• Frontier Waste Solutions' own City of Mansfield page. "Trash will be collected TWICE WEEKLY on your designated service day!" and "Recycle with be collected ONCE WEEKLY on your designated service day!" Set-out: "Carts should be placed at the street, no later than, 7:00am." Bulk allowance: "Limit of two (2) cubic yard maximum bulk waste (approximately the size of 2 carts stacked together)". Acceptable bulky waste is listed as "Small furniture, mattresses", with "Brush tied in bundles" also accepted. Frontier publishes no separate price for bulk waste collection and says the new recycling carts were delivered at no additional cost. Source Not confirmed: Frontier's Mansfield page states a two cubic yard bulk limit while the city's own Trash Collection page states one cubic yard on a regular collection day and the city code says the contractor is not expected to remove more than one cubic yard per collection day; which figure governs a mattress is not resolved by any published source

• Not an option: Mansfield Mission Center Thrift Store, 703 E. Broad St., Mansfield TX 76063, open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The center accepts "gently used household items, accessories, clothing, toys, furniture, and electronics" but states it cannot accept "Old mattresses, sleeper sofas, paint or other flammables, drop-side cribs or non-digital TVs." It is also "no longer able to pick up donations for the thrift store", so donations must be dropped off. Mansfield's own local charity shop will therefore not take a bed. Source

Homepage offers indoor/curb pickup and states reuse, then recycling, then landfill as its routing preference. Source
