2City curbside pickup in Union Gap
Union Gap’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 Union Gap curbside collection (Basin Disposal Incorporated) - material that could not reasonably have gone in the cart is collected at no additional cost
All residential classification premises in the City, collected weekly by the city or its designate under UGMC 5.04.110, with a minimum monthly rate of $17.87; mobile home parks and auto courts pay $17.87 per pad whether occupied or not unless served by a commercial drop box. Carryout service is free to disabled residential customers.
Conditions and source
Rates effective January 1, 2026: one 96-gallon residential cart $17.87 a month, each additional cart $2.97 a month, with a pass-through fuel surcharge applied to all garbage and trash billing invoices. The rule on anything outside the cart: "Contractor's collection of solid waste placed outside of the 96-Gallon Residential Cart shall be at no additional cost unless the materials could reasonably have been placed in the Residential Cart. Each unit of solid waste not provided in this manner for collection shall be subject to the solid waste unit rates set forth." Each additional item - can, bag or box - is charged at $2.97 per 96-gallon cart equivalent. Carryout of carts or units over 10 feet but not over 20 feet is $4.13 per unit per pickup, with $4.13 for each further 20 feet or fraction.

What Union Gap 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: Union Gap's one free clean-up will not take a mattress, and it is the sort of thing a reader assumes otherwise. The city runs an annual "Spring Clean Up", described as a FREE service, on the second Saturday of May each year from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with four disposal sites across the city: the City Hall parking lot at 107 West Ahtanum Road, Ray's Wholesale Meats parking lot at 2112 South 3rd Avenue, Cahalan Park parking lot at 2100 South 18th Street and Loudon Park parking lot at 3607 4th Street. What residents may bring is yard waste only. There is no household bulk day and no other free disposal event on the city's pages. Source Not confirmed: The page does not print an explicit "not accepted" list, only the positive limitation to yard waste
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
