To get rid of a mattress in Leander, start with Clawson. Ask about bulk pickup. You can also pass a good one on or book paid removal. A landfill drop-off is another choice. Do not assume your normal trash fee covers it.
1. Ask Clawson about a mattress pickup
Leander uses Al Clawson Disposal. The city says large items are handled case by case for an extra fee. Call 512-930-5490 before setting one out.
Clawson’s Bag Tag Program lists these mattress tag counts at $4.99 per tag:
| Mattress size | Tags | Tag cost only |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | 7 | $34.93 |
| Full | 9 | $44.91 |
| Queen | 11 | $54.89 |
| King | 13 | $64.87 |
These are tag counts multiplied by the posted tag price, not a final quote. The program lists a 50-pound item limit and a cap of 15 tags per address each service day. Rules can vary by location. Ask how they apply to your mattress and box spring. Check tax and other fees. Buy tags by 4 PM the day before your normal pickup.
2. Find someone who can still use it
A dry mattress with good support may have more life. Try a local free group. Post the size, clear photos and an honest note about stains or wear. Agree on a pickup time.
Do not pass on a mattress with pests, mold or a strong smell. Before trying a charity, ask if it takes used mattresses. “We take furniture” is not a yes for every bed.
3. Book help with the carry-out
Buying a new bed? Ask the store for a haul-away quote before delivery. Check whether it includes a box spring and stairs.
Ex-Mattress offers pickup in Leander for $115 for one approved item at one address. Inside removal and outside pickup have the same base price. Extra items and any tax are shown before you send a request. You pay at pickup.
Send photos first. Small stains and light dirt may be okay. We look for dry mattresses with no tears, deep dips, mold, pests or strong smells. Good mattresses are cleaned and resold. Reuse or recycling is not guaranteed for every item.
Request mattress pickup in Leander. Send the request by 5 PM Central for a reply that day; later requests get a reply the next day. We confirm after review. A reply does not promise pickup that day.
4. Check the Hutto landfill before driving
Williamson County Landfill is at 600 Landfill Road, Hutto. Call 512-759-8881 for your full load price, mattress fee and hand-unloading hours. Ask about a tarp and safety vest. Plan for disposal; do not assume mattress recycling.
How to dispose of a mattress in Leander without a wasted trip
Do not count on a cleanup event. Leander’s October 3, 2026 cleanup notice excluded mattresses and box springs. Check the exact event’s list each time.
- Confirm service with your full address, not just your ZIP code.
- Keep a reusable mattress dry. Do not leave it out to wait for a buyer.
- Tell your pickup team about stairs, gates and parking.
- If it has pests, tell the hauler first and ask how to wrap it.

Local sources checked November 10, 2026. Rules and fees can change. Confirm with the provider before pickup or drop-off.
