2City curbside pickup in Ocean Shores
Ocean Shores’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.
LeMay – Harbor Disposal collection under the City of Ocean Shores franchise
"The City of Ocean Shores has mandatory garbage collection for all residents and businesses." OSMC 8.06.030(A) requires every owner of improved property in the city who generates waste "on a regular or irregular basis" to "provide for the collection, removal, and disposal of such by subscribing with the franchised hauler contracted by the city of Ocean Shores", and 8.06.030(D) makes using the service without an account a Class C criminal offense. The City does not bill it: "For garbage services, contact LeMay's – Harbor Disposal 360-532-3240." Owners of unimproved lots are handled separately under 8.06.040(D)(2)(b): they "will obtain a permit for camping or use of said real property from the police department, and must purchase at least one solid waste disposal bag for each five days of permitted use".
Conditions and source
Service is a tote and nothing else. OSMC 8.06.050(A): "Garbage collection shall be offered weekly, biweekly or monthly and shall include the option of either a ninety-five-gallon or sixty-five-gallon tote, which shall be provided by the franchised hauler." Collection runs "between six-thirty a.m. and five p.m., Monday through Friday" (8.06.040(F)), with missed collections for hazardous weather picked up "at no additional charge, during that customer's next regular collection cycle" (8.06.040(H)). Containers must be out on collection day "in an accessible place abutting the street or alley used by the garbage hauler", "at the edge of the public right-of-way or at the curb line", and "Customers not complying with the collection site requirements shall be charged an additional fee or passed over without collection, at the option of the hauler. Failure to comply with this provision shall not relieve the customer of the obligation to pay the collection fee for that day" (8.06.030(F)). The hauler need not tidy up: "The hauler shall not be obligated to clean up garbage or litter around receptacles" (8.06.030(G)). The rates that govern are the City's, not the county tariff: 8.06.040(D), "The rate structure adopted by the franchise agreement or as later amended pursuant to the terms of the agreement shall be the rate structure imposed for the services rendered by hauler" — but the franchise schedule is not published, and neither the City nor the hauler publishes a bulky-item or mattress price. The hauler's own residential page says only "If you have a bulk item for pickup, call our office and we will send a truck to your location", naming water heaters, washers, dryers and furniture. Dumping penalties are graded: a first violation is a Class C offense, "All subsequent violations of this chapter within one year shall be Class B offenses… Each day the violation continues shall be a separate offense", and the court may order a violator to clear "any and all solid waste deposited thereon by anyone prior to the date of execution of the judgment and sentence, regardless of the volume of solid waste" (8.06.090).
Not confirmed: The franchise agreement that the code makes the governing rate structure is not published, so neither the residential rate nor any bulky-item charge inside Ocean Shores can be quoted
Not confirmed: Neither the City nor LeMay – Harbor Disposal publishes a bulky-item price, minimum or item limit, or says whether a mattress counts as a bulk item
Not confirmed: No city-run clean-up event or amnesty is published for Ocean Shores

Fee not published
Visit siteHarbor Disposal / Eastern Grays Harbor Disposal bulky material collection (Washington UTC Tariff No. 15, Item 150)
Harold LeMay Enterprises' UTC-certificated territory under permit G-98: the tariff's rate pages state the service area as "Grays Harbor County", trading as Harbor Disposal west of the Wynoochee River and Eastern Grays Harbor Disposal east of it. The county's own page lists LeMay's as serving Aberdeen, Cosmopolis, Elma, McCleary, Montesano, Oakville, Ocean Shores, Westport and both Wynoochee areas, and the City of Hoquiam as served by Hometown Sanitation instead, so this filing does not reach Hoquiam.
The last date published for this was May 18, 2026, 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. Item 150 sets bulky materials at $18.97 per cubic yard for one to four cubic yards, $14.03 per additional cubic yard, a minimum charge of $18.97 per pickup, and a carry charge of $6.17 for each 5 feet over 8 feet. Company-loaded loose material is $32.45 per cubic yard. A special trip is charged at the Item 160 time rates instead. The page was issued May 18, 2026 and takes effect August 1, 2026. Item 20 defines bulky materials as "materials offered for disposal, all of which may be readily handled without shoveling". Washington runs no statewide mattress program, so nothing free sits behind this rate.
- $18.97 — Minimum charge per pickup for bulky material on the regular route; $18.97 per cubic yard for one to four cubic yards, effective August 1, 2026.
- Plus $6.17 — 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 "Grays Harbor County" without distinguishing city limits from unincorporated areas; a city collecting under its own contract would charge under that contract, which is not in this filing.
Not confirmed: How a pickup is booked and how much notice is needed are not in the tariff, and no free allowance is filed.

Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Ocean Shores. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Cheapest
Grays Harbor Central Transfer Station self-haul disposal, Montesano
The county describes the site as "a full-service facility accepting refuse from private businesses, commercial collection route vehicles, commercial drop box vehicles, rural transfer stations and self-hauling public". No residency rule is published for refuse; the free household hazardous waste days are limited to "Grays Harbor residents".
Conditions and source
This is the only disposal site in Grays Harbor County: the county states "All rural transfer stations are closed as of February 1, 2013", so wherever you live in the county this is the trip. Open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed Sundays. The county's price list charges municipal solid waste at $101.00 per ton with a minimum of $10.10 plus tax, which it prints as $10.46, for a load up to 200 pounds, and adds 3.6% refuse tax to disposal rates. Refrigerators are $32.31 plus weight, car tires $2.69 plus weight. There is no mattress or bulky-item line, so a mattress is weighed as municipal solid waste — which makes this, on the published minimum, the cheapest county tip of the four in this group. The county says its garbage is no longer buried in the county: it is processed on site and railed or trucked out to landfill.
Not confirmed: Neither the county nor the operator publishes a mattress fee or states that mattresses are accepted; the price comes from the municipal-solid-waste minimum, not from a mattress line.
Not confirmed: The county's price sheet is undated, and its own header gives the address as 4201 Olympic Hwy, Aberdeen while the county's current page and the operator both give 29 Gavett Lane North, Montesano.
Not confirmed: The destination landfill is named on the county's legacy 2016 page and may have changed; the same sentence names two different landfills.

