How to get rid of a mattress in West Bountiful, 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.

• West Bountiful's one city collection for large items is a staffed bin drop-off, not a curbside pickup, and the city publishes an itemized refusal list for it that does not include mattresses. The Fall 2025 city newsletter ran it as FALL CLEANUP ~ October 9th-11th at the Public Works Building, 1410 W 1200 N, 8am to 7pm Thu & Fri and 8am to 4pm or until the bins are full Saturday. The newsletter sets the scope in the city's own words: "The city will provide large bins for cleanup again this year. Residents will be allowed to dispose of yard waste, scrap metal, and miscellaneous cleanup materials from their primary place of residence. Driver's licenses will be checked." Its refusal list is printed under the heading Items NOT accepted: "Lead Products, Paint, Appliances, TVs, Commercial Waste, Animal Remains, Dirt, Tires, Explosives, Hazardous Waste of any kind, or Large Concrete Slabs." Bedding appears nowhere on that list, and the accepted scope is miscellaneous cleanup materials from the home. Green waste is handled separately: "All Green Waste will be accepted at the Bountiful Sanitary Landfill, cost will be covered by the city." The city's earlier spring clean-up listing adds that proof of West Bountiful residency is required and that hazardous waste goes to the Wasatch facility in Layton. The city has held the clean-up at the same building in October in each published year, October 9-11 in 2025, October 10-12 in 2024 and October 12-14 in 2023. Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are absent from the itemized Items NOT accepted list and are not named in the accepted scope either; the absence is a gap, not permission, and the city has published no mattress policy for the clean-up bins. Not confirmed: No Fall 2026 newsletter or 2026 clean-up notice could be found on the city's site, so the 2026 dates and whether the terms changed are not established. Not confirmed: The newsletter states no fee for the clean-up bins and no load-size limit.
• West Bountiful contracts curbside collection to Ace Disposal and offers no bulky-item or large-item pickup between its two clean-up weekends. Residential garbage is collected weekly and recycling every other week; the city asks residents to put receptacles at the curb the night before pickup because trucks start early in the morning, and collection slips by one day when the pickup day falls on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas. A missed garbage or recycling pickup goes to 801-363-9995, and city questions to 801-292-4486. The page points residents to the Davis Landfill and to household hazardous waste information for anything the carts will not take, and it names no extra-item fee and no mattress rule. Source Not confirmed: No on-call or extra-item pickup price is published by the city or by its hauler for West Bountiful, so there is no established cost for a curbside mattress collection here.
• Not an option: The Bountiful City Landfill stands inside West Bountiful — 1300 West 1600 North, West Bountiful, UT 84010 — and a West Bountiful resident still cannot take a mattress there. The landfill prices a mattress or box spring at $20.00 each piece on top of the load charge, $7 for a car or pickup truck, $14 for a medium truck and $21 for a large truck with dual rear tires, and a $10 per load state fee applies to an unsecured load. But the page states that service is for Bountiful residents only and that proof of residency is required, and names West Bountiful residents in one line only: 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 Bountiful residents only too. This is the trap on this page of the map — the nearest landfill is a few blocks away, it publishes a mattress price, and the price is not for the reader. The Davis Landfill in Layton, which the county page already carries, is the drop-off that is open to a West Bountiful resident. 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, with arrival at least 30 minutes before closing; the office number is 801-298-6169. Source Not confirmed: The landfill publishes no out-of-city household rate, so whether a West Bountiful resident could pay to dump household waste there on any terms is not established.

• Sandy at 8813 S 700 W uses north public entrance, Mon-Sat 7am-5pm. Since July 1 2026 every mattress/box spring costs $15 in addition to disposal. Commercial vehicles require authorization, account and RFID; maximum combined length 46 feet. Card/account only and full tarp/security required. Source
