Visit siteBoyd Dumpsite (Wise County) mattress drop-off
Wise County residents only, and household waste only. The county's own words: "Wise County dumpsites are for wise county resident's household trash only. No commercial trash, no dump trailers." The county does not say what proof of residency is asked for at the gate.
Conditions and source
Open Wednesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Telephone 940-433-2530. Mattresses and box springs are priced per item by size on the county's list headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)": a twin of either is $8, a full of either $10, and a queen or king of either $15, so a box spring costs the same as the mattress above it. The page also warns "NO trailer loads AFTER 5PM." The county does not say whether mattresses are recycled or landfilled.
- $8 — Per item, from the county list headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)": "Twin Mattress: $8 each" and "Twin Box Spring: $8 each". A box spring is charged the same as the mattress of that size, so a twin set costs twice this.
- $10 — Per item, from the county list headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)": "Full Mattress: $10 each" and "Full Box Spring: $10 each". A box spring is charged the same as the mattress of that size, so a full set costs twice this.
- $15 — Per item, from the county list headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)": "Queen Mattress: $15 each" and "Queen Box Spring: $15 each". A box spring is charged the same as the mattress of that size, so a queen set costs twice this.
- $15 — Per item, from the county list headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)": "King Mattress: $15 each" and "King Box Spring: $15 each". A box spring is charged the same as the mattress of that size, so a king set costs twice this.
Not confirmed: The price list is headed "Prices (Effective October 1, 2016)" and the county has published no later one, so these are its current published figures but are ten years old.
Not confirmed: The county does not say what proof of Wise County residency is required, or whether any is checked.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress taken here is recycled or landfilled is not stated, so the outcome is recorded as unknown.

Visit siteNorth Parker County Residential Disposal Center self-haul drop-off ($5.00 single item)
“PARKER COUNTY CITIZENS ONLY – ID AND PROOF OF RESIDENCY REQUIRED”. County citizens, stated once and without qualification: no precinct limit, no unincorporated-only clause, and nothing excluding a resident of an incorporated town such as Springtown, Weatherford, Azle or Reno. Trade is excluded — commercial and contractor waste is refused, and the precinct notes that “Contractors are no longer allowed at the North Parker County Residential Disposal Center” after a temporary post-tornado relaxation. “**SELF SERVE ONLY – NO ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE**”, so bring someone to help lift.
Conditions and source
3000 Veal Station Road, Weatherford, TX 76085; 817-220-7218. Open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays, with hours varying the week before and after a holiday — the county asks you to phone to confirm. A mattress is named on the price list: “SINGLE ITEM: $5.00 — EXAMPLE: SOFA, LOVE SEAT, MATTRESS ETC. (BROUGHT IN AS ONE SINGLE ITEM)”. Unlike the Tin Top Road center this one takes cash: “CASH (NO BILLS OVER $20), DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS ONLY (CARDS $2.00 FEE PER TRANSACTIONS)” — so paying cash avoids the $2.00 card fee. Free here: metal, appliances, electronics (no tube TVs), used oil (5 gallons per person per day), the first 4 tires ($2.00 each over 4), brush, and tornado damage debris. Loads rather than single items are priced by vehicle: car/SUV $10.00, van $15.00, pick-up bed level $20.00, above bed level $30.00, three-quarter trailer $30.00, trailer under 12 feet $40.00, over 12 feet $60.00, boat $40.00. Refused: commercial/contractor waste, shingles, household garbage (kitchen waste etc.), hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, combustibles, pesticides, batteries), ceramic tile or countertops — “ABSOLUTELY NO HOUSEHOLD TRASH WILL BE ACCEPTED. **THIS FACILITY IS NOT TO REPLACE YOUR REGULAR TRASH SERVICE**”.
- $5 — North Residential Disposal Center price list line: “SINGLE ITEM: $5.00 — EXAMPLE: SOFA, LOVE SEAT, MATTRESS ETC. (BROUGHT IN AS ONE SINGLE ITEM)”. Charged per item brought in as a single item; a mattress arriving as part of a load is instead charged at the per-vehicle rate, from $10.00 for a car/SUV load to $60.00 for a trailer over 12 feet.
- Plus $2 — Surcharge, avoidable here: “PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED – CASH (NO BILLS OVER $20), DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS ONLY (CARDS $2.00 FEE PER TRANSACTIONS)”. The $2.00 applies once per card transaction only; paying cash at this site avoids it.
Not confirmed: The flyer does not say whether a mattress and box spring count as one single item or two.
Not confirmed: Nothing states whether mattresses are recycled or landfilled.
Not confirmed: The price list's effective date is given only as “NEW PRICING TO GO INTO AFFECT MAY 1ST 2025” on the precinct page, with the flyer file dated June 2026.

