2City curbside pickup in Chehalis
Chehalis’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 Sanitary / Joe's Refuse / White Pass Garbage bulky material collection (Washington UTC Tariff No. 11, Item 150)
Harold LeMay Enterprises' UTC-certificated territory under permit G-98. The tariff's Lewis County rate pages are headed "Rates below apply in the following service area: Lewis County", and the county's own FAQ says "LeMay is the company that provides these services in Lewis County". A city that collects under its own contract is charged under that contract instead, and that contract is not in this filing.
The last date published for this was Oct 17, 2025, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
This is the rate on file with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission for anything too large for a cart on a regular route, and it is the most expensive of the four counties in this group. Item 150 sets bulky materials at $38.28 per cubic yard for one to four cubic yards, $17.09 per additional cubic yard, a minimum charge of $38.28 per pickup, and a carry charge of $7.36 for each 5 feet over 8 feet. A special trip is charged at the Item 160 time rates instead. The page was issued October 17, 2025 and takes effect March 1, 2026. The same company files a $18.97 bulky minimum in Grays Harbor, so the Lewis County rate is more than double its own rate one county west. Washington runs no statewide mattress program, so nothing free sits behind it.
- $38.28 — Minimum charge per pickup for bulky material on the regular route; $38.28 per cubic yard for one to four cubic yards, effective March 1, 2026.
- Plus $7.36 — Surcharge: carry charge for each 5 feet over 8 feet between the collection point and the truck.
Not confirmed: The tariff never names a mattress or a box spring. It is the filed price for bulky material, not a stated mattress policy.
Not confirmed: The rate page's service area is "Lewis County" with no distinction between city limits and unincorporated areas.
Not confirmed: How a pickup is booked and how much notice is needed are not in the tariff, and no free allowance is filed.

Cheapest
Lewis County Central Transfer Station, Centralia — mattress disposal with regular garbage
Open to the public at the county's posted rates. No proof-of-residence rule is published for garbage; the county's free mercury-lamp allowance is for "a resident or business" in Lewis County.
Conditions and source
Open Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with in-bound gates closing at 5:15 p.m.; closed Sundays and all major holidays. Lewis County names a mattress in its own words: "Mattresses can be disposed of at Lewis County transfer stations in Centralia or Morton. They are disposed of with regular garbage. The minimum fee is $20 for 340 pounds or less." That rate is based on $120 per ton, and a 3.6 percent refuse tax is added to each transaction, with the total rounded. Items larger than 8 feet in length are charged at the higher special-handling rate of $140.00 per ton, which a mattress does not reach. Cash, check and cards are taken, with a $2.00 handling fee per card transaction; a certified scale weight is $5.00. One warning before the drive: a fire over Labor Day weekend 2026 extensively damaged this station, and the county says the tipping floor "is only able to operate at 50 percent capacity at this time" and that customers "should expect long lines for the foreseeable future".
- $20 — Minimum fee for 340 pounds or less, before the 3.6% refuse tax — the rate the county names for a mattress. Based on $120 per ton.
- Plus $2 — Surcharge: $2.00 handling fee per credit, debit or pre-paid card transaction.
Not confirmed: The county gives no per-item mattress price: a mattress is weighed with regular garbage, so $20.00 is a floor rather than a quote.
Not confirmed: Whether the $20.00 minimum is before or after the 3.6% refuse tax is not stated on the rates page; the FAQ says the tax is added to each transaction.
Not confirmed: The county gives no expected repair date for the fire-damaged tipping floor.

Visit siteEast Lewis County Transfer Station, Morton — mattress disposal with regular garbage
Open to the public at the county's posted rates. No proof-of-residence rule is published for garbage.
Conditions and source
Open Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Sundays and all major holidays, 2 miles east of Morton on U.S. Highway 12. The county names this station alongside Centralia in its mattress answer: mattresses "are disposed of with regular garbage" at the same $120 per ton with a $20.00 minimum for 340 pounds or less, plus the 3.6 percent refuse tax. Cash, check and cards are taken with a $2.00 handling fee per card transaction. Asbestos is taken at Centralia only. This is the station to use while the Centralia tipping floor is running at half capacity after the Labor Day 2026 fire.
