Waste Connections of Washington curbside bulky item pickup in Ridgefield (city limits)
Waste Connections customers inside the Ridgefield city limits. Collection is universal and compulsory under RMC 8.12.020 — a household that declines service is still "charged for the service of checking to see whether he or she has solid waste to be collected" — and the city's own page says "Garbage collection is provided through Waste Connections of Washington."
Conditions and source
"Mattress or Box Spring $26.18" at the curb, the same as a sofa, a chair or any other bulky item, plus "a trip fee of $82.20/hour ... (.5 hour minimum)" whose clock "starts from the beginning of the driver's trip (9411 NE 94th Ave, Vancouver, WA 98662) and ends once the appliance is picked up from your curb" — a minimum of $41.10, so one mattress costs at least $67.28. "Bulky item pickups are available on Tuesday's" and should be scheduled up to one week ahead. RMC 8.12.130 is the authority: discarded appliances, furniture and tires are picked up on the regular schedule where possible "at an additional fee as listed in the schedule of charges", and must be placed so the collection vehicle can get within ten feet of them; on a special pickup they must be within ten feet of any curb, street, edge or alley and the contractor notified in advance. Residential collections run between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. (RMC 8.12.030).
- $26.18 — "Mattress or Box Spring $26.18" per item, from the Ridgefield (city limits) bulky item table on Waste Connections of Washington's residential rates page. The trip fee below is charged in addition.
- $41.10 — Minimum trip fee for a Ridgefield bulky item pickup: "a trip fee of $82.20/hour is charged (.5 hour minimum)", so at least $41.10, charged in addition to the per-item price. The clock runs from the depot at 9411 NE 94th Ave, Vancouver until the item is picked up from the curb.
Not confirmed: These prices are published by the contractor; the city council resolution adopting the schedule of charges under RMC 8.12.040 was not located.
Not confirmed: The rate page carries no effective date.
Not confirmed: It is not stated whether a mattress and box spring are charged as one item or two, nor whether the half-hour trip minimum covers several items on one trip.
Not confirmed: Whether a collected mattress is landfilled or recycled is not stated.

Nearest
Columbia County Transfer Station self-haul disposal
Open to the public Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays; the county's published solid waste rates state no residency requirement for self-haul, and name Columbia County residency only for the free paint, used motor oil and certified sharps containers.
Conditions and source
Rates effective July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027: a $28.35 minimum for a self-haul load up to 320 lbs., $172.35 per ton above that, and a senior rate of $17.45 up to 320 lbs. Yard debris is $28.35 up to 860 lbs. and $67.65 per ton above. An unsecured load costs $19.00 extra. Refrigerant appliances are $26.30 each and a boat or RV carries an $80.00 special handling fee. All transactions are rounded to the nearest five cents. Closed New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and the station may close at or after 1 PM on Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. The county's accepted and unaccepted items page lists mattresses and box springs on neither list, so on an ordinary day outside the four free mattress events this load rate is the only published price a mattress could fall under.
- $28.35 — Minimum self-haul charge for a load up to 320 lbs., effective July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027; loads over 320 lbs. are charged $172.35 per ton, and a senior rate of $17.45 applies up to 320 lbs.
- Plus $19 — Surcharge: unsecured load
Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress or box spring fee and does not name a mattress among the station's accepted or unaccepted items, so whether a mattress is taken on an ordinary day, and at what charge, is not established.
Not confirmed: Whether waste self-hauled here is landfilled or recovered is not stated.

Metro Central Transfer Station free mattress and box spring drop-off
Any customer at the public scale; the page states no residency requirement and sets the allowance per customer per day.
Conditions and source
Up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day are accepted for free, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, closed the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds and air mattresses are not covered and are accepted as garbage at the garbage rate ($51 minimum, $176.70 per ton). When mattresses arrive as part of a mixed load the customer receives a $2.40 credit for each mattress or box spring. Loads must be covered or pay an extra $25 per ton ($3 extra on minimum loads).
Not confirmed: Metro does not say whether the mattresses it takes are recycled, reused or landfilled.
Not confirmed: Metro's July 1, 2025 printed flyer gives the allowance as a $2.30 rebate per item up to four per day rather than a free drop-off, so the free-drop-off wording is only on the undated webpage.

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.
