Garland weekly brush and bulky goods collection: bed frames and box springs
FreeBed frames are bulky goods.
Who qualifies: Residences with City of Garland sanitation service.
How to schedule: No appointment. Brush and bulky goods are collected every week from the front curb on the same day as your green trash cart. Set bulky items out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before and by 7 a.m. on collection day, in separate piles at least 4 feet apart: brush, bulky goods, appliances, and bagged leaves and grass. Residents can also haul bulky waste free to the city Transfer Station at 1434 Commerce St.
Limits: Weekly, resident-generated only. Construction and demolition waste from your own project may be set out 4 times per calendar year. Glass must be boxed.
Set-out: Between the sidewalk and curb in the front yard (never the alley), not under power lines or branches, 4 feet from mailboxes, boxes, and other piles, with no cars parked in front.
Donation pickup in Garland (usable bed frames and box springs)
FreeDonation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call the program before scheduling.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Garland: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering bed frames and box springs, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

Garland, Texas (#93 nationally) is in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and operates one of the most generous bulk programs in the country: weekly brush and bulky pickup from the front curb on the SAME day as regular trash collection. This is genuinely unusual nationwide, most cities offer bulk monthly, quarterly, or twice annually. Garland Sanitation also operates Hinton Landfill and a free Transfer Station. Customer service: (972) 205-3500 at 1434 Commerce Street. Holiday curbside service is mostly unaffected (only New Year’s, Thanksgiving, and Christmas trigger one-day delays). Find your collection day and bulky pickup using the MyGarland address lookup tool. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Garland residents.
The Garland rule for bed frames and box springs: Bed frames are bulky goods.
Program basics: Weekly, resident-generated only. Construction and demolition waste from your own project may be set out 4 times per calendar year. Glass must be boxed. Between the sidewalk and curb in the front yard (never the alley), not under power lines or branches, 4 feet from mailboxes, boxes, and other piles, with no cars parked in front.
What the city will not take: Contractor-generated waste, household trash bags, paint, propane tanks, and household chemicals. Tires and electronics are not brush and bulky goods.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Garland Environmental Waste Services: Brush and Bulky Goods, City of Garland: Accepted and Unaccepted Materials (brush and bulky). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why bed frames and box springs are different from ordinary bulk. The frame problem is mostly logistical: beds come apart into pieces, and bulk programs differ on whether a disassembled bed is one item or five. Some count the bundle as one if it is tied together; some count each piece. Metal frames can be folded flat and tied.
Three mistakes that get bed frames and box springs left at the curb:
Paid options cover box springs in states where free drop-offs are inconvenient and large platform or storage beds that need breaking down.
Self-haul to a transfer station or mattress recycler
Free to $25 per pieceBox springs are accepted at transfer stations for a per-piece fee in most areas and free at state program drop-offs in CA, CT, and RI. Disassembled frames fit in a car.
Tie box springs to a roof rack only if you must; they catch wind.

How much does paid bed frame removal cost in Garland?

Can I put a bed frame out for bulk pickup?
Yes in nearly every city. Disassemble it and tie the pieces together so the bundle counts as one item. Metal frames can also be folded and taken to a scrap yard free.
Is a box spring treated like a mattress?
In most cities, yes. Box springs follow the same bulk pickup rules as mattresses, including plastic wrapping where required and separate appointments in some cities. In Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, box springs are covered by state mattress laws.
Which states have mattress and box spring laws?
California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island run Bye Bye Mattress recycling programs funded by a fee on new purchases, with free drop-off sites. Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal in November 2022 and requires recycling. Oregon has enacted a program as well.
Can I donate a box spring?
Rarely on its own. Most programs only accept a box spring paired with a clean, like-new mattress. Metal frames in good condition and complete wood frames are much easier to donate.