- $20 — Minimum fee for 340 pounds or less, before the 3.6% refuse tax — the rate the county names for a mattress. Based on $120 per ton.
- Plus $2 — Surcharge: $2.00 handling fee per credit, debit or pre-paid card transaction.
Not confirmed: The county gives no per-item mattress price: a mattress is weighed with regular garbage.
Not confirmed: Whether the $20.00 minimum is before or after the 3.6% refuse tax is not stated on the rates page.

What Chehalis itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Chehalis Municipal Code Chapter 8.04 explains why no Chehalis mattress price is published anywhere. CMC 8.04.020 has the city "provide for and establish a solid waste collection and disposal system"; 8.04.030 requires every residential, apartment and business occupant "to use the solid waste collection and disposal service as contracted by the city of Chehalis" and to "pay at least the minimum one-can rate." CMC 8.04.040 then hands the pricing away: "The city council of the city of Chehalis shall, by contract, ratify fees and charges established by the solid waste collection and disposal contractor," and "All fees and charges ... together with all additional charges for excess containers for residential service, excess distance from container to curb for residential service, or excess solid waste for residential service, shall be billed by and paid to the solid waste collection and disposal service contractor." So a charge for "excess solid waste for residential service" exists in the code by name — with no amount attached to it anywhere the City publishes. On placement, CMC 8.04.120: "No solid waste container, refuse, or debris shall be kept or stored on any public alley or street, and, in blocks in which there are alleys, such solid waste containers, refuse, or debris shall be kept in a convenient and accessible location to such alley," and only "on the day of collection ... may [they] be placed on the curb." CMC 8.04.100 makes it unlawful to "cast, leave, or keep on any street or alley ... solid waste ... so as to obstruct the street or alley," to dump waste on any premises without the owner's consent, or "to dispose of any solid waste other than at an approved solid waste disposal site." CMC 8.04.210: any violation is a misdemeanour, "fined any sum not to exceed $1,000." Source Not confirmed: the code names a charge for "excess solid waste for residential service" but fixes no amount; Chehalis's excess and bulky rates sit in the LeMay contract the council ratifies, and neither the code nor the City's website publishes that schedule Not confirmed: no mattress is named anywhere in the chapter
- LeMay's Lewis County branch is also the contracted hauler in Chehalis, and its bulky item pickup page is the only place a Chehalis reader is pointed toward for a large item. It describes what it takes only as "Furniture, home appliances, etc.", names no mattress or box spring, publishes no item list and no price — linking instead to a general "Information About Charges & Fees" page — and gives 360-736-4769 and a "Start service" button. The only service area shown is the branch label "Lewis County_Centralia". LeMay's disposal and recycling guide for the branch does not mention mattresses or box springs either. Source Not confirmed: LeMay publishes no price for a bulky pickup in Chehalis and does not say whether a mattress qualifies Not confirmed: the page names no service area beyond the branch, so it does not establish that Chehalis city customers can book it
What Lewis County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Chehalis and its neighbors.
- Harold LeMay Enterprises, Inc. (Washington UTC permit G-98) files Tariff No. 11 under the registered trade names "City Sanitary, Joe's Refuse, White Pass Garbage", with separate rate pages for "Lewis County" and for "Thurston County Below 142nd Ave". On the Lewis County page, Item 150 — Loose and Bulky Material sets Bulky Materials at $38.28 per cubic yard for 1 to 4 cubic yards, $17.09 per additional cubic yard, a minimum charge of $38.28 per pickup, and a carry charge of $7.36 "Per each 5 ft. over 8 feet"; company-loaded loose material is $38.28 per cubic yard with the same minimum. Special trips are charged at the Item 160 time rates instead. The page was issued October 17, 2025 and takes effect March 1, 2026. This is the most expensive filed bulky minimum of the four counties in this batch, and more than twice what the same company charges in Grays Harbor. The tariff also records that multi-family service in Lewis County "is provided as designated in Lewis County Ordinance No. 1196". Source Not confirmed: The tariff nowhere names a mattress or a box spring, so whether one is collected as bulky material, and at how many cubic yards, is not published. Not confirmed: The rate page's service area is given as "Lewis County" with no distinction between city limits and unincorporated areas. Centralia or Chehalis residents served under a city contract would be charged under that contract, not under this filing, and that contract is not in this document. Not confirmed: How a bulky pickup is booked, and how much notice is needed, is not in the tariff.
