How to get rid of a mattress in Georgetown, 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

• City of Georgetown Community Collection Events page. "City of Georgetown hosts two (2) collection events per year-April & September" at which residents can drop off items in exchange for a donation to a nominated community partner rather than a gate fee. "Mattress & Box Springs" appear on the accepted list alongside furniture, electronics, tires and scrap metal. The event listed at the time of review was September 12, 2026, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Georgetown Municipal Complex, 300-1 Industrial Ave. This is a twice-yearly, donation-based route for a Georgetown mattress that costs less than the transfer station, but it only runs on two days a year. Source Not confirmed: The page does not state a residency rule or proof-of-residency requirement in terms, and does not set a minimum or suggested donation Not confirmed: It does not say whether collected mattresses are recycled or landfilled Not confirmed: Dates for the following April event were not published at the time of review
• Not an option: Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County's ReStore, at 2108 N Austin Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626, will not take a mattress. The store's own donation page lists mattresses first in the items it cannot accept, along with headboards, bed frames, armoires, large entertainment centers, baby furniture, cribs, car seats, strollers, clothing, used area rugs, used windows, unframed glass and mirrors, electronics and large office furniture. What it does accept is appliances under ten years old, bedroom, kitchen, living-room and outdoor furniture, doors, windows, flooring, cabinets, toilets, vanities, plumbing fixtures, hardware and tools, lawn and garden items, lumber six feet or longer, blinds, fans, sinks and tubs, home decor and masonry materials. Shopping hours are Tuesday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and donations are taken Tuesday-Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. This is the nearest Habitat ReStore to Georgetown and to Hutto, so it rules the obvious local reuse option out for both. Source Not confirmed: Box springs are not named in either list, only mattresses

• 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
