Not confirmed: No city landfill or transfer station of any kind is published for Farmersville
• Not an option: Habitat Collin County ReStore in McKinney collects donations free across Collin County — "We offer a free pick up service for residents living in our service area and for items that you cannot transport yourself" — but the Mattresses and Box spring entries in its own pickup item list are refusals carrying the message "We do NOT accept box springs or mattresses", and the Bedroom set entry warns "We do not accept mattresses or box springs". Futons are refused separately: "We do NOT accept futons or futon mattresses". So a Farmersville mattress cannot be donated to the county ReStore in McKinney or collected on its free Collin County pickup. Source Not confirmed: The ReStore takes the rest of a bedroom set, so the refusal is specific to the mattress and box spring Not confirmed: No alternative local charity accepting a used mattress was confirmed from a primary page

• 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