- The Washington UTC's service map list for Lewis County names two certificated companies: Harold LeMay Enterprises, Inc. (G-98), whose Tariff No. 11 sets the county's filed bulky rate and which the county's own FAQ names as the provider of curbside service in Lewis County, and Jeffery K. Cummins (G-219), trading as Community Waste & Recycling. Source Not confirmed: Community Waste & Recycling's Tariff No. 4 was not read, so its bulky rate in Lewis County is not recorded here. Not confirmed: The UTC's maps are territory drawings; which company holds a given address is not readable from the page text alone.
- Lewis County runs disposal but not collection: its FAQ answers "Who do I contact about curbside garbage, recycling, or organics services?" with "LeMay is the company that provides these services in Lewis County. Their number is 360-736-4769", and treats curbside garbage as the hauler's subscription service throughout — "Dispose of in your curbside garbage pickup or bring to Lewis County transfer stations in Centralia or Morton" is its standing answer for bulky household items. Curbside recycling is described as "available to All Lewis County Residents" and as "a subscription service offered by LeMay". There is no county bulky-item collection, no county large-item pickup, and no county-wide free dump day or voucher on any Lewis County Solid Waste page. Source Not confirmed: No county-run collection of any kind exists to record. Anything collected at the curb in Lewis County is collected by the hauler under its own terms. Not confirmed: The county advertises community recycle events — one at the old Winlock Drop Box, 1105 Winlock-Vader Road, on September 26, 2026 — but these are recycling collections and no county page says whether a mattress may be brought to one. Treat them as not covering mattresses until a flyer says otherwise.
- Not an option: The Habitat for Humanity stores that serve Lewis County will not take a mattress. South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity's "What We Accept" page lists "Mattresses or boxsprings" among the items it does not accept, alongside "Hide-a-beds or sleeper sofas", "Day beds" and "Trundle beds". Upholstered furniture is taken only "without stains, odors, pet hair or scratches, excessive fading, sagging, rips, or tears". A reader in Centralia or Chehalis can rule the ReStore route out before making the call. Source
- Not an option: The same charity is the one that reaches into Lewis County: its donation page states "We pick up furniture and select other donations in Thurston County, and in Chehalis, and Centralia", from stores at "400 Cooper Point Rd SW Olympia, WA 98502" and "207 E Yelm Ave Yelm, WA 98597". The pickup service that covers Chehalis and Centralia is therefore the same one whose published list excludes mattresses and box springs. Source Not confirmed: No furniture bank or shelter in Lewis County was found publishing a policy of accepting used mattresses.
Washington mattress disposal rules
- County warehouse referral has Everett locality and 425-931-3670; primary operator now directs drop-off to Mukilteo and uses 425-876-0107. County directory appears stale for this referral. Source
- No enacted Washington mattress stewardship law found. SB 6271 (2026; companion HB 2633) would create mattress producer responsibility organizations; referred to Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Jan 21, 2026, public hearing Feb 4, 2026, no later action shown. Source
- Ecology's 1-800-RECYCLE locator (1800recycle.wa.gov) lists 'Home & Garden - Mattresses' as a searchable material; hotline 1-800-732-9253, Mon-Fri 9am-3pm. Ecology's How to Recycle page also directs residents to county or city solid waste officials. Source
- There is no mattress recycling program in Washington State, and the absence is worth stating because both neighbors have one. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, says of itself: "We currently provide resources, education and support for programs in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island." Washington is not among them. A Washington resident has no free state-funded drop-off of the kind an Oregonian twenty miles away in Milton-Freewater or Hermiston has, and no Bye Bye Mattress collection site to look up. What the county charges at the gate is what the resident actually pays. Source

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- 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.
