Polk County Landfill mattress and box spring drop-off (county residents)
Polk County residents bringing waste from their own home pay the resident rates; everyone else pays the gate rate by the ton. The county's own words: “The per-pound rate applies only to Polk County residents disposing of household waste generated at their personal residence, including large items such as furniture. This rate does not apply to construction or demolition debris”, and “Residents may be required to show a utility bill or other documentation as proof of residency.” Against that, “All commercial haulers, contractors, landlords, and others disposing of waste not generated at their own household will be charged by the ton at the full Landfill Gate Rate of $58.00 per ton.” The county draws no line between incorporated and unincorporated Polk County, so Livingston residents qualify.
Conditions and source
3574 West FM 942, Leggett, TX 77351 (the landfill also houses the Republic Services offices); 936-622-0985. Open Monday through Friday 7 am to 4 pm and Saturday 7 am to 11 am, closed Sundays, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. “Last load in the gate: 30 minutes before closing.” “No Dump Trailers on Saturdays. Hand unloads only.” Payment is cash or credit card. The landfill is the only place in Polk County that takes a mattress: the county's five Citizen Collection Stations price bulky items at $24 each and then exclude them by name, “Large/Bulky Items, $24 each (No Mattresses or Box Springs)”, so a resident with a mattress has to come here. Prices are “contractually determined by Polk County and Republic Services” and “Attendants may not discount or negotiate posted rates.”
Not confirmed: The county does not say whether the $26.46 per mattress is charged in addition to, or instead of, the $0.029 per pound household trash rate.
Not confirmed: The county does not say whether a mattress is recycled or buried.
Not confirmed: No limit is published on how many mattresses may be brought in one visit.

What Polk County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Livingston and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Polk County's five Citizen Collection Stations are closer to most residents than the Leggett landfill and they refuse the one item, by name, in the middle of the price that would otherwise cover it. The county's bulky line reads “Large/Bulky Items, $24 each (No Mattresses or Box Springs)”, next to “13 gallons or smaller, 50 cents per bag” and “Over 13 gallons, $2 per bag”, with “Cash only”. The stations are further limited by “Residential household trash only. Trailers loads must go to the Landfill.” The five stations and their published hours are: 175 Walding Road (off Highway 190 West), 7 am to 5 pm, Monday through Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday; 416 Onalaska Loop, 7 am to 5 pm, Sunday through Wednesday and Friday; 10311 Hwy 146 South, 7 am to 5 pm, Tuesday through Saturday; 253 Richardson Road, 7 am to 5 pm, Friday through Monday; and 1859 Union Springs Road, 7 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Saturday. All five are “Closed on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Christmas Eve open from 7 am to noon.” A Polk County resident with a mattress therefore cannot use the nearest county site at any price and has to drive to the landfill at 3574 West FM 942, Leggett, where the published charge is $26.46 each. Source Not confirmed: The county does not say whether the stations check residency, or whether a permit or sticker is needed.

- 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.
