How to get rid of a mattress in Pasco, WA.

• The Pasco rules a resident is most likely to break, and the reason no Pasco garbage price is published. The set-out window is narrow and exact, PMC 8.05.090: containers may be placed at the curb collection site ahead of the front yard setback line "but only during the 24-hour period which starts at 7:00 p.m. the day prior to collection and ends at 6:59 p.m. on the day of collection by the City's contracted solid waste collector"; otherwise they belong behind the front yard setback line. Weight, PMC 8.05.180: "No bundle, can or other container to be set out for removal shall weigh more than 65 pounds when filled unless the City or solid waste collector, if any, authorizes a greater weight." Collection is compulsory and universal under PMC 8.05.010, and PMC 8.05.140 makes it unlawful to permit unconfined solid waste to accumulate on a property or on abutting curbs, gutters, pavements or planting strips. Where the City or the Benton-Franklin Health District orders a removal, the contractor charges the City and the City charges the occupant "the greater of a sum equal to three times the amount usually charged for such special service or the actual costs associated with such removal". Scavenging at a city- or contractor-owned transfer station is unlawful (PMC 8.05.290), and the transfer station "shall remain open, at a minimum, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday except holidays" (PMC 8.05.300). Prices are deliberately not in the code: PMC 8.05.310(2) says "The charges for solid waste disposal services are as set forth in the collection contract between the contractor and the City and include the charges to delinquent accounts." Penalties, PMC 8.05.340: a violation "shall be deemed to have committed a civil infraction and shall be subject to a civil penalty as set forth in PMC 1.40.050(5), plus court costs and statutory assessments", and PMC 8.05.350 lets the City proceed by civil complaint in Municipal Court or administratively through the Code Enforcement Board, with an order of abatement of up to 30 days or abatement by the City at the defendant's cost. Source Not confirmed: PMC 8.05.310(2) puts the rates in the collection contract, which the city does not publish, so no Pasco garbage or bulky figure can be established from the code Not confirmed: PMC 1.40.050(5) sets the civil penalty amount and was not read

• 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
