3Drop-off options near Washougal
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Washougal. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Washougal Transfer Station self-haul drop-off (Columbia Resource Company)
Open to the public. "The rates and hours established at the Washougal Transfer Station are governed by contract between Clark County and Columbia Resource Company." It is the nearest transfer station for both Washougal and Camas, and the operator's own page carries the Camas city-limits note that "The City of Camas does not pick up bulky items, appliances or electronic waste from the curb."
Conditions and source
4020 S Grant Street, Washougal, WA 98671. Solid waste is taken 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays; recycling 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, free of charge; household hazardous waste free on the first and third Saturday of every month, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Solid waste is $118.65 per ton, or $14.83 per cubic yard where applicable, plus a $10.00 transaction fee per trip and a 3.6% Washington State GRT tax on every disposal transaction. There is no mattress or box spring surcharge: the special handling list covers only refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners at $24.91, TVs and monitors at $0.00, and tires. A mattress is therefore charged as ordinary solid waste.
- $10 — "Transaction Fee (Per Trip) *Charged in addition to disposal rates $10.00", from Columbia Resource Company's Rates and Fees page, which governs the Washougal Transfer Station under its Clark County contract.
- $14.83 — "Rate per Cubic Yard (if applicable) $14.83" for solid waste, the volume alternative to the $118.65 per ton rate. A mattress carries no special handling fee, so it is charged as ordinary solid waste; a 3.6% state GRT tax is added to every transaction.
Not confirmed: No minimum load charge is published, so the smallest possible bill for one mattress cannot be stated.
Not confirmed: The rate page does not say whether a self-hauled mattress is weighed or measured by volume.
Not confirmed: The operator does not publish an explicit statement that mattresses are accepted; the finding rests on the absence of any exclusion or surcharge on the county-contract rate card.

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.
