How to Dispose of Mattress in Houston, TX
Houston lists mattresses and box springs as junk waste. Eligible curbside addresses get heavy trash every other month (up to six curbside heavy-trash collections per year). Look up your day in HTX Collects / the city service lookup. You can also take mattresses to a Neighborhood Depository (typically Tue–Sat; confirm hours) up to four times per month with matching Texas ID + Houston utility bill/lease.
