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

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

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 we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• The City of Snohomish does not collect: "Republic Services provides garbage and recycling services in the City of Snohomish. All occupied properties are required to have garbage service." The only contact given is "Republic Services Customer support Phone: 425-778-0188", and the page's links are to Republic's recycling brochure, yard waste, hazardous waste and unacceptable items sheets. Source Not confirmed: The city page carries no bulky-item, large-item or mattress information and no rate of its own.
• The city-specific Republic Services brochure the City of Snohomish hands to residents answers the mattress question by sending it to the county, not to the curb. Under its list of where things go it reads "Bulky Items (mattresses, furniture, appliances) — www.snoco.org/solidwaste", alongside "Metal Appliances — www.snoco.org/solidwaste" and "Clothing & Furniture — Donate items in good condition." The same brochure sets the city's cart rules: "Please have carts out by 6:30AM. Containers must be 2 feet apart from each other and at least 3 feet away from other objects. Place carts as close to the curb as possible, no further than 5 feet from the curb or roadway edge." It also records the switch in billing and service — "New - Quarterly Billing. For most customers, monthly rates for solid waste have lowered. Note: your invoice from Republic Services will be mailed every three months (the City billed every two months)" — and gives customer service as "425-778-0188". Source Not confirmed: The brochure offers no curbside bulky option at all for a mattress in the city of Snohomish — it names no on-call bulky service, no price and no booking route, only the county website.
• The only garbage rate schedule the City of Snohomish still publishes is marked "[ARCHIVED] Rates for Garbage" and headed "2017 Residential Garbage, Recycle, Yard Waste Monthly Rates": "One 32 gal can monthly $9.92", "20 gal cart weekly $10.91", "32 gal cart weekly $14.26", "64 gal cart weekly $21.37", "96 gal cart weekly $28.47", senior tiers from "$4.96" to "$10.69", "Recycling & Yard Waste weekly $16.28", "Extras (32 gallon equivalent) $6.95", "Extras Organics $5.95", "Return Trip $14.50", "Re-deliver Fee $25.00", "Walk-in/Carry-out $4.75", "Drive-in $6.75", "Late Fee 1%, $1 Minimum", "Returned Item Fee $40.00" and "Suspend Fee $10.00", plus a commercial schedule. Source Not confirmed: The schedule is nine years old, is flagged archived by the city, and contains no bulky-item or mattress line among its extras — the closest entries are a return trip and an extra 32-gallon equivalent. No current City of Snohomish garbage rate schedule was found.

• 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
