Get Rid of a Mattress or Couch in Palm Coast
Five ways, from free city pickup to done-for-you.
City rules checked Nov. 11, 2026.
The quick answer
In the City of Palm Coast, the cheapest way is free bulk pickup: set the mattress or couch at the curb on your second trash day of the week. The catch is you have to get it to the curb yourself.
More details
1. Free city bulk pickup
- When: your second trash day of the week. Mattresses, couches, chairs and other furniture count as bulk.
- How much: up to 3 cubic yards a week, about one couch plus a chair or a mattress set.
- Timing: put it out after 6 pm the night before, and by 6 am.
- Cost: nothing extra; it's part of your city service.
Not in the city? Unincorporated Flagler County (Waste Pro, 386-586-0800) has been limiting bulk to two items a week. Flagler Beach handles big items as special pickups. Call Sanitation at 386-517-2017; the city asks that large furniture be broken into pieces one person can carry.

2. Donate it (if it's in good shape)
Flagler Habitat for Humanity runs two ReStores that take donated furniture and sell it to fund local homes:
- Palm Coast ReStore: 5 Hargrove Grade
- Bunnell ReStore: 2 W. Moody Blvd.
Their crew has picked up furniture donations in the past. Call 386-586-6180 first to ask about pickup and whether they'll take your piece. Mattresses are often harder to donate than couches, so ask before you haul one over. Only donate things that are clean, with no stains, tears or pests.
3. Ask for haul-away when you buy a new one
Buying a new mattress or sofa? Many stores will take the old one away when they deliver the new one, sometimes for a small fee. Ask before you pay, because it's much easier to arrange at checkout than afterward.
4. Drive it to the landfill yourself
Flagler County has no public dump. The nearest public landfill is Volusia County's Tomoka Landfill in Port Orange. A pickup truck normally costs $8, but out-of-county loads pay double ($16), and so do loose loads. Bring a tarp and straps. Details: Flagler County dump guide and Volusia County landfill guide.
5. Have it carried out for you
If the mattress is upstairs, the couch won't fit through the door the way it came in, or you just shouldn't be lifting it, that's what we do. We carry it out from any room, load it up, haul it away and sweep up after. Redoing the room? We can also hang the new TV; see TV mounting.

Common questions
Will Palm Coast pick up an old mattress?
Yes. Set it out on your second trash day of the week as a bulk item, up to 3 cubic yards a week, at no extra charge.
How do I get rid of a couch?
Curbside on your second trash day for free, donate it if it's in good shape, or have it carried out if you can't move it yourself.
Can I donate a used mattress?
Maybe. Call Flagler Habitat for Humanity at 386-586-6180 to ask before you bring one. Couches and other furniture are usually easier to donate.
What if the couch won't fit through the door?
Couches often went in before a door frame, railing or new flooring was added. We take legs and cushions off, angle it out, and only take it apart as a last resort.
