How to get rid of a mattress in Sherman, TX.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

• The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source
• Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source

Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.

• Sherman's current Bulk & Brush Collection page announces a change that matters to anyone planning a mattress set-out: the program moved from a fixed monthly calendar to a call-in program. 'Collection of bulky items will be changing on May 4th, 2026. Starting on May 4th, our monthly Bulk Waste and Brush program will change to a call-in program. Each residence will still be allowed one pickup per month of 5 cubic yards of bulk waste materials and to cubic yards of brush materials.' Booking is now after set-out: 'Once your items have been placed at the curb you can request a pickup on the Sherman app, through the City of Sherman website, or call our bulk waste line at 903-892-7777. Once we receive the request, we will schedule it for pickup.' Eligibility is unchanged: 'The Bulk Waste and Brush program is for residential customers only and is part of the trash service included in the City utility bill. Residences without an active City utility account will not be picked up. Contractors working at a residence must set up commercial trash service.' The acceptable bulk list on this page reads 'Furniture; Carpet; Lumber; Bags and Boxes of Trash; Appliances... Glass items', with unacceptable items tires, fluorescent bulbs or ballasts, concrete, shingles, batteries, dirt/rock/rubble, railroad crossties, liquids and hazardous materials. Placement: 'Bulk and Brush items need to be placed at the curb in two separate piles. Items must be at least three feet away from any obstructions (mailboxes, trash carts, utility poles, street signs, trees, yard art, etc.) and not blocked by any vehicles... Bulk & Brush items will not be picked up in alleyways or any other driving lane.' Source Not confirmed: The current webpage's acceptable-items list does not name mattresses, though the city's own Bulk Waste & Brush Program flyer lists 'Mattresses and Box Springs' under bulk waste; the flyer still describes the pre-May-2026 fixed-Monday schedule, so which document is current on the acceptable-items question is not certain Not confirmed: The page states the brush allowance as 'to cubic yards' (an apparent typo for ten, which is what the flyer says) Not confirmed: Whether the flyer's 7:00 a.m. set-out deadline still applies under the call-in program is not stated
• Sherman recycles nothing that helps with a mattress. The city's Solid Waste & Recycling page describes the department's services as 'residential trash and recycling collection, commercial trash and recycling service, bulky waste collection and brush collection', and the only special-materials event it publishes is a household hazardous waste day: 'TCOG (Texoma Council of Government) will be holding their annual HHW collection event on Saturday May 2nd, 2026', accepting paint, motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze, cleaners, chemicals and pesticides, and explicitly not accepting business or contractor waste, ammunition, explosives, medical, biohazard or infectious waste, tires, rims, CRTs or drums. The city's own bulk program flyer explains where bulk waste goes: separating the piles 'keeps costs down and saves space in the landfill'. No mattress-specific recycler, take-back or collection site serving Sherman or Grayson County was established, and Texas has no state mattress recycling program - the Mattress Recycling Council states it supports programs 'in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island' only. Source Not confirmed: Commercial 'mattress disposal in Sherman' listings exist in directories, but none publishes a street address with a mattress price or stated policy on its own site, so none meets the standard for listing
• Not an option: ReStore Grayson, run by Habitat for Humanity of Grayson County, is the obvious donation destination for a Sherman household and it will not take a mattress. Its donate page lists 'Mattresses or bedding' among the items it cannot accept, alongside water heaters, damaged or incomplete cabinets, broken or rusted appliances, clothing or shoes, pesticides and hazardous or toxic chemicals, and console televisions. What it does take is 'Furniture - clean, undamaged couches, chairs, tables, lamps, bed frames, etc.', electric appliances seven years old or less and in working order, hand and power tools, complete cabinets, unbroken windows and screens, and unopened paint - so a bed frame is welcome and the mattress on it is not. The store is at 3822 Frisco Road, Sherman TX, 'off of Texoma Parkway, turn east on the road between Enterprise Rental Cars and KXII Studios', 903.647.0133. Source Not confirmed: Box springs are not separately named in the refusal, though 'bedding' is Not confirmed: The donate page publishes no opening hours

• Current homepage says drop-off is coming soon, whereas existing MRC card 42 lists commercial drop-off at 1915 Kramer Ln and open 24 hours. Do not rely on that old drop-off listing as current. Homepage offers indoor/curb pickup and states reuse, then recycling, then landfill as its routing preference. Source
• Operator lists Austin yard at 6546 Burnet Road, Austin TX 78757 and Manor yard at 20301 Hog Eye Rd, Manor TX 78653. Earlier national65 Duke’s listing uses 1602 Bench Mark Dr.; no move or branch-equivalence statement found. Preserve all addresses separately. Source
• No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on TCEQ pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
• TCEQ's Take Care of Texas (Mar 4, 2025) notes many mattress retailers offer pickup of old mattresses on new-mattress delivery, organizations such as Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity may accept good-condition mattresses, and many cities/haulers offer bulk pickup or collection events. Source
