2City curbside pickup in East Wenatchee
East Wenatchee’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.
Bulky waste special arrangement (City of East Wenatchee)
WM curbside customers in the City of East Wenatchee. EWMC 8.04.050 makes collection mandatory for all premises in the city and bars anyone other than the city contract collector from collecting solid waste there.
Conditions and source
WM's East Wenatchee garbage page states: "Bulky items like mattresses and furniture can be picked up by special arrangement", with rates and scheduling through WM Customer Service at 877-466-4668 or pnwrsservices@wm.com. Anything that will not fit in the cart with the lid closed is charged as extra garbage, and an additional fee applies where the cart lid is open more than six inches. Carts go out the night before: service begins 6 am from October 1 to May 31 and 5 am from June 1 to September 30. Weight limits are 60 pounds for a 32-gallon unit and 180 pounds for the larger carts.
Not confirmed: No price is published for the East Wenatchee bulky-item special arrangement; the only extra on WM's rate card effective January 1, 2026 is "Extra garbage (one bag or 32-gallon can) $4.77 each".

3Drop-off options near East Wenatchee
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of East Wenatchee. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Greater Wenatchee Regional Landfill — closed to households except on a designated special event day
Not open to households. WM's own words: "Open to commercial customers with a business license. No residential customers except during designate special events." That is the single most useful fact about this site for a resident: the landfill that takes the whole valley's waste, on the Douglas County side of the Columbia at East Wenatchee, will not let a household drive in with a mattress on an ordinary day. The one designated special event the county publishes is Douglas County's annual Free Disposal Day, which is itself limited to residents "outside of city limits".
Conditions and source
191 Webb Road, East Wenatchee, WA 98802. "Operation Hours 6 am - 4 pm Monday - Friday. Saturday and Sunday Closed. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Years Day." "Accepts cash or credit card only." Acceptable material is "Asbestos - Friable/Non-Friable; Medical Waste (Treated); Auto Shredder Residue; Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); Construction & Demolition (C&D) Debris; Tires; Industrial and Special Waste; Yard Waste"; unacceptable is "Batteries; Hazardous Waste; Biosolids; Medical Waste (Untreated); E&P Wastes; NORM; Explosives; Waste Containing Free Liquids". A mattress is named on neither list. A separate rule applies to waste from apple maggot quarantine areas: "Pre-approval is required for transportation and disposal of segregated MSW from apple maggot quarantine areas. Unsegregated or unpermitted MSW from quarantine areas is prohibited from transport into or through the Pest-Free Area." WM publishes no gate rates for this site at all. Its "Communities Served" list — Cashmere, Chelan County, Douglas County, East Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Liberty Lake, Mansfield, Rock Island, Spokane Valley, Waterville and Wenatchee — describes where the waste comes from, not who may drive in.
Not confirmed: No rates of any kind are published for this landfill, so nothing can be said about what disposal costs here.
Not confirmed: WM does not define "designate special events" or list them; the link to Douglas County's Free Disposal Day comes from the county's page, not WM's.

Visit siteZacher Processing Center — Douglas County's own drop-off, recyclables only and no mattress on the list
"Open to all Douglas County residents" — the county's own words, and notably without the unincorporated-only limit it puts on the Free Disposal Day. Recorded here as the county's only year-round drop-off, and as the reason a Douglas County household has nowhere county-run to take a mattress: the site takes recyclables, not garbage.
Conditions and source
6114 Batterman Road, East Wenatchee, WA 98802, 509-886-0899. Open "Monday & Thursday: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM" and "Saturday: 7:00 AM - 12:00 PM (third Saturday only)"; "Closed Tues, Wed, Fri, Sun". Accepted materials, in full: "Aluminum & Tin Cans, Appliances, Batteries (All kinds except Tesla), Cardboard, Electronics, Fluorescent Light Bulbs, Medical Sharps, Paint, Paper & Clean Paper Food Containers, Plastics PETE #1 & HDPE #2, Tires (Passenger vehicle tires only)". Household garbage is not on that list and neither is a mattress, a box spring, furniture or any bulky item. The county asks residents to call "to verify they can accept the material you're hoping to recycle prior to visiting". Appliance charges published elsewhere by the county are $15 for non-freon and $30 for freon-containing units.
Not confirmed: A mattress is absent from the accepted list rather than expressly refused, and the county asks callers to verify materials, so the list may not be exhaustive. No mattress recycling is published here.
Not confirmed: Douglas County publishes no transfer station or landfill of its own for household garbage at all.

