2City curbside pickup in Ellensburg
Ellensburg’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.
WM Ellensburg bulky item pickup — mattresses named, price unpublished
Collection customers inside the City of Ellensburg. Under ECC 5.18.035 it is unlawful for anyone but the city's authorized solid waste hauler to collect waste for a fee in the city, so WM is the only route short of hauling it yourself.
Conditions and source
WM's Ellensburg page states: "Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials can be picked up by special arrangement." Arranged through WM Customer Service at 877-466-4668 (Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) or through WM's website; the local office is 607 N. Railroad Avenue, Ellensburg. No price for it appears anywhere. ECC 5.18.150 requires the hauler's rates to be "approved by the city council, incorporated into the permit agreement ... filed in the office of city clerk and posted on the permittee's website," and provides that "No charges may be collected unless made in accordance with rates which have been so approved and filed" — yet the posted schedule (effective January 1, 2026: 20 gallon $22.86, 35 gallon $26.46, 64 gallon $39.72, 96 gallon $53.51 a month, extra garbage $7.22 a bag or 32-gallon can, yard debris $21.86, recycling contamination $33.40, with a further rise from November 1, 2026) carries no bulky item, special pickup or mattress line at all. Collection starts at 5 a.m. June to September and 6 a.m. October to May; carts go three feet apart and three feet clear of cars, trees, mailboxes and fences.
Not confirmed: WM names mattresses as collectable by special arrangement and publishes no price; the council-approved schedule ECC 5.18.150 requires it to post carries no bulky item or special pickup charge, so the Ellensburg mattress price is not published anywhere despite the ordinance's publication requirement

Chapter 5.18 — GARBAGE, SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING | Ellensburg, WA
Fee not published
Visit siteWM of Ellensburg bulky-material collection under its state-filed tariff — $26.58 a cubic yard, and the tariff never says a mattress qualifies
Kittitas County collects nothing itself; it requires collection in its growth areas and one certificated company provides it. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission lists a single company for the county — "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (G-237)" — trading as "Waste Management of Ellensburg" under Tariff No. 12. Garbage rates apply in the "Service area as contained on Appendix A", and the curbside recycling and yard debris programs are provided "in accordance with the area described as the 'Urban Growth Areas and Master Planned Resorts with the County' per the Kittitas County Ordinance No. 2023-008, contained in G-237". The county's own page directs households to the company by name: "For commercial garbage pick-up and curbside recycling, contact Waste Management, Inc. at (509) 925-9688."
Conditions and source
"Item 150 – Loose and Bulky Material" (12th Revised Page No. 24, effective October 18, 2025) prices, for "Kittitas County – Appendix A", "Bulky materials — 1 to 4 cubic yards Rate per Yard $26.58; Additional cubic yards Rate per Yard $26.58; Minimum Charge Per Pickup $26.58", with the same figure for "Loose material (Company load)"; the superseded page effective November 1, 2024 shows $25.59, which is the increase. "Special trips: Time rates in Item 160 apply." The tariff's definition is the standard generic one — "Bulky Materials: Empty carriers, cartons, boxes, crates, etc., or materials offered for disposal, all of which may be readily handled without shoveling" — and the word mattress appears nowhere in the tariff. For context on the rest of the bill, monthly garbage runs from "1 Can MG $8.04" and "Mini-Can WG $13.94" to "1 96 gallon cart WG $39.03", recycling is "$16.33", yard waste "$22.77", and a "96-gallon bear proof cart" rents for "$10.50" a month on top of the cart's own service rate.
Not confirmed: The tariff names no mattress, so whether a mattress is collected as "Bulky Materials" at $26.58 or must be ordered as a special trip at Item 160 time rates plus disposal fees is not established.
Not confirmed: "Appendix A" is a map filed with the tariff rather than a list of addresses, so which unincorporated Kittitas addresses are inside the service area is not established.
Not confirmed: Kittitas County itself runs no bulky collection, voucher or free dump day; that absence is established from its own pages rather than from any statement that none exists.

