Cheapest
Texas Disposal Systems Bee Cave drop-off (per-mattress surcharge)
Texas Disposal Systems publishes one public gate-rate card for this site and sets no residency requirement, no proof-of-address rule and no resident/non-resident price split on it. Its only user distinction is between “Recycling (Residential) $5.00/cubic yard (minimum)” and “Recycling (Commercial) $15.00/cubic yard (minimum)”, which prices commercial loads rather than barring anyone. Nothing on the card restricts it to Bee Cave addresses. The card does not, however, state in its own words who may use the site.
Conditions and source
4001 Ranch Road 620 South, Bee Cave, TX 78738. Trash is priced by volume — “Household Trash $40.00/cubic yard (minimum $20.00)” — and a mattress carries a separate per-item surcharge on top, under “Additional Surcharge Fees”: “Mattresses $40.00/each”, “Box Springs $40.00/each”, “Sofa/Couch $40.00/each”, “Sofa Sleeper $80.00/each”. “Unsecured Load $25.00 fee”. “Sales tax applies to all services.” TDS also asks that “your truck or trailer [be] covered and properly secured with tie-downs before entering TDS facilities”, with tarps, nets or blankets and bungee cords, ratchet ties, chains or rope.
- $20 — “Household Trash $40.00/cubic yard (minimum $20.00)” at Bee Cave — the minimum load charge the per-mattress surcharge sits on top of.
- Plus $40 — “Additional Surcharge Fees — Mattresses $40.00/each” on Texas Disposal Systems' published gate rates for its Bee Cave site, charged per mattress on top of the load rate.
- Plus $40 — “Additional Surcharge Fees — Box Springs $40.00/each” at the Bee Cave site, charged per box spring in addition to the mattress.
Not confirmed: TDS publishes no opening hours for the Bee Cave site on its gate-rates page.
Not confirmed: The rate card does not state who may use the site, so open public access is published only by implication of a public gate rate.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress left here is landfilled or recycled is not stated.

Visit siteTexas Disposal Systems Landfill citizens drop-off
General public. The rate card headed "Citizens Drop off rates" prices "General public loads, Car/Pick-up/SUV" and publishes no residency rule, no account requirement and no stated service area. The site is in Travis County, about 25 miles south of Pflugerville.
Conditions and source
Open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes first, Monday through Saturday; closed Sunday. A car, pick-up or SUV load starts at the $66.00 citizens minimum and adds $12.00 per cubic yard over 5.5 yards, plus a per-item surcharge for each mattress, sofa, recliner or coiled box spring. Loads of 6-12 cubic yards pay a further $50.00 for use of the citizens drop-off station and 13-25 cubic yards a further $100.00. An unsecured load costs $35.00, though pick-up trucks are given a free tarp. On top of the gate price the card publishes a TCEQ state fee of $0.94/ton, a monthly fuel surcharge, an environmental charge of $30.00 per large load or $16.00 per small load, a regulatory cost recovery charge of 3.6% and a waste water management charge of 14.5%; sales tax may apply.

Loads of 6-12 cubic yards pay a further $50.00 for use of the citizens drop-off station and 13-25 cubic yards a further $100.00.

What Leander 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: City of Leander Residential Fall Cleanup event page: the city's own free drop-off day, Saturday, October 3, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon, at City of Leander Public Works, 607 Municipal Drive, Leander, TX 78641, open to residents inside the Leander city limits only on presentation of a City of Leander utility bill and a Texas-issued ID showing the same physical address. Accepted in residential quantities: appliances with Freon professionally removed, automobile batteries, motor oil, on-site paper shredding, cardboard, scrap metals, vehicle tires up to 20 inches (maximum four, no rims), furniture, lumber and e-waste. 'Mattresses or box springs' are listed explicitly under items Not Accepted, alongside brush, chemicals and pesticides, fencing and construction debris, Freon, gas and propane cylinders, glass, industrial and commercial waste, and paint. No trailers longer than 12 feet, no cargo vans, no box trucks. The city's spring cleanup page for April 11, 2026 lists mattresses and box springs as not accepted on the same terms. Leander's city-run drop-off day is therefore not an option for a mattress. Source

- 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.
