2City curbside pickup in Mountlake Terrace
Mountlake Terrace’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 Mountlake Terrace on-call bulky item collection (mattress or box springs priced per item)
Mountlake Terrace curbside customers. WM's page records that "Local ordinance requires all residents to subscribe to garbage and recycling collection in order to maintain public health, prevent public litter, and preserve natural resources," and the city signed a ten-year contract with WM in November 2022 covering garbage, recyclables and yard/food waste.
Conditions and source
On-call, booked with the hauler: "Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials can be picked up by special arrangement. Contact WM Customer Service or call 800-592-9995 (M-F 7 am - 7 pm, SAT 9 am - 1 pm)." The city's adopted schedule, "Effective January 1, 2025", prices it in an "On-Call Bulky Items" table at "Mattress or Box Springs $52.28", against "Sofa $106.88", "Chair $71.74", "Appliances (non-refrigerant) $106.88", "Refrigerators/Freezers $135.94" and "Miscellaneous, per cubic yard $151.62"; the rate "do[es] not include applicable city, county or state taxes" and invoices are mailed every two months. The five clean-up coupons residents receive each year cannot be used for this: they are "One 32-35 gallon cart per coupon" and "Extra garbage must be bagged (50 lb limit)". Carts for regular service must be at the street by 6:30 am on WM's garbage page, though the city-hosted page says 7 a.m.; hand-lifted units are limited to 60 pounds, the lowest in this group.
Not confirmed: The bulky price list is dated January 1, 2025 while the same operator's Mountlake Terrace pages carry a January 1, 2026 Snohomish County disposal-fee increase, so whether $52.28 is still current is not established.
Not confirmed: Nothing is published about wrapping or bagging a mattress for this pickup, how much notice is needed, or how many items one visit may include.
Not confirmed: Where the mattress goes 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
- Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' 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 Mountlake Terrace itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- The City of Mountlake Terrace's own Waste Management page carries a "Collection Schedule Update" — "New collection schedules are in effect in Mountlake Terrace. For your collection schedule - click on your neighborhood - here." — followed by "Please place carts at the curb by 7 a.m. to ensure collection." It also records the 2026 increase: "Effective January 1, 2026, customers in Snohomish County will see rates increase on their WM bills beyond what is on a usual bill. Snohomish County has increased disposal fees at all facilities for the first time in 10+ years where WM disposes of garbage. We are required by the county to utilize their facilities for garbage disposal." Collection is "weekly collection for garbage and every other week collection for Recycling and Food/Yard Waste", and "Garbage collection will not take place on Independence Day (July 4)." Source Not confirmed: This page says 7 a.m. while WM's Mountlake Terrace garbage page says 6:30 am, and neither is dated, so the current set-out deadline is not settled.
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

- 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.
