2City curbside pickup in Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg’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.
City of Fredericksburg Special Pick Up bulk collection
Limited to areas within the City limits, 22401 ZIP code only. A subscription to city trash service is not required. Call 540-372-1023 to arrange; the appointment must be made and the fee paid in advance of placing any items on the curb.
Conditions and source
There is no free allowance: the minimum curbside fee is $75.00 per load or any portion thereof, and the city reserves the right to limit collection. Not covered: piles of loose debris or large volumes from major yard renovation, whole-house clean-outs or items abandoned due to eviction, paint or hazardous chemicals, construction debris, tree trunks or portions of trees, and extremely heavy items. Placing materials on the curb without prior arrangement violates City Code §62 Solid Waste, incurs cleanup charges, and under City Code §38 Litter Control is a misdemeanor punishable by jail time, fines of $250–$2,500, or both.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are named neither in the covered items nor in the exclusions, and no per-item rate is published — only the $75 per-load minimum.

What Fredericksburg city offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Fredericksburg and its neighbors.
- Fredericksburg's one free route for a mattress is Community Cleanup Week, and the city names mattresses in the list. 'Community Cleanup Week is a great opportunity to clean up City yards and neighborhoods. During this week, the Public Works Department collects residential materials (e.g., appliances, brush, building materials, furniture, mattresses, scrap materials, tires) from special dumpsters located throughout the City. NO TIRES. Spring cleanup 2026 collected 56.56 tons of material. NO commercial dumping allowed.' The same page notes that the department 'also holds Curbside Bulk Collections (PDF) for items such as appliances, Christmas trees, and furniture. Some of these curbside collections are suspended due staff shortages, and associated budget redirection.' Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days are held one or two times a year and are 'open only to City and Stafford County residents'. Source Not confirmed: No dates are given for Community Cleanup Week and no street addresses are published for the special dumpsters. Not confirmed: The page contradicts itself on tires, listing them as collected and then 'NO TIRES'.
- The nearest convenience center to a Fredericksburg resident does not take mattresses. The city's page for the Belman Road Recycling Center, 1200 Belman Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22401 (behind the City Shop), states: 'Residents need to purchase a coupon book or annual pass from the Treasurer's Office or R-Board prior to going to the convenience center. Effective January 1, 2026 Annual passes cost $140 or a coupon book with ten trip coupons cost $50.' It is 'Available only for residential use by City of Fredericksburg and Stafford County residents'; business and commercial vehicles are barred and the volume of debris accepted is limited; 'Gate attendant will divert vehicles to the Stafford Landfill if volume or content of load is inappropriate', in which case a landfill disposal charge applies. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–4:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m.–3 p.m. The published list of items accepted in addition to single-stream recycling is lithium batteries, automotive and equipment batteries, motor oil (5 gallons per resident per day), antifreeze (5 gallons per resident per day), cooking oil, appliances, scrap metal, small engines, electronic waste, plastic bags, textiles and fruit and vegetable scraps — mattresses appear nowhere on it. Source Not confirmed: The city page neither accepts nor refuses mattresses in so many words; it is the R-Board's own pages that prohibit them at this site and price them at the Regional Landfill instead.
Virginia mattress disposal rules
- Governor vetoed HB 86 (2026 session), which would have created a mattress recycling program with a purchase fee; veto statement dated April 13, 2026 calls mandating all retailers join a single program and raise prices unworkable. No statewide mattress program in effect. Source
- Virginia DEQ operates no statewide item locator. Its Statewide Recycling Programs page tells residents "Your local government website or recycling coordinator is the best source for detailed information on recycling and special collection events" and, to find where to recycle hard-to-dispose items, to contact the Recycling Program Manager in their locality; it names the third-party Earth911 website as the universal resource. The only product-specific statewide program listed is Computer & Electronics Recycling under Virginia's Computer Recovery and Recycling Act. The page's list of common Virginia recyclables does not include mattresses or furniture. Source
- Virginia's recycling mandates are rate mandates on localities, not material bans: each county, city, town or regional authority (Solid Waste Planning Unit) must maintain recycling programs meeting at least 15% (low population density or high unemployment) or 25% (all others), must maintain a Solid Waste Management Plan, and may be required to file a Recycling Action Plan if it falls short. No material is banned from disposal and mattresses are not mentioned. The page links a statewide "Recycling Program Managers (by Locality)" contact list (deq.virginia.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/29928/639154037491930000) and the Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Regulations at 9VAC20-130. Source
- Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Virginia is not among them; MRC's head office is at 501 Wythe Street, Alexandria VA 22314, but it runs no Virginia program. This is consistent with the existing record that Virginia's 2026 mattress recycling bill (HB 86) was vetoed. Source
