2City curbside pickup in Rowlett
Rowlett’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Rowlett weekly brush and bulk collection
Rowlett residential solid waste customers, on their regular weekly solid waste pickup day. Up to 2 cubic yards a week of brush and bulk is included; the city's FAQ gives the residential charge as $20.36 a month for one trash and one recycling polycart, with each extra cart $10.18. Collection is by Republic Services under contract to the city.
Conditions and source
Material must be neatly stacked and set out at the front of the property by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day - there are no alley pickups. Up to 2 cubic yards a week is included, which the city likens to a washer and dryer; anything above that is charged at $12.00 per cubic yard. Brush and bulk are separate defined streams: brush is plant material and yard waste from property maintenance and excludes loose soil, sod, food waste, plastics and lumber; bulky waste is a large appliance, piece of furniture or waste material from a residence and excludes contractor debris and hazardous waste. Accepted: major household appliances other than refrigerators and freezers, furniture, microwaves, hot water heaters, minor remodeling debris, and fencing in 4' x 6' sections. Not accepted: dirt, rock, concrete, automotive parts, tires, batteries, liquids and hazardous materials. An off-schedule special pickup is arranged directly with Republic Services at 972-422-2341 or by email, giving name, address, phone and photographs of all four sides of the pile.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are named nowhere in Rowlett's definitions or in either item list, so the city has not published whether a bed is collected on this service
Not confirmed: No price is published for an off-schedule special pickup; Republic quotes each one from photographs
Not confirmed: A city FAQ still describes a Monday-of-a-service-week set-out rather than the weekly collection the current page describes, and the two have not been reconciled
Not confirmed: Whether the material is recycled or landfilled is not stated

Garland Transfer Station self-haul on a City of Rowlett Landfill Pass
One pass per Rowlett household per calendar year, giving two free disposal trips. Apartment residents are not eligible because they are not billed directly by the city. The pass is collected from Rowlett Utility Billing at 6602 Dalrock Rd. on production of a valid driver's license and a current water bill, and it is non-transferable; both documents must be shown again at the gate, and the card is surrendered at its second use. Lost, stolen, abused or suspected false passes are not replaced or honored.
The last date published for this was Dec 31, 2025, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
The Rowlett pass sheet lists the Transfer Station at 1434 Commerce Street, (972) 205-3500, open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and closed Saturday and Sunday, and gives its acceptable items as household trash, "Bulky Items such as furniture, carpeting, mattresses", small commercial loads and construction or demolition debris, with dirt, rock, brick, concrete, tires without rims and clean brush prohibited. Once the two free trips are used, Rowlett residents pay the posted rates: household trash (MSW) $47.00 a ton for auto unload vehicles and trailers, construction and demolition or bulky waste $63.00 a ton, hand unload vehicles and trailers $68.00 a ton, an environmental fee of $0.94 a ton on all loads, and a minimum fee of $50.00 a load. Landfill staff decide whether a load is commercial or residential.
Not confirmed: The pass sheet on the city's site is the 2025 pass and states on its face that it expires December 31, 2025; no 2026 replacement had been published at the date checked, so it is not established that the two free trips run in 2026
Not confirmed: The sheet is set in two columns and the mattress wording sits in the Transfer Station column, so it is not certain the same acceptance applies at the Hinton Landfill site
Not confirmed: The sheet gives the Transfer Station address as 1434 Commerce Street while the City of Garland's own pages give 1426 Commerce St.; the discrepancy is unresolved

Sales Fees: "Mulch $20 per ton; Compost $30 per ton". The schedule carries no per-item charge of any kind. Source Not confirmed: The rate card contains no mattress or box-spring line, so there is no published per-item price for a bed at this site; a mattress falls under the per-ton hand-unload or bulky-waste rate with the $50 minimum load charge

- 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.

- 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.
