2City curbside pickup in Othello
Othello’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.
City of Othello curbside pickup of furniture and other extras
City of Othello solid waste customers. The city bills the service and contracts the truck to Consolidated Disposal Services of Ephrata; the minimum monthly charge under OMC 5.08.190 "shall be billed and paid, whether or not the solid waste service is used or required".
Conditions and source
Charges come from Schedule 6, Miscellaneous, of the city's adopted rate schedule at OMC 5.08.190, effective 12/16/25. The furniture line reads "Furniture other than appliances" and is charged per pickup; appliances are a separate line, excluding those requiring refrigerant unless the owner certifies them Freon free. Boxes, trash bags and cans up to a 33-gallon can equivalent are $8.22 each per pickup and "Extra loose yards - per yard" is $21.69. Containers go out by 5:00 a.m. on the residential pickup day. A return trip - any pickup outside 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, or for reasons not the contractor's fault - is charged at 115 percent of the contractor's charge to the city, or $6.13 for a residential toter.
- $18.19 — "Furniture other than appliances", Schedule 6 of OMC 5.08.190 as amended, effective 12/16/25. The line does not name a mattress.
- $21.69 — "Extra loose yards - per yard", Schedule 6 of OMC 5.08.190, effective 12/16/25. The figure shown is the rate for one cubic yard; subsection (d) says "Any extra garbage shall be charges on a per cart or per yard basis."
- $22.68 — "Appliances, each, per pickup (except appliances requiring refrigerant unless owner will certify them as Freon free)", Schedule 6 of OMC 5.08.190, effective 12/16/25.
Not confirmed: The schedule's line is "Furniture other than appliances" and never names a mattress or box spring, so it is not established whether a mattress is billed as one furniture item or by the yard as extra loose yardage.

Visit siteConsolidated Disposal Service curbside loose and bulky material (UTC tariff, Adams County)
The rates Consolidated Disposal Service, Inc. files with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission under permit G-190 for the "Service area: All franchised area within Adams County." Adams County's own FAQ points here: "Garbage collection outside of the cities or towns is regulated by the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) as a regulated industry", and the county "does not regulate or provide garbage collection services". Othello contracts for its own collection, so a household inside the city is not on these rates.
Conditions and source
Item 150, "Loose and Bulky Material", effective April 1, 2025: Bulky materials "$19.91" per cubic yard for 1 to 4 cubic yards and "$19.91" per additional cubic yard - thirty percent above the $15.34 the same company charges in its franchised area outside Adams County. The minimum charge per pickup and carry charge boxes on the filed page are blank. "Special Trips: Time rates in Item 160 apply." Item 230 of the same tariff gives the gate prices the company pays in the county, matching Adams County's own card: "Adams County, Putrescible Waste, $80.00 per ton", "Yard Waste, $45.00 per ton", "Appliances $10.00 Each", "Applianecs with freon $20.00 Each".
Not confirmed: The tariff names no mattress or box spring, and the county's six-foot rule at the transfer stations is not mentioned in it, so it is not established how a hauled-away mattress is handled at the gate.
Not confirmed: No minimum charge for a bulky pickup is filed - the box is blank.
Not confirmed: The service area is given only as "All franchised area within Adams County", with no map or town list.

Cheapest
Bruce Transfer Station, Othello - self-haul disposal
A county-owned site. Adams County's Solid Waste Division serves "Adams County through the Bruce Transfer Station and Ritzville Transfer Station", and rates "Are set by the Adams County Board of County Commissioners". No residency requirement or proof-of-residency rule is published for garbage; the only resident-versus-commercial split on the rate card is on yard waste, where residents get the "FIRST 250 LBS FREE".
Conditions and source
524 S. Lucy Road, Othello, WA 99344, (509) 488-6171. Open Tuesday through Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM from April to November, and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM from December to March; closed on nine county holidays. Charged by weight with a floor: "Price per Scaled ton $80.00", "Price per Scaled Pound $0.04", "Minimum Charge $10.00", "Unsecured Load Charge $10.00", and "Washington State's 3.6% refuse tax will be added to the posted rates." Credit, debit, cash and check are accepted. The rule that governs a mattress is a length rule, not a price: "Items over 6 feet long are not accepted at either location", and the county states that "Couches and mattresses are considered oversized items and are classified as special wastes." A load containing an oversized item is rejected at inspection; a load tipped on the floor before inspection with an oversized item in it is charged the "Special Waste Handling Tipping Fee of $125.00 per ton, with a minimum disposal fee of $25.00 per load" - the whole load, not just the item. Appliances are $10.00 each without freon and $20.00 with; tires $5.00 to $90.00 each with a limit of eight per day.
- $10 — Minimum charge at the scale: "Minimum Charge $10.00", against "Price per Scaled ton $80.00" and "Price per Scaled Pound $0.04", plus Washington's 3.6% refuse tax added to the posted rates. This is what an accepted mattress under six feet long is charged as ordinary solid waste; no per-mattress price is published.
- $25 — Penalty floor, charged on the whole load. If an oversized item - and the county classifies couches and mattresses as oversized - is tipped on the floor before inspection, "the entire load will be assessed a Special Waste Handling Tipping Fee of $125.00 per ton, with a minimum disposal fee of $25.00 per load." A load caught at inspection is rejected instead.
- Plus $10 — Surcharge. "Unsecured Load Charge $10.00" - Adams County Code Chapter 13 prohibits spillage from a load on a public road and allows a fee to be assessed.
Not confirmed: The county says both that mattresses "are considered oversized items" and that oversized means over six feet long, and does not reconcile the two. Whether a mattress shorter than six feet goes in at the $10 minimum, or is treated as special waste whatever its length, is not established.
Not confirmed: No per-mattress price is published anywhere in the county's rate card or FAQ.
Not confirmed: The FAQ does not say whether a mattress may be cut down to meet the six-foot rule.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published for garbage, so a resident of another county is neither admitted nor excluded in terms.

Ritzville Transfer Station - self-haul disposal
The second of Adams County's two county-owned transfer stations, on the same rate card and the same rules as the Bruce Transfer Station at Othello. No residency requirement or proof-of-residency rule is published for garbage.
Conditions and source
1803 E. Danekas Road, Ritzville, WA 99169, (509) 659-1540. Open Wednesday and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM year round; closed on nine county holidays. Same rates as Othello: "Price per Scaled ton $80.00", "Minimum Charge $10.00", "Unsecured Load Charge $10.00", plus Washington's 3.6% refuse tax. Same length rule: "Items over 6 feet long are not accepted at either location", with couches and mattresses classified as oversized special wastes and a "$125.00 per ton" special waste fee, minimum "$25.00 per load", charged on a whole load tipped with an oversized item in it before inspection. It is roughly sixty miles north-east of Othello, so it is the alternative only for the north of the county.
- $10 — Minimum charge at the scale, same county rate card as Othello: "Minimum Charge $10.00" against "Price per Scaled ton $80.00", plus Washington's 3.6% refuse tax.
- $25 — Penalty floor, charged on the whole load, where an oversized item - couches and mattresses are classified as oversized - is tipped before inspection: "$125.00 per ton, with a minimum disposal fee of $25.00 per load."
Not confirmed: The same unreconciled rule applies here: mattresses are called oversized items, and oversized is defined as over six feet, with no statement about a mattress shorter than six feet.
Not confirmed: No per-mattress price is published.
Not confirmed: Open only two days a week, which no page explains or supplements with any other Adams County site.

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.
