How to get rid of a mattress in Clinton, 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.

• Clinton City runs no bulky-item collection. Its Solid Waste page names Robinson Waste Management Company at 801-825-3800 as the hauler, with garbage weekly and recycling every other week on the same day, blue weeks alternating with red weeks. Two cart rules shut out bedding: "Do not place items in the cart that are greater than four feet in length" and "Do not place the following items in your garbage cart: hot ashes or coals, large quantities of dirt, sod, grass clippings not bagged, rocks or concrete, hazardous/flammable materials, large bulky items, construction, remodeling, or demolition debris." A twin mattress is 75 inches long, so the four-foot rule alone excludes every size. Carts go out by 6:00 a.m. on collection day and come off the street by the end of the day, placed at the curb facing the street, not on top of it, and within two feet of the blacktop where there is no curb. The city states where the waste goes: "Waste picked up from city curbs goes to the transfer station in Layton to be hauled to the Bayview Landfill in Elberta." Recycling costs $6 per cart per month on the city utility bill, signing up for or canceling a second black garbage can costs $25, and glass is not taken in the cart. Questions go to 801-614-0700. Source Not confirmed: The monthly garbage rate is not stated on this page.
• Not an option: Clinton City's free clean-up events take the bulky items a cart cannot hold and name mattresses as one of the three things they will not touch. The city's Solid Waste page says that "Multiple times a year (usually in late-spring and early-summer), the Clinton City Public Works department hosts events where they accept landfill items at their office yard (1711 W 1740 N)," and that "During these events, residents may drop by items that are too big for their trash cart but small enough to fit into a dumpster." It then states the exclusion in its own words: "Tires, hazardous waste, and mattresses are not accepted." So the obvious free route in Clinton for a sofa or a bookcase is closed to bedding, and a resident who loads a mattress for a clean-up day will be turned away at the yard. The city's once-a-year Shred Day at City Hall is for paper only and is open to Clinton residents only. Dates for both are posted on the main city calendar. Source Not confirmed: The city gives no fixed dates for the clean-up events beyond "usually in late-spring and early-summer", and publishes no list of what the events do accept.
• Clinton City Code Title 13, Garbage and Waste, both confirms that bedding is barred from the cart and keeps a neighborhood dumpster program on the books that the city's own Solid Waste page no longer describes. Section 13-4-1 defines "Bulky Waste" as "wastes that are not capable of being stored in the approved automated solid waste containers and cannot be picked up by automated collection vehicles, including items such as appliances, furniture, large tree branches, lawn sod and Christmas trees, etc." — furniture named outright. Section 13-5-10 then lists what may not go in a city container, closing with "Commercial Solid Waste; and Bulky Wastes," and includes among the itemized bans "Any item exceeding two feet by two feet by five feet in dimensions," which a 60-by-80-inch queen exceeds. Section 13-5-9 sets the curb rule: containers "shall not be set out upon the street for collection prior to the evening of the day before collection and shall be set out prior to 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection," and must be removed from the street "the same day they are emptied"; those physically unable to wheel a container out may arrange pickup with the City Manager. Section 13-3-10 makes any violation of the title a class C misdemeanor, and 13-3-11 lets the city abate an accumulation of garbage at the owner's expense. Chapter 13-8 still establishes a "community clean up dumpster program" under which "City residents may contact the Public Works Department to schedule the delivery of a dumpster to be placed in their neighborhood," delivered Monday for Thursday collection or Thursday for Monday, no more than one dumpster a month per caller, unavailable in December, January and February, and limited to Clinton residents in the neighborhood where it sits. Section 13-8-6 leaves the charge open: "Fees associated with the use of the Dumpster shall be established by the City Council, from time to time, and published in the Clinton City Consolidated Fee Schedule." Section 13-8-7 says only that "A list of items that are not allowed to be placed in the dumpster shall be posted on the side of the dumpster," so the code itself does not say whether a mattress qualifies. Source Not confirmed: No fee for the Chapter 13-8 community clean up dumpster could be found in any published Clinton fee schedule, and the code commits the city to charging one, so this must not be read as free. Not confirmed: The city's own Solid Waste page lists dump vouchers, clean-up events, a shred day, an RV dump and tree limb recycling but does not mention the Chapter 13-8 dumpster program, so whether it is currently offered is not established. Not confirmed: What the dumpster refuses is posted only on the side of the container, so the exclusion list is not available in advance. Not confirmed: No source confirms a local reuse outlet in Clinton with a published mattress policy.