WM Annual Cleanup Program garbage coupon — one free trip a year across the river to the Wenatchee Transfer Station, with mattresses named as accepted (City of East Wenatchee)
City of East Wenatchee households on WM's residential service, in WM's own words: "Must be current WM single-family residential customer within the City of East Wenatchee with account in good standing", "Customer identification must match the name and address on your WM account", "No commercial coupon use", "ID MUST BE PRESENTED TO DISPOSE MATERIALS". This is the counterpart of the county's Free Disposal Day, which East Wenatchee residents cannot use because it is "for residents who own or rent developed property outside of city limits" — so a city household's free route is the coupon, and an unincorporated household's is the free day.
Conditions and source
The drop-off point is not the landfill on East Wenatchee's own side of the Columbia but "WM Wenatchee Transfer Station, 1421 South Wenatchee Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801. Public Hours: Tuesday–Saturday 9 am - 4 pm", across the river in Chelan County. The garbage coupon is "Redeem for disposal of residentially generated garbage and bulky waste at no charge" and "Mattresses" is printed on its Accepted Items list. WM's East Wenatchee page sets the allowance at "two free trips to the WM Wenatchee Transfer Station each year: one trip for garbage and one trip for yard debris", with coupons posted with the Annual Service Guide in January. Load limit: "one level standard pickup truck bed, small utility trailers or car only (2.5 yards level load max). Loads over 2.5 yards will be charged standard rates." Prohibited: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, automotive waste and fluids, car batteries, asbestos-containing material including drywall, carpet and roofing, concrete, asphalt, insulation, dirt, hazardous waste, any liquid, and no food waste.
Not confirmed: The flyer WM currently links is headed "2024 Annual Cleanup Coupons" though hosted in a 2025 folder, so the current coupon year is not established from the document itself.
Not confirmed: One free garbage trip a year only; beyond it the station's ordinary rates apply, and no mattress price is published there.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What East Wenatchee itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- WM's East Wenatchee rate card, headed "Curbside Collection Rates - Effective January 1, 2026", prices garbage carts in 35, 64 and 96 gallons with weekly service, recycling in a 64-gallon cart weekly and yard debris in a 96-gallon cart every other week. The only extra charges on the card are "Extra garbage (one bag or 32-gallon can) $4.77 each" and contamination fees of $30.60 each for recycling and yard debris. Nothing on the rate card names a bulky item, a mattress, furniture, an appliance or a special pickup, and invoices are mailed every three months. Source Not confirmed: The published rate card has no bulky-item line, so the price of the mattress special arrangement is not established anywhere WM publishes for East Wenatchee.
- Not an option: The obvious reuse stop for an East Wenatchee household is across the bridge, and it refuses mattresses. The YWCA North Central Washington Thrift Store, 231 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, publishes an "Items Not Accepted" list beginning "Mattresses" and "Bed frames"; large appliances, construction material, tires and printers are also refused. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday 10:00am - 5:30pm, with warehouse donation hours 10:30am-3:30pm. Source
What Douglas County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across East Wenatchee and its neighbors.
- Douglas County itself collects nothing. The only collection outside its cities is by WUTC-certificated companies, whose rates are public because the commission requires them to be filed: the commission's tariff index publishes, for this region, "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (Greater Wenatchee) — Tariff No. 14", "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (Ellensburg/Kittitas Operations) — Tariff No. 12", "Robert J. Pellegrini (Upper/Okanogan Valley Disposal) — Tariff No. 8" and "Zippy Disposal Service, Inc. — Tariff No. 21", each as a PDF filed under the company's permit number. Waste Management of Greater Wenatchee's Tariff No. 14 files three separate residential rate schedules for Douglas County — one for "Appendix A (excluding unincorporated Douglas County)", one for "Unincorporated Douglas County as contained in Appendix A" and one for "Rural Unincorporated Douglas County as contained in Appendix E", the last with every-other-week garbage only and no recycling or yard waste ("1 35 gal. cart EOWG $11.61" to "2 96 gal. carts EOWG $26.59", with "Customers located in rural Douglas County residing in the areas designated in zip codes 98830, 98858 and 99115 as shown in Appendix E will be provided service only on every other week basis"). Each unincorporated Douglas County row carries an additional monthly county fee "In accordance with Douglas County Solid Waste Collection Fee Ordinance C.E. 94-014", from "$0.19" on a monthly can to "$4.94" on six weekly cans, expiring "March 31, 2027". The county's role is that ordinance and that fee, not a service. The single bulky rate available to an unincorporated Douglas County household is the Item 150 "Bulky materials" $16.15 per cubic yard with a $16.15 minimum per pickup in the same tariff, and it names no mattress. Source Not confirmed: No filed tariff serving Douglas County names a mattress, so whether a mattress is a "Bulky Material" on a regular route or a special trip at time rates plus disposal fees is not established. Not confirmed: Sunrise Disposal, Inc. (G-201) is also certificated in Douglas County and its tariff was not read.
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.