Cheapest
Ellensburg Transfer Station self-haul disposal (a mattress is weighed in as MSW against an $11 minimum; no mattress fee published)
Open to self-haulers without a residency test, in the county's own words: "Transfer stations in Kittitas County accept garbage from commercial haulers and self-haulers (people who choose to haul their own garbage)." No resident card, account or proof of address is required of a household; the only account requirement the county imposes is on construction and demolition waste, where "Contractors only with an established business account" may bring it. The county does not positively state that out-of-county loads are accepted.
Conditions and source
2603 W Green Ave, Ellensburg, WA; open "Monday - Saturday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm"; 509-962-7072. The fee schedule "Effective October 1, 2025", adopted by the Board of County Commissioners' Resolution Setting Fees for Solid Waste Disposal, sets "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton/$11.00 minimum". The resolution and the published schedule name no mattress, box spring, furniture, bulky or oversize item anywhere, so a mattress is weighed in as municipal solid waste: the $11.00 minimum first, then $179.00 per ton. Other lines: yard waste $96.00 per ton with an $8.00 minimum, and "Yard Waste that is contaminated with ordinary MSW (garbage) will be charged the MSW fee"; construction and demolition waste $93.00 per ton with an $8.00 minimum at this station; "Appliances with CFC Refrigerants $38.00 per appliance Plus Weight"; tires $4.00 each with garbage, $15.00 per truck tire; "Unsecured Load Fee $10.00"; "Additional/Replacement Cards for Charge Customers $7.00 per card". Free at the gate: "Recyclables may be dropped off at no cost to you, at the approach to each transfer station" — mattresses are not among them. "Listed fees are subject to applicable taxes", and the county rounds the total to the nearest whole dollar. The county's other station, Cle Elum, charges the same MSW rate.
- $11 — Kittitas County's adopted fee schedule, effective October 1, 2025: "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton/$11.00 minimum". Neither the schedule nor the resolution that set it names a mattress, box spring, furniture, bulky or oversize item, so a mattress is weighed in as municipal solid waste and this $11.00 minimum is the established floor — the cheapest published floor of the four counties in this batch. "Listed fees are subject to applicable taxes", which the county does not quantify, and the total is rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
- $179 — "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton", adopted by Kittitas County effective October 1, 2025. A mattress goes over the scale at this rate above the $11.00 minimum, because the county prices no mattress separately.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee is published or adopted, so the $11.00 MSW minimum is the established floor rather than a quoted mattress price.
Not confirmed: Applicable refuse and sales taxes are added but not quantified on the schedule.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published either way for household self-haul.

Cle Elum Transfer Station self-haul disposal (same county MSW rate; no mattress fee published)
Open to self-haulers on the same terms as Ellensburg: "Transfer stations in Kittitas County accept garbage from commercial haulers and self-haulers (people who choose to haul their own garbage)." No residency test, card or account is required of a household.
Conditions and source
50 - #5 Mine Road, "across from the Cle Elum/Roslyn School"; open "Tuesday - Saturday 8:00 am - 1:00 pm, 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm" — note the closed middle hour; 509-674-5890. The county's adopted fee schedule effective October 1, 2025 applies: "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton/$11.00 minimum", with no mattress, box spring, furniture or bulky line anywhere in it, so a mattress is weighed as municipal solid waste. Construction and demolition waste is dearer at this station than at Ellensburg — "$113.00 per ton/$8.00 minimum" against "$93.00 per ton/$8.00 minimum" — and "Dump trucks with over a ton must haul direct to Ryegrass". Yard waste $96.00 per ton with an $8.00 minimum. "Recyclables may be dropped off at no cost to you, at the approach to each transfer station." Listed fees are before applicable taxes, and the total is rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
- $11 — The same county-wide adopted rate applies at Cle Elum: "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton/$11.00 minimum", effective October 1, 2025, with no mattress priced anywhere in the schedule. Construction and demolition waste is dearer at this station than at Ellensburg ($113.00 per ton against $93.00), but household garbage is not.
- $179 — "MSW Tipping Fee $179.00 per ton" at the Cle Elum Transfer Station under Kittitas County's schedule effective October 1, 2025. A mattress is weighed in at this rate above the $11.00 minimum.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee is published; the $11.00 MSW minimum is the established floor.
Not confirmed: Taxes are added but not quantified.

