2City curbside pickup in Schertz
Schertz’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.
Schertz every-other-week curbside brush and bulk collection (mattresses named on the accepted list)
Residential curbside customers of the City of Schertz. The city's own page frames it as a universal residential service with no registration and no booking: "Brush/bulk pick-up will no longer need to be scheduled. Residents will now be able to conveniently place their tied & bundled brush and bulk items at the curb every other week." Which of the two weeks an address falls in is set by the city's Week A / Week B map, keyed to the address, and brush/bulk runs on the same day as the household cart. Schertz lies across Bexar, Guadalupe and Comal counties and the city draws no distinction between them for this service.
Conditions and source
Every other week, at the curb, on the household's regular service day, no booking. Limit three cubic yards: "Limit of three (3) cubic yards maximum bulk waste (comparable to approximately three standard front load washing machines)". Mattresses are named on the contracted hauler's accepted list for this service — "Small furniture, mattresses" — alongside "White goods, including washers/dryers/refrigerators/freezers" (Freon removed and tagged by a licensed contractor), brush tied in bundles no more than 4 ft long or 4 in in diameter, and bagged grass clippings. Refused: construction and demolition debris, household hazardous waste, medical waste, "Rocks, dirt, concrete" and tires. Over the allowance the city offers a paid Unusual Accumulation pickup outside the normal schedule, for which "fees will apply based on the amount and time required for collection"; the alternative is to "wait until their next assigned brush/bulk collection week". Contracted hauler Frontier Waste Solutions; city inquiries (210) 619-1100.
Not confirmed: No amount is published for the Unusual Accumulation fee.
Not confirmed: No set-out time of day is published.
Not confirmed: The city does not say whether mattresses collected this way are landfilled or recovered, so no outcome is claimed.
Not confirmed: No wrapping or bagging rule is published for a mattress.

What Guadalupe County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Schertz and its neighbors.
- Not an option: The Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 256 W. Court St., Seguin, Texas 78155, (830) 386-3047, open Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, takes a great deal of furniture and will collect it — "We do offer a pickup service for larger items. Pickups are normally done on Tuesdays during store hours, 10:00 AM – 5 PM. The zip codes we service are: 78155, 78156, 78115, 78123, 78638, 78130, 78124, 78131, 78135" — but not a mattress. Its accepted list includes "Furniture: rockers, couches, daybeds, night stands, coffee tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, etc.", and under "We do not accept:" it names "Headboards, bed rails, mattresses", alongside cribs and car seats, food and clothing, tires, used toilets and "Linens, unframed mirrors or glass". The refusal is unusually specific — it rules out not just the mattress but the headboard and rails, so a resident clearing a whole bedroom will get the dresser and nightstand taken and the bed left behind. Worth knowing before loading a truck for Court Street: this is the closest ReStore to Seguin, Marion, New Berlin and Kingsbury, and the answer is the same at the San Antonio Habitat Home Centers, which are now the same organization.

- Guadalupe County collects nothing from anybody, and says so plainly. Under "Disposal of Solid Waste / Household Trash" the county writes: "Residents are responsible for properly disposing of their household waste through private companies offering curbside service or taking their refuse to nearby landfills." There is no county bulky-item pickup, no unincorporated-area collection route, no voucher and no on-call service — the county's role is a discounted landfill rate, a reference list of haulers it explicitly does not endorse ("This is a non-exhaustive list and is not an endorsement by Guadalupe County"), and up to four clean-up days a year. That is the answer for the unincorporated county; inside the cities, collection is whatever the city arranges, which is why Seguin, Schertz and Cibolo residents have a city service and their neighbors a mile down the road do not. The page also carries the county's warning on the alternative: "Illegal dumping is a serious criminal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000.00 fine." The county's recycling advice for residents is limited to paper drop-off bins at local schools and churches and returning plastic bags to grocery stores — nothing that touches a mattress.
