2City curbside pickup in Mill Creek
Mill Creek’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 Mill Creek on-call bulky item collection (mattresses named, price quoted on the call)
Mill Creek curbside customers. A senior and disabled discount tier exists for cart service, for which a resident must be "Age 65 or older and designated as disabled pursuant to RCW 46.16.381" or "Age 65 or older and having a combined disposable income ... not in excess of the Snohomish County Community Development Block Grant Consortium Low Income Schedule for the preceding calendar year", applying through the city.
Conditions and source
On-call with the hauler: the city's adopted schedule "Effective July 1, 2026" lists "Bulky items (mattresses, sofas, appliances, etc.) — Click here or call 800-592-9995 (M-F 7 am - 7 pm, SAT 9 am - 1 pm) to request service — Varies", and "Bulky item collection" is one of the things WM's Mill Creek collection guidelines tell residents to call 1-800-592-9995 about. Regular carts must be at the street by 7 am, three feet apart and three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes and fences, with hand-lifted units limited to 65 pounds.
Not confirmed: The price is published only as "Varies"; WM quotes it on the call, so no mattress figure can be recorded.
Not confirmed: WM uses the identical wording "Bulky items (mattresses, sofas, appliances, etc.)" on its Arlington, Lake Stevens, Mill Creek, Mukilteo and Stanwood rate schedules, so the sentence is template copy; what makes it this city's answer is that it sits inside this city's own adopted schedule, with its own effective date and booking route.
Not confirmed: No free allowance, item limit or notice period is published.
Not confirmed: Whether the senior and disabled discount applies to a bulky pickup as well as to cart service is not stated.

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.
