How to get rid of a mattress in Cedar Park

Quick answer

Cedar Park lists mattresses as accepted bulk items. Residents can set out up to seven extra bags or bulk items each week on their normal service day. Confirm your address and any special case with Republic Services.

Use the weekly bulk service if it covers you

The city’s bulk trash page says a second truck handles items that do not fit in the cart. It may come before or after the cart truck.

The trash collection rules say to set out by 7 a.m. Keep to the approved location next to the trash cart. For more than seven items or a special collection, call 512-215-5050 for pricing.

Count the whole set-out

The limit includes extra bags and bulky items together.

Expect a second truck

An emptied cart does not mean the bulk truck has finished.

Ask about extra service

Do not place an oversized pile and hope it is included.

If you live in an apartment or use another provider, ask your manager or waste company. A Cedar Park address alone does not prove your collection terms.

Make the pickup plan clear

I have a [size] mattress, a box spring and [other bags or items]. Does this fit my weekly service? How should each item be placed? Is any wrapping or special handling needed?

Tell Republic about pests, wet spots or sharp parts. Get instructions before handling a damaged bed. Keep it dry while you wait for the allowed set-out time.

If no one at home can help with the move, ask Utility Billing about available assistance. The city lists a disability-service contact on its bulk page; eligibility needs confirmation.

Try reuse while the mattress is still dry

A good mattress may still help someone nearby. Offer it in a Cedar Park free group or to someone you know. Show both sides, the size, age and any marks. Agree on pickup before moving it outside.

Do not pass on pests, mold or a strong smell. If you try a charity, get a clear yes for a used mattress. A group that accepts furniture may still decline beds.

Goodwill Central Texas does not accept mattresses or box springs. Before another donation trip, ask that group about your exact item. For a local handoff, use our honest listing outline.

Price the full drop-off trip

Williamson County Landfill in Hutto is another site to contact. Ask 512-759-8881 for the current whole-load price, mattress fees, box-spring treatment and unloading hours.

Vehicle charges can apply along with mattress charges. Check tarps, safety vests and any trailer rules before leaving. Compare the full trip with the weekly service already available to your home.

Need removal from your room?

If a new bed is coming, ask the store to add haul-away before delivery. Confirm the full price, carry-out, stairs and bag rules. Ask whether the box spring is a separate item.

Ex-Mattress serves Cedar Park. Your first item is $115, with the same base price inside or out. A mattress and box spring count as two items. Add each item in booking to see extra-item costs and any tax.

Book an open time and pay online or in cash at pickup. Small stains may be okay. The mattress should be dry and sound, with no tears, deep dips, mold, pests or strong smells. Unsure? Ask before booking.

We clean and resell good mattresses. We cannot promise that every item will be reused or recycled.

Common questions

Does Cedar Park bulk pickup take mattresses?

Yes, mattresses are on the city’s accepted bulk list. Check that your address has the service and follow the current rules.

How many extra items can I set out?

The city lists up to seven extra bags or bulk items per week. Count the full pile and ask how any unusual bed parts count.

Why did the trash truck leave my mattress?

A separate truck handles bulk. If collection is still missed, contact Republic rather than assuming the mattress is rejected.

Can I use the recycling cart for mattress parts?

Do not. Ask the provider or receiving site about an approved route for the whole mattress or separated material.
