2City curbside pickup in Williamsburg
Williamsburg’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 Williamsburg household bulk collection (mattresses accepted)
City of Williamsburg residents receiving city garbage collection. City Code section 14-3(a) furnishes garbage collection without charge to detached single-family houses, side-by-side duplex units, qualifying multiple-family dwelling units and residential townhouses and condominiums whose homeowners association has applied for service; section 14-4 requires stores, hotels, office buildings and non-qualifying apartment houses to arrange disposal at their own expense.
Conditions and source
'By appointment only. Appointments must be submitted no later than noon (12 pm) on the Thursday prior to the collection day. Items must be placed at the curb before 7 am on the collection day. Collections are limited to 2 large items per collection, with a maximum of 3 collections per year.' Allowable items are mattresses, chairs, refrigerators, sofas and washers or dryers; remodeling and building materials, car parts and toilets are not collected. Bulk pickups are arranged at 757-220-6140. For anything the bulk program will not take, the city directs residents to the James City County Jolly Pond Convenience Center on a pre-purchased coupon basis.
Not confirmed: The city publishes no fee for household bulk collection and does not state that it is free; City Code section 14-9 charges 'payment in advance of estimated cost' only for special service outside the chapter.
Not confirmed: The city does not say whether a mattress and its box spring count as one large item or two against the two-item limit; James City County's coupon schedule charges the two separately at its convenience centers.
Not confirmed: Whether collected mattresses are landfilled or recycled is not stated.

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

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 Williamsburg city offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Williamsburg and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, whose free ReStore donation pickup covers 'Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson and Williamsburg, plus the counties of Charles City, James City, New Kent and York, Virginia', lists 'MATTRESSES & BOX SPRINGS' among the items it 'REGRETFULLY' cannot accept, and also refuses used bedding, although new bedding in original packaging is accepted. Its ReStores are at 371 Chatham Drive, Newport News, VA 23602; 1303 Jamestown Road, Williamsburg, VA 23185; and 4824 George Washington Memorial Highway, Yorktown, VA 23692 (757-596-5553), and pickups are booked 5 to 7 days ahead at 757-932-8976. A used mattress is therefore not a donation route for a Williamsburg resident through this ReStore. Source
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

- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