6Donation options in Ocean Shores
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

What Ocean Shores itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Not an option: Ocean Shores does run one drop-off of its own, and it is no use for a mattress. The Green Waste Compost Center opened "Starting March 2, 2024" at the back gate of the Collections Yard, approximately 149 Canal Dr SE, open "Every Saturday from 11-3:30". It accepts "Yard waste, Canal weeds, Brush clippings under 8"" and nothing else: "No manufactured wood products, pressure treated wood", no noxious weeds, and "Any unacceptable materials will be turned away." It is for "Residential use" only — "Please bring proof of residency, such as your driver's license or a utility bill" — and "Drop off is not intended for construction or commercial use." A resident who assumes the city yard will take a bed because it takes brush has an hour's round trip and a refusal ahead of them; the nearest site that will take one is the county's single transfer station at Montesano. Source Not confirmed: The City publishes no fee for the Green Waste Compost Center and does not state that it is free
- Not an option: The nearest charity shop that takes furniture is an hour's drive from Ocean Shores and has already said no in writing. Habitat for Humanity of Grays Harbor's store at "3005 Simpson Ave., Hoquiam, WA 98550" publishes a page headed "Items we do not accept (May change as situations dictate)" listing, verbatim, "MATTRESS/BOX-SPRINGS", together with "HIDE-A-BEDS" and "BEDDING/LINENS". Its "Items we accept" page takes "FURNITURE: Must be complete and functional with no rips, tears, or stains" and names no bedding. For a peninsula town with no charity shop of its own taking beds, the value here is entirely in not making the drive. Source
What Grays Harbor County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Ocean Shores and its neighbors.
- Harold LeMay Enterprises, Inc. holds Washington UTC permit G-98 and files Tariff No. 15 under the registered trade names "Harbor Disposal and Eastern Grays Harbor Disposal", with its rate pages headed "Rates below apply in the following service area: Grays Harbor County". Item 150 — Loose and Bulky Material sets Bulky Materials at $18.97 per cubic yard for 1 to 4 cubic yards, $14.03 per additional cubic yard, a minimum charge of $18.97 per pickup, and a carry charge of $6.17 "Per each 5 ft. over 8 feet"; company-loaded loose material is $32.45 per cubic yard with a $32.45 minimum. Special trips are charged at the Item 160 time rates instead. The page was issued May 18, 2026 and takes effect August 1, 2026. Item 20 defines "Bulky materials" as "Empty carriers, cartons, boxes, crates, etc., or materials offered for disposal, all of which may be readily handled without shoveling." 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 Item 150 page gives its service area as "Grays Harbor County" without distinguishing city limits from unincorporated areas. A city that contracts directly sets its own rates, which would not be in this filing, and the county's own page shows the City of Hoquiam served by Hometown Sanitation rather than by LeMay. Not confirmed: The tariff is a rate filing, not a service description: how a pickup is booked and how much notice is needed are not in it.
- The Washington UTC's service map list for Grays Harbor County names two certificated companies: Harold LeMay Enterprises, Inc. (G-98), whose Tariff No. 15 sets the county's filed bulky rate, and Murrey's Disposal Company, Inc. (G-009). Neither is the City of Hoquiam's collector — the county's own page gives that as Hometown Sanitation, which operates under a city arrangement rather than under either of these filings. Source Not confirmed: Murrey's Disposal's tariffs were not read, so its bulky rate in Grays Harbor 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.
- Grays Harbor County's Special Wastes page is the nearest thing the county publishes to an item-by-item guide, and a mattress is not on it. It covers clean dry lumber ("The Central Transfer Station is not currently accepting clean dry lumber"), industrial solid waste, white goods ("accepted at the Central Transfer Station and charged as normal garbage"), waste tires ("There are currently no permitted tire piles in Grays Harbor County"), asbestos, medical waste, disaster waste and electronics. The county's current Recycling Guide and its Hazardous & Special Waste page do not mention mattresses either. Nothing in Grays Harbor County is published as taking a mattress for recycling rather than for disposal. Source Not confirmed: No mattress recycler, take-back or collection event was found anywhere in Grays Harbor County. Washington runs no statewide mattress program, so there is no free fallback behind this. Not confirmed: The county links a vendor "Waste Wizard" item lookup hosted on its hauler's site. It was not read: the operator is a Waste Connections company whose location pages are known to serve another state's content, so an answer from it would not be evidence about this site.
- The operator's own transfer station page confirms the address and hours the county's current page gives and its price list does not: "29 Gavett Lane North, Montesano, WA 98563", "Monday – Friday 8 AM – 5 PM, Saturday 8 AM - 4 PM", telephone 1-360-533-1251, with a recycling drop-off center and e-waste drop-off on the same site, serving customers in Grays Harbor County "excluding refuse service in City of Hoquiam". The page publishes no rates and says nothing about mattresses, box springs or bulky items. Source Not confirmed: The operator publishes no rates on this page, so the county's undated price list is the only rate source for the site. Not confirmed: This is a Waste Connections operating company's page; nothing on it about accepted items was relied on 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

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.