What Ellensburg itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Central Washington University runs an end-of-year donation drive rather than a move-out disposal route. "Don't Waste, Donate!" runs 6 to June 14, 2026 at "10 Locations Across Campus" and asks students leaving the residence halls to donate "clothing, furniture, school supplies, and unopened non-perishable food" instead of sending them to the landfill; it is run through the Wildcat Pantry, (509) 963-1856. Mattresses and bedding are named neither as accepted nor as excluded, and residence hall beds belong to the university in any case. Checked because move-out week is when a university town produces mattresses; CWU publishes no mattress route, which matches every other university town checked in this project. Source Not confirmed: the drive publishes no not-accepted list, so whether a student's own mattress would be refused is not stated; it is a donation drive for reusable goods, not a disposal service
What Kittitas County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Ellensburg and its neighbors.
- Kittitas County collects nothing itself; the county instead requires collection in its growth areas and a single certificated company provides it under a filed tariff. Waste Management of Washington, Inc., permit G-237, registered trade name "Waste Management of Ellensburg", Tariff No. 12, "Item 150 – Loose and Bulky Material" (12th Revised Page No. 24, issue date September 3, 2025, effective October 18, 2025) reads "Special trips: Time rates in Item 160 apply." and for "Kittitas County – Appendix A": "Bulky materials — 1 to 4 cubic yards Rate per Yard $26.58; Additional cubic yards Rate per Yard $26.58; Minimum Charge Per Pickup $26.58", with the same $26.58 for "Loose material (Company load)"; the neighboring "Grant County - Appendix B" column carries $23.82. The superseded 11th Revised Page No. 24 (effective November 1, 2024) shows $25.59 for the Kittitas column, which is how the increase reads. The tariff's standard definition is "Bulky Materials: Empty carriers, cartons, boxes, crates, etc., or materials offered for disposal, all of which may be readily handled without shoveling." Item 100 residential monthly rates apply in "Service area as contained on Appendix A", and the recycling and yard debris programs are provided "in accordance with the area described as the 'Urban Growth Areas and Master Planned Resorts with the County' per the Kittitas County Ordinance No. 2023-008, contained in G-237", with recycling "on an every other week basis to all customers in the above service area" in one 96-gallon cart. Garbage rates run from "1 Can MG $8.04" and "Mini-Can WG $13.94" to "1 96 gallon cart WG $39.03", with a "Bear Cart – Monthly Rent" of "$10.50" for a "96-gallon bear proof cart". Nothing in the tariff names a mattress. Source Not confirmed: The tariff names no mattress, so whether a mattress is collected as "Bulky Materials" at $26.58 or must be ordered as a special trip at Item 160 time rates plus disposal fees is not established. Not confirmed: The service area is "Appendix A", a map filed with the tariff rather than a list of addresses, so which unincorporated Kittitas addresses are inside it was not established.
- Kittitas County publishes no bulky collection, no voucher and no free dump day, and its special-waste page shows why a mattress is simply garbage there. The page covers only "Asbestos" ("The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR Part 61) are the regulation governing the handling, transportation and disposal of asbestos"), "Electronics" (directed to E-Cycle Washington), "Demolition Debris" ("solid waste, largely inert waste, resulting from the demolition or razing of buildings"), "Safe Syringes" ("It's dangerous to throw loose needles into the trash. They will shatter under pressure"), "Liquid Wastes" ("Liquid waste (septage) is accepted by the County from septage pumping firms"), "Mercury" and "Petroleum Contaminated Soil". A mattress, a box spring, furniture and bulky household items appear on none of those lists, and demolition debris is the one stream the page routes away from the transfer stations: contractors with accounts go "Directly to the demolition disposal area at the Ryegrass Landfill". The county's own solid waste home page names no clean-up event, free dump day, amnesty or bulky collection either, and directs household collection and curbside recycling to "Waste Management, Inc. at (509) 925-9688". Source Not confirmed: No Kittitas County clean-up event, voucher or free dump day is published; the absence is established from the county's own pages rather than from any statement that none is run. Not confirmed: Whether the City of Ellensburg runs a clean-up day or bulky pickup of its own is city-layer research and was not pursued here.
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

- 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.
