Highland Park bulky waste collection — Wednesday Front Collection and the code's twice-weekly run (Town Sanitation Department)
Every residential customer of the Town of Highland Park, Texas — the Dallas County enclave, not the Illinois city. "The Sanitation Department of the Town shall be the exclusive provider of solid waste, recycling, and landscape waste collection for residential and commercial customers in the Town" (§ 13.05.007), so the Town's own crews do the work. Nothing is booked for the scheduled run. The code provides bulky waste collection "to its residential customers twice weekly" (§ 13.05.015(a)(1)), while the Town's published pages present it as the Wednesday Front Collection: "Wednesday Front Collection is available for trash or rubbish, and bulk items that are over 35 pounds or cannot be placed in the poly cart." Garbage is collected twice every week, recycling weekly on Wednesday, and brush twice each week. Off-schedule removals go through a special paid collection "scheduled in advance and... coordinated through the Sanitation Department" (§ 13.05.015(b)(2)).
Conditions and source
Bulky waste "shall be placed on the parkway in a manageable pile for collection" — a manageable pile being one "stacked on the parkway in an organized manner, and which is safe for a two-person crew to move by hand from the staging point into the rear of a collection vehicle." The Wednesday Front Collection covers "Landscape waste, light trash/rubbish collection, and large bulky items", listing bagged landscape waste at no more than 35 pounds a bag, tree trimmings bundled to no more than three feet and 35 pounds, light trash that will not fit in the poly cart, and furniture and household appliances. Set-out: items must be out by 7:00 a.m., and under § 13.05.017 failure to place bulky waste at its proper collection point by 7:30 a.m. on the specified day "may result in the items not being collected." The one per-item charge in the code is for appliances, not for other bulky waste: "An environmental fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) will be charged for each appliance scheduled for collection and disposal", added to the utility bill, to cover verifying refrigerant removal. Large amounts of contractor-generated construction and demolition debris are not eligible for bulky waste collection and must be scheduled as a special paid collection. Carts holding more than 200 pounds are not serviced. Dumping solid waste on any street, sidewalk, alley, easement, park or private property is unlawful (§ 13.05.005) and a violation is a misdemeanor with every day a separate offense (§ 13.05.003). Neither the Town's pages nor its solid waste article names a mattress.
Not confirmed: Neither the Wednesday Front Collection page nor the solid waste article names a mattress, so whether the Town's crews take one is not established in its own words
Not confirmed: The Town publishes no price for the special paid collection and no residential sanitation rate, and the code does not state that the scheduled bulky run is free, so no price is recorded
Not confirmed: The code says bulky waste is collected twice weekly while the Town's pages present a single Wednesday front collection; the Town does not reconcile the two

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Highland Park itself says
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: The Town of Highland Park publishes no drop-off of its own. Its sanitation pages carry twice-weekly garbage, weekly recycling, twice-weekly brush, the Wednesday Front Collection and a household hazardous waste route run by Dallas County under an interlocal agreement — but no town yard, transfer station, convenience center, residents' drop-off day or free dump day where a Highland Park resident could take a mattress themselves, and no landfill is named or priced. Source
- Not an option: Nothing mattress-specific is published for Highland Park, Texas. The town's own sanitation pages publish weekly single-stream recycling and the Dallas County household hazardous waste program, and name no mattress recycler, no take-back program and no mattress drop-off. Texas has no statewide mattress recycling program; the Mattress Recycling Council's Bye Bye Mattress operates only in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island. (This is Highland Park, Texas, place:4833824, in Dallas County — not the Illinois city of the same name.) Source
What Dallas County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Highland Park and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Goodwill Dallas & North Texas donation guidelines list 'Mattresses and box springs' first among the items the organization cannot accept, alongside hazardous materials, large appliances, weapons and broken, soiled or unsafe items. This rules out Goodwill donation centers as a mattress option for Dallas County residents including Irving and Garland. Source Not confirmed: Page does not state which counties or cities the organization's donation centers serve
