How to get rid of a mattress in Weston, WI.

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.

• Village of Weston Code Chapter 66, Solid Waste, sets the rules a resident is held to. Under Sec. 66.111(c) and (d), neither the recycling cart nor the garbage cart and overflow bags may be placed at the curbside collection point "sooner than the night before the day of collection, and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection", and the cart and any uncollected solid waste must be removed from the collection point "within 12 hours after collection"; carts are prohibited from being placed within the roadway, and the Village is not responsible for carts struck by its snowplows. An overflow bag is collected only if it weighs less than 50 pounds and carries an overflow sticker bought from the Village. Sec. 66.111(e) lists materials that may not be set at the curb for the Village's contracted collector unless the resident has made separate arrangements at their own expense, among them metal, major appliances, tires, yard waste, used oil filters and construction waste; bedding does not appear in that list either as allowed or as barred. Sec. 66.117 bars depositing or abandoning solid waste on any street, alley, public enclosure, vacant lot, house yard or body of water except in a container intended for the purpose, and bars leaving waste in another person's container without permission. Under Sec. 66.124(c), a violation of the chapter other than Sec. 66.116 carries a forfeiture of "not less than $10.00 nor more than $1,000.00 for each violation", and a violation of Sec. 66.116, which bars disposing of recyclable materials in a solid waste disposal facility, carries $50.00 for a first violation, $200.00 for a second and up to $2,000.00 for a third or later one. Citations may be issued by the Village or the Everest Metro Police Department. Source Not confirmed: Chapter 66 neither permits nor bars setting a mattress at the curb: bedding is absent from the Sec. 66.111(e) list of materials needing separate arrangements, and absence from that list establishes nothing either way.
• The Village of Weston's 2026 Refuse & Recycling Guide reprints the Marathon County Solid Waste Department rate sheet headed "Rates & Fees" and "ALL RATES & FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE, Effective 01/01/26", and tells Weston residents the Ringle landfill at 172900 State Highway 29 is "a great resource for people to consider if they have large amounts of trash or large bulky items to dispose of". The reprinted landfill disposal block covers general wastes, furniture and mattresses, mixed construction and demolition, and bulk and household items together, with no separate per-item mattress charge. The minimum fees it prints are $35 for a load under 1,100 pounds, $20 for bin use under 5 cubic yards plus tonnage and $40 for bin use over 5 cubic yards plus tonnage; the public gate rate for loads over 1,200 pounds is $65 per ton, prorated. The site hours printed are Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 to 11:30 a.m. from April through November, closed Sundays, holidays and Saturdays from November through April, with the scale office at 715-446-3101. Payment is by cash, check, or credit or debit card with a 3 percent fee. Source Not confirmed: These figures are the county rate sheet as reprinted in the Village's own 2026 guide. The county's own Rates and Fees sheet is served as a file download rather than a web page and could not be read directly to confirm them.
• Not an option: Donating a mattress to the local Habitat for Humanity store is not an option. The Village of Weston's 2026 Refuse & Recycling Guide reproduces Habitat for Humanity's donation chart, which sorts items into two columns headed "YES PLEASE! Donations Accepted" and "No Thank you. Please Donate Elsewhere". Under Furniture, the accepted column lists wood furniture such as tables, chairs, shelving, buffets and dressers, together with bed frames and headboards; the refused column lists upholstered furniture, infant and toddler furniture, entertainment centers and "Mattresses & box springs". The chart adds that Habitat "has the right upon visual inspection to refuse items that will not sell well in our store or are suitable for recycling". A bed frame or headboard may be donated; the mattress and box spring may not. Source Not confirmed: The guide's reproduction of the chart does not carry a legible street address for the Habitat store, so no facility is recorded for it.