Visit siteParker County Convenience Center self-haul drop-off (Tin Top Road, $5.00 single bulk item)
Parker County residents, with proof: “*PROOF OF RESIDENCE REQUIRED*”. The county's page describes the site both as being “for Residents of PARKER COUNTY” and “⇨PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY⇦” and, lower on the same page, as “for residents in PCT 3 & 4”, without reconciling the two. There is no unincorporated-only clause anywhere: nothing excludes a resident of Weatherford, Willow Park, Aledo, Hudson Oaks or Springtown for living inside a city. The only person named as excluded is a “non-resident of Parker County”, along with “Any waste from a business, commercial contractor”. The facility “IS NOT LICENSED TO ACCEPT COMMERCIAL OR HAZARDOUS WASTE”.
Conditions and source
2833 Tin Top Rd., Weatherford, TX 76087; 682-239-2599. Open Monday through Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm, closed Saturday, Sunday and during inclement weather. A mattress is named on the county's own Facility Price List: “Single Bulk Item — Sofa, Mattress, TV, Computer, ETC. — $5.00”. Payment is card only — “CREDIT & DEBIT CARDS ONLY- $2.00 FEE PER USE *NO CASH ACCEPTED*” — so one mattress costs $5.00 plus the $2.00 card fee. Bringing a load rather than a single item is priced by vehicle instead: passenger car trunk load $10.00, SUV or passenger van $15.00, pick-up bed level $20.00, above bed level $30.00, trailer under 12 feet $40.00, over 12 feet $60.00. The center is emphatically not a dump: refused are household trash (“you should have a local waste disposal company for that service”), paint and paint cans, burn barrels, gas/diesel/propane or flammables, household chemicals, sealed drums, medical or bio-hazard waste, shingles, ceramic tile, countertops, ceramic toilets or bathtubs, and concrete. Brush stopped being accepted on March 27, 2026. The $130.00 household-chemical voucher the county sells is for the City of Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center at 6400 Bridge Street, whose own flyer refuses “Bulk Trash & Yard Waste”, so it is no route for a mattress.
- $5 — Parker County Convenience Center Facility Price List line: “Single Bulk Item — Sofa, Mattress, TV, Computer, ETC. — $5.00” (sheet marked “Last Updated:11/14/2024”). Charged per item brought in as a single item; a mattress arriving as part of a load is instead charged at the bulk-load rate for the vehicle, from $10.00 for a car trunk load to $60.00 for a trailer over 12 feet.
- Plus $2 — Surcharge, unavoidable at this site: “FEE SCHEDULE- CREDIT & DEBIT CARDS ONLY- $2.00 FEE PER USE *NO CASH ACCEPTED*”. Charged once per visit on top of the item price, because the Tin Top Road center takes no cash.
Not confirmed: The page states both “PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY” and “for residents in PCT 3 & 4” and does not reconcile them, so a resident of Precinct 1 or 2 cannot tell from the page whether they will be turned away here rather than sent to the Veal Station Road site.
Not confirmed: The price list does not say whether a mattress and box spring count as one single bulk item or two.
Not confirmed: The price list is dated 11/14/2024 while the page around it carries a March 2026 change.
Not confirmed: Nothing states whether mattresses are recycled or landfilled.

Visit siteTurkey 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.

- 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.
