2City curbside pickup in Richland
Richland’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 Richland Solid Waste Utility curbside collection - $3.00 an extra can load, and no bulky item program
All City of Richland residential utility customers. Collection is the city's own: RMC 15.03.010 makes it "unlawful for anyone except the city to collect solid waste within the city for compensation without the approval of the city". A low-income discount runs under Chapter 3.29 RMC.
Conditions and source
One gray 96-gallon garbage container and one green 96-gallon yard waste container, collected weekly Monday through Friday year-round except Christmas Day; optional curbside recycling every other week. All containers at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the assigned day, at least three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes or fences, 14 feet of overhead clearance, wheels to the curb, lid closed. Extra curbside garbage must also be out by 6:00 a.m.; extra bags may not exceed 32-gallon capacity or 40 pounds, and boxes may not weigh more than 40 pounds and must be a size one person can safely handle and lift into the container. Extra curbside garbage is charged $3.00 for each additional garbage can load. A residential call-back fee of $12.00 applies where a container was obstructed, was not at the curb by 6:00 a.m., was packed so it would not empty, or where extra refuse is collected. The service charge does not cover refuse from major renovations or new construction, earth, rocks, sod, dead animals, animal wastes or household hazardous wastes.
- $12 — Residential call-back fee where the container was not at the curb on time or extra refuse must be collected
- Plus $3 — Each additional garbage can load of extra curbside garbage, RMC 15.03.060(B)
Not confirmed: The city runs no bulky item or large item collection, so there is no published price or method for a mattress at the curb
Not confirmed: The code and the rate page do not say where Richland curbside garbage ends up, though the city's own Horn Rapids Landfill is the disposal site named in the rate structure

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 Richland 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: Worth saying plainly because the wording invites the wrong conclusion: the only free extra collection Richland runs is for garden waste, not for household bulk. The city's residential page describes excess yard waste - "Bag excess yard waste with a certified compostable bag (BPI Certified) and place it at the curb for collection at an extra charge (except during Fall Cleanup, November 10 - December 19, 2025, when excess yard waste collection is free)" - and lists the free alternatives as an extra yard waste container at $2 a month, a mulching mower, home composting, the gray garbage can, or "Bring extra yard waste to the Horn Rapids Landfill for free (Richland residents, clean yard debris only)". The green container "shall only contain vegetation material", and repeatedly using it for regular garbage brings a load contamination fee of $10. Curbside rules are the same for every stream: cans out by 6:00 a.m., at least three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes or fences, 14 feet of overhead clearance, wheels to the curb and the lid closed. A missed or extra pickup is booked on a One-Time Pick Up Request form or at (509) 942-7700, and "Call-back fees apply when containers are not at the curb on time". So a mattress has no free curbside route in Richland; the free route is the resident rate at the city landfill. Source Not confirmed: The 2026 Fall Cleanup dates are carried on the city's recycling collection calendar rather than on this page
What Benton County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Richland and its neighbors.
- Benton County WA's Solid Waste and Recycling page states that the county does not operate garbage collection or landfill services for residents: 'each city manages their own garbage and recycling services', and residents must contact their city's waste provider (Richland, Kennewick, Prosser, West Richland or Benton City). The only county-run facility is the Moderate Risk Waste Facility at 1709 S Ely Street, Kennewick, open Tuesday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. plus the third Saturday of each month 8 a.m.-noon, which handles household hazardous waste only. Benton County Public Works is at 509-786-5611. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress or bulky item drop-off, no fee and no county bulky collection; those are city programs
- Completing the Benton County record, and correcting a figure that is easy to carry across from the county next door. Basin Disposal's Tariff No. 95 under permit G-118 is filed in blocks by county, and the Benton County pages are not the Franklin ones. On revised page 25-A, headed "Benton County", Item 150, "Loose and Bulky Material", effective July 1, 2026, sets Bulky Materials at "$17.05" per cubic yard for 1 to 4 cubic yards, the same per additional cubic yard, a minimum charge per pickup of "$17.05", and a carry charge of "$3.38" per each 5 ft over 8 feet, with loose material customer-load and company-load at the same figures. The Franklin and Walla Walla County page of the same tariff, revised page 25, carries "$17.09" instead. Special trips take the Item 160 time rates: a single rear drive axle non-packer truck at "$85.04" an hour with a minimum charge of "$42.52" and each extra person "$61.09"; a tandem rear drive axle non-packer, packer or drop-box truck at "$117.70" with a "$58.85" minimum; a truck and trailer at "$150.53" with a "$75.26" minimum. Time is recorded to the nearest 15 minutes and runs from the moment the vehicle leaves the terminal until it returns, excluding interruptions in the company's control, and Item 230 disposal fees apply on top. Item 230 lists "Columbia Basin LLC" at "$80.00" per ton with a $23.00 minimum, "City of Richland Landfill" at "$76.15" per ton, "City of Walla Walla Sudbury Landfill" at "$119.40", "Finley Buttes Landfill" at "$31.61" and "Waste Management Kenewick Transfer Station" [sic] at "$80.00" per ton. The boundary matters: a UTC tariff names rates only for the certificated territory the Commission regulates, which in Washington means outside city limits. It does not set the price inside Kennewick, Richland, West Richland or Prosser, each of which adopts its own schedule or its hauler's rates by reference. Source
- Not an option: The Habitat store for Benton County is in Richland and it will not take a mattress. Habitat for Humanity Tri-County Partners serves Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla Counties and runs its Habitat Store at 309 Wellsian Way, Richland, WA 99352, next to Harbor Freight, open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., store telephone (509) 943-1330 and donation hotline (509) 943-0222. Its published donation guidelines list "Mattresses and box springs" under the furniture heading "NO, THANK YOU!", with bed frames refused alongside them. This is the nearest Habitat affiliate to Kennewick, Richland, West Richland and Prosser, so the reuse route a reader would try first is closed before they load the car. Source
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.
