2Drop-off options near West Bend
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of West Bend. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
GFL West Bend self-haul mattress and box spring drop-off
No residency rule is published. Washington County lists the site in a county-wide guide without a county or municipal limit, and the only access instruction it gives is "Calling before dropping off is always recommended." The county adds that "No endorsement of any business by Washington County is intended."
Conditions and source
Washington County's "Disposal / Recycling Reference Guide as of 01/01/2026" answers "Mattresses, Boxsprings" with "Only Accepted at these locations." and points to this site among them. The county's entry reads "GFL Environmental (formerly Veolia-Advanced Disposal) (M-F 7am-3pm) … 262.334.5618 / 803 N River Rd., West Bend, WI 53090 … (TV's, microwaves and other electronics) NO clean chemical barrels, NO compost, NO fryable & nonfryable asbestos accepted at this location; Tires fees vary, No Appliances accepted that contain Freon-Other appliances are accepted – (Minimum. scale charges do apply) (Furniture / Mattresses / Box Springs accepted) – Call for pricing – subject to change." Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Furniture is accepted on the same line as mattresses and box springs. Appliances containing Freon are refused here, as are clean chemical barrels, compost and friable and non-friable asbestos. A minimum scale charge applies, and the price for a mattress is not published — the county says to call.
Not confirmed: No mattress or box spring price is published; the county's instruction is "Call for pricing – subject to change"
Not confirmed: The amount of the minimum scale charge, and whether it applies to a single mattress carried in a car, is not published
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress taken here is recycled or transferred to a landfill is not stated
Not confirmed: Published hours come from the county's guide rather than from the operator's own page, which carries no page for this location

WM Orchard Ridge RDF self-haul mattress drop-off
No residency rule is published. WM publishes separate "Residential Hours" for the site and states no county or municipal limit; Waukesha County names the site for county residents without restricting it. Payment is by check, credit or debit card, or credit account.
Conditions and source
Waukesha County lists this site under the heading "Furniture, Mattresses, Boxsprings" as a "Disposal Option" — "WM Landfills — Orchard Ridge-Menomonee Falls: 262-253-8620" — and again under "Trash" as one of "2 privately-owned landfills if your hauler will not pick up your type of trash". WM's own facility page gives the residential hours as Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and lists municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, tires and yard or green waste among the non-hazardous materials accepted. The page states the facility "does not accept hazardous waste" and that select waste streams must be scheduled with the facility. No price schedule is published. The operator's own page does not name mattresses — the referral is Waukesha County's.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee, minimum load charge or per-ton rate is published by Waukesha County or by WM
Not confirmed: WM publishes residential hours but no residency or account rule, so whether any self-hauling household may simply arrive at the scale was not established
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress is buried or diverted is not stated; the facility is described by its operator as a disposal facility

