How to get rid of a mattress in Centerville, UT.

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.

What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Centerville does not run a curbside bulky-item collection of its own. The one city collection that takes large items is the annual Fall Clean Up, which the city offers and Ace Disposal performs, and it is pre-paid: the resident registers and pays, and only then is the load collected. The 2026 run was a single pickup on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with registration open September 28 through October 24, 2026. The city's page sets the charge at $30.00 per pickup for up to 3 cubic yards, which it describes as a standard pickup-truck load. Household garbage and yard debris are accepted if boxed, bagged, bundled or containerized, and so are furniture, appliances and e-waste including CRT televisions. Rocks, concrete, dirt and sod, construction debris, vehicle parts and tires, and hazardous waste are not accepted. Three published limits decide whether a mattress can go: bundles must be no more than 18 inches in diameter, bulk waste must be cut to under 4 feet, and bulk waste cannot exceed 75 lbs. A twin mattress is 75 inches long and a queen or king is 80 inches, so every household size is over the 4-foot limit uncut, and a mattress runs 50 to 100 lb, which puts a king at or over the weight cap as well. The page never names mattresses in either list. Residents book by registering online through the link on the page, and the city office number for questions is 801-292-8232. Source Not confirmed: The page neither names mattresses as accepted nor lists them as not accepted, so whether Ace Disposal will take one on a fall clean-up load is not established — only that an uncut mattress of any household size exceeds the published 4-foot limit. Not confirmed: The page does not say whether the 4-foot and 75 lb limits apply to furniture, which it accepts by name, or only to the bundled material described just above them. Not confirmed: No 2027 fall clean-up date or fee is published yet. Not confirmed: The city does not publish an outcome for clean-up loads: whether they are landfilled or sorted is not stated.
• Centerville contracts garbage and recycling collection to Ace Disposal rather than collecting with city crews, and the city's garbage page offers no bulky-item, large-item or special pickup of any kind between the two seasonal clean-ups. Garbage carts are emptied weekly and recycling every other week, with the pickup day set by neighborhood. The page states the cart is only for household and yard trash, with limbs cut into 2 ft. lengths, and that construction materials and hazardous waste are not allowed; it also tells residents not to overfill bins or place extra bags or items beside them, which rules out leaving a mattress next to the cart. Containers must be out before 6:00 AM on the collection day and not the day before. Missed pickups go to 800-724-9995 and service questions to Centerville City at 801-295-3477. The city's garbage and recycling index repeats that the city does not collect trash or recycling directly and contracts with Ace Disposal. Source Not confirmed: Neither the city nor its contract page publishes an extra-item or on-call bulky pickup fee, so there is no established price for having a mattress taken from a Centerville curb outside the fall clean-up. Not confirmed: The Centerville fee schedule section covering solid waste could not be opened; whether it contains a per-item charge is not established.
• Not an option: Centerville's other seasonal collection, the Spring Clean Up, cannot take a mattress at all: the city's page says in its own words that it is a GREEN WASTE only cleanup. Centerville Public Works runs it as a staffed drop-off at Smoot Park's west parking lot, roughly 1580 N Parkway Dr, open Saturday March 21 from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, closed Sunday March 22, Monday March 23 through Friday March 27 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday March 28 from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. A resident who reads "spring clean up" and loads a mattress has made the trip for nothing; the paid Fall Clean Up is the only one of the pair that takes household bulk. Questions go to the city office at 801-292-8232. Source Not confirmed: The page does not print the year against the March dates, so the 2027 dates are not established. Not confirmed: The page states no fee for the spring drop-off.
• Not an option: The nearest public landfill to Centerville is the Bountiful City Landfill at 1300 West 1600 North, West Bountiful, and it will not take a Centerville resident's mattress. Its own page prices a mattress or box spring at $20.00 each piece on top of the load charge, which is $7 for a car or pickup truck, but it also states that service is for Bountiful residents only and that proof of residency is required. Centerville residents are named in exactly one line, and only for one material: green waste is also accepted from residents of Centerville, Woods Cross, North Salt Lake and West Bountiful, with proof of residency. Household hazardous waste collection is likewise Bountiful residents only. So the mattress fee on that rate card is not a Centerville reader's price; the Davis Landfill in Layton, which the county page already carries, is the drop-off a Centerville resident can actually use. Landfill hours are Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM from April 1 to October 31 and 8 AM to 5 PM from November 1 to March 31, closed Sundays and holidays, and a vehicle must arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to unload. The office number is 801-298-6169. Source Not confirmed: The page does not say whether a Centerville resident may pay an out-of-city rate for household waste; it states only that service is for Bountiful residents and that green waste is additionally accepted from the four named cities.
