We’ve donated gently used good quality mattresses over the years to family and friends, and last year we donated one that was only a year old to a family in our son-in-law’s church. We’ve also paid to take some old mattresses to the dump as that was the only option available for a fee. I know some cities have a free Big Dump Day to dispose of old mattresses and other bulky items that fit in the back of a pickup by showing a utility bill. That’s how we disposed of a 60-year-old mattress that belonged to my mom and dad after my mom passed away 6 years ago. -

Our local Vincent St Paul takes our unwanted mattresses. Also on the Next Door neighborhood website people will request a need for unwanted mattresses and there are always many people who respond to fill the need. Neighbor helping neighbor. Love that.

Even our local "Good Will" won't take bedding as it can be gross. We call our resident WM and they send out a separate truck to pick up mattresses. IDK what they do after the fact.
