How to get rid of a mattress in Greenville, 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.

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.

• Greenville's 2023 solid waste contract with Blackjack Disposal publishes the terms and the prices the city webpage leaves out. Bulky Waste is defined as 'Stoves, refrigerators (with verification that CFC components have been removed by a certified technician), water tanks, hot water heaters, washing machines, furniture, construction debris generated from the Residential Unit only and weights more than 50 (fifty) pounds, and other waste materials other than dead animals, hazardous waste, or stable matter with weights or volumes greater than those allowed for Bins or Polycarts' - furniture is in, mattresses are not named. The weekly service: 'Contractor will collect Brush/Bulk materials one time per week. The Resident will be limited to two (2) cubic yards of material per collection.' Beyond that limit, 'When a Customer desires collection of more material than the weekly limit, the resident can request an Unusual Accumulations Collection for a fee. The fee will reflect a cost per hour for the vehicle, plus applicable disposal... such fees will be approved by the Customer prior to commencing work.' Exhibit A prices the on-demand route: 'On Demand Brushy/Bulk Waste Program will be based on: $12.00 per cubic yard.' The contract also secures four free drop-off days a year: 'Four (4) times annually the Contractor will provide sufficient rear-loading residential trucks for citizens to bring items for disposal. Citizens will have a limit of 4 cubic yards that will be allowed to be disposed. The trucks will be located at a facility approved by the City. These events shall take place on a Saturday for a six-hour period, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.', and 'There will be no fees collected or charged by Contractor for these clean-up events' - these are the Keep Greenville Beautiful Clean-Up Days. Brush bundles are capped: 'No stacks, bags, bundles or containers shall exceed fifty (50) pounds in total weight' and bundles must not exceed four feet in length. Recycling rates published in Exhibit A include $6.95 per home per month for an additional recycling cart, $65.00 for a replacement cart after the first, and a 5% discount off monthly cost for senior citizens or persons with a disability. Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named anywhere in the contract, so whether Blackjack collects one under 'furniture' or refuses it on the 50lb rule published on the city website is not established Not confirmed: No dates or locations are published for the four annual Keep Greenville Beautiful Clean-Up Days; the contract says only 'a facility approved by the City' and 'dates to be coordinated and agreed to by City' Not confirmed: The Unusual Accumulations hourly vehicle rate is not fixed in the contract - it is quoted to the customer case by case
• Nothing in Greenville recycles a mattress. The city's contract routes bulky waste to a Disposal Facility and its recycling stream is single-stream containers and paper; the city runs the Greenville-Hunt County Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which takes chemicals, not furniture. No dedicated mattress recycler, manufacturer take-back or collection site serving Greenville or Hunt County was established, and Texas has no state mattress recycling program - the Mattress Recycling Council supports programs in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island only. Source Not confirmed: Two landfills are commonly named as serving Hunt County (Maloy Landfill near Campbell and a Republic Services site), but neither publishes a mattress rate or a public gate rate on its own site, so neither meets the standard for listing Not confirmed: No local reuse or donation outlet in Greenville was established with a published mattress policy

• 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