What Washington County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across West Bend and its neighbors.
- Washington County, Wisconsin publishes no collection program of its own — no curbside route, no bulky item run, no large item allowance and no county fee for a mattress pickup. Its county-wide disposal guide opens by sending the reader to the town or city instead: "We recommend first checking with your local municipality to find what they accept as part of their curbside pickup or if they offer any special collection events / recycling alternatives." The county's role is the Natural Resources Department's Land Resources Division, which publishes this reference guide, runs the Clean Sweep hazardous waste program and holds the free appliance and electronics collection; no county department collects refuse. Whatever bulky route exists in West Bend, Germantown, Hartford, Richfield, Jackson or Slinger is set by the municipality or its hauler and belongs on the municipal pages. Source Not confirmed: The county does not publish which hauler serves each municipality, so no municipal bulky allowance or mattress fee could be established at the county level
- Washington County, Wisconsin ran a free county-wide collection event in 2026 and a mattress was not among the items it took. The flyer reads "For Washington County Residents / Thursday, August 13 - 2pm - 6pm / Washington County Fair Park & Conference Center / 3000 Cty Hwy PV, West Bend, WI 53095", for a "TV/E-Goods & Appliance Collection" held in the parking lot of the fair grounds, "Free of Charge". Its accepted list is itemized in full under five headings: televisions (CRT TVs and monitors, LCD TVs and monitors, projection and wood console TVs); computers and peripherals (towers, laptops and Chromebooks, tablets, keyboards, mice and computer speakers, small-scale servers, DVD, VHS and Blu-Ray players, hard drives and flash drives, satellite receivers, routers and modems, desktop printers, scanners and fax machines, VCRs and DVRs, gaming systems, cell phones); kitchen appliances (microwaves, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, toasters); other household electronics (calculators, cameras, box and circulator fans, home theater systems and sound bars, landline telephones and cords, navigation devices, portable CD players, power cords, radios, clock radios and CB radios, stereo systems and speakers, typewriters); and large appliances (air conditioners of every kind, boilers, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, water heaters, water coolers, dishwashers, washers and clothes washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and wall ovens, wine coolers, compactors, freezers, refrigerators, furnaces). Mattresses, box springs and furniture appear nowhere on it. Everything on the list was free of charge to county residents. Source Not confirmed: The flyer itemizes what is accepted and prints no NOT ACCEPTED list, so the absence of mattresses is recorded as an absence, not as a refusal Not confirmed: The flyer gives no year on its date line; August 13 fell on a Thursday in 2026, which matches the file the county published for that year. No 2027 date is published yet
- Washington County, Wisconsin's other county-wide program is Clean Sweep, which is for household hazardous waste and does not take a mattress. The collection runs at Veolia Environmental Services, W124N9451 Boundary Road, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051 — a site outside the county, in Waukesha County — from February through November, Mondays and Wednesdays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pre-registration is required and the fee is $10 per visit; residents must show a driver's license, stay in their cars, keep items in the trunk in a non-returnable container and complete a short survey. Online registration for 2026 opened February 1, 2026 and closed November 30, 2026. The county states that appliances, computers, electronics, tires and latex paint are not accepted at Clean Sweep. The same Veolia site runs a permanent Product Exchange Program where residents may drop off or take usable cleaning, automotive, paint and stain, and lawn and garden products at no charge with a signed liability waiver. Nothing in the program covers mattresses, box springs, furniture or bulky waste. Source Not confirmed: The county's accepted-items list for Clean Sweep is a separate PDF that was not read; a hazardous waste program is not a route for a mattress either way
- Washington County, Wisconsin publishes no reuse outlet that takes a mattress. Its disposal guide's "Furniture" line reads "Only Donate if good condition." and points at the same four references as the mattress line — the two GFL sites and two front-door junk removal firms — not at a charity. The two reuse organizations the guide does describe are limited in their own words. Habitat for Humanity ReStore, at W188N10707 Maple Rd., Germantown, WI 53022, 262.255.7470, and 508 N Main St., West Bend, WI 53090, 262.334.1801, "Accepts donations of new, gently used and salvaged building materials in resalable condition. No hazardous materials/paint/computers TV's accepted." St. Vincent de Paul, at 420 N River Rd, West Bend, WI 53090, with locations at 52 S. Main St., Hartford, 445 E. Washington St., Slinger, and W225N16712 Cedar Park Ct., Jackson, is described only as accepting computers and computer components for recycling, small appliances such as microwaves working or not, tube TVs for a fee, flat screens and non-working cell phones. Neither description mentions bedding, and no county-wide furniture bank is named. Source Not confirmed: The guide's descriptions of the ReStore and St. Vincent de Paul stores are the county's summaries of the electronics and appliances they take, not full donation policies, so a mattress refusal is not established in those organizations' own words
- Washington County, Wisconsin publishes no mattress recycler. Its disposal guide names a specialist outlet for almost every other material — A&W Iron & Metal at 7588 Otten Dr., Kewaskum and American Metal & Paper Recycling at 935 Schoenhaar Dr., West Bend and 7651 Otten Dr., Kewaskum for appliances and metal, Wisconsin Communities Recyclor at 111 Wilmont Dr Unit B., Waukesha for computers, Tennies Ace Hardware for CFL bulbs, County Wide Extinguisher at 2170 Constitution Ave., Hartford for extinguishers, Liberty Tire Recycling for tires, Batteries Component at 9414 Hwy 144, Kewaskum for batteries, Refrigerant Depot at 5311 South 9th Street, Milwaukee for appliances, Veolia ES Technical Solutions at 1275 Mineral Springs Dr., Port Washington for electronics and hazardous waste — and for mattresses it names only two GFL disposal sites and two front-door removal firms. The guide does not say that a mattress is recycled anywhere in the county, and Wisconsin has no state mattress recycling program that would fund a collection site here. Source Not confirmed: Whether a mattress taken to the GFL West Bend site is dismantled for recycling or transferred to a landfill is not stated

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.
