Mattress Disposal Near You, Priced Before We Lift
One mattress or a houseful, we carry it out, strip the room, and get it off your hands.
What Mattress Disposal Includes
Mattress disposal is a crew showing up, carrying the mattress — and box spring, if there is one — out of the bedroom, and taking it away instead of leaving it curbside for weeks. It works whether it's one mattress or every bed in the house.
- Mattresses, any size
- Box springs
- Adjustable bed bases
- Mattress-and-frame sets
- Bunk & daybed mattresses
- Crib mattresses
Swapping an old mattress for a new delivery
Clearing every bedroom in a full move-out
A rental turnover between tenants
Who Books Mattress Disposal
Homeowner with a new mattress coming
The old one has to be out before delivery, and most delivery crews won't haul it away.
Renter moving out
A mattress that isn't worth moving to the next place.
Landlord doing a turnover
A unit that needs to be bed-free before the next tenant walks through.
Parent clearing a kid's room
An outgrown crib mattress or twin bed swapped for something bigger.
Property manager
Several units' worth of old mattresses cleared on the same visit.
How Long Mattress Disposal Takes
One mattress, or a mattress and box spring together, is about as quick a job as we run — it's bulky but light, so it's carried out fast. A whole house of bedrooms, or a rental turnover with multiple units, takes longer simply because there are more pieces to carry, not because any one of them is difficult.
- Single mattress
- The quickest visit on our schedule — carried straight out and loaded.
- Mattress and box spring
- Counted as two pieces but still a fast, single-stop job.
- Whole house or rental turnover
- Every bedroom's worth of mattresses cleared in one longer visit.
How Pricing Works
A mattress prices more on size and how many pieces you have than on weight — a king takes up a lot more of the load than a twin, and a mattress-and-box-spring set counts as two pieces even bundled together. Because mattresses are bulky but not heavy, a tight stairwell or hallway turn adds more handling time than it adds actual weight.
Size class
A twin and a king are close in weight, but the king is a lot bulkier to load.
Sets vs singles
A mattress and box spring together count as two pieces, even when they're picked up in one trip.
Carry path
Awkward turns in a hallway or stairwell slow the carry down more than the mattress's actual weight does.
Recycling route
A clean, dry mattress can go through the county's mattress recycling program, often a lower-cost path than one that has to go straight to the landfill.
Send a photo, get a fixed price back, and there's no obligation to book from there.
Mattress Disposal vs Renting a Dumpster
A mattress takes up a lot of a dumpster's volume for how little it weighs, and California's recycling program for mattresses only works if the mattress actually gets sorted for it — something a mixed dumpster load skips entirely.
| Factor | Mattress Disposal with a crew | Renting a dumpster |
|---|---|---|
| Space | One mattress, picked up and gone — no bin footprint at all. | A single mattress can eat up a big share of a bin's usable volume. |
| Recycling | Clean, dry mattresses route through the county's mattress recycling program. | Tossed in with everything else, a mattress in a dumpster usually just goes to the landfill. |
| Handling | We carry it out — no dragging it down a hallway or stairs yourself. | You still have to get the mattress from the bedroom to the bin on your own. |
| Timeline | Same-day or next-day is often possible. | Delivery, fill time, and pickup add days to weeks. |
For just a mattress, a dumpster rarely makes sense — you'd be renting a whole bin for one bulky, light item. It only starts to make sense if the mattress is a small part of a much bigger, longer clearout that already needs the bin.
What We Can and Can't Take
We take
- Mattresses, any size
- Box springs
- Adjustable bed bases
- Bunk & daybed mattresses
- Crib mattresses
- Mattress-and-frame sets
We can't take
- Hazardous waste
- Paint & chemical containers
- Solvents
- Asbestos
- Tires
- Medical waste
- Propane tanks
Paint and household chemicals aren't part of a mattress pickup — those go through PaintCare or the county's hazardous waste program, while the mattress itself is routed toward the county's dedicated mattress recycling site instead of a landfill.
Where Your Load Actually Ends Up
A mattress in good, dry condition goes through the county's dedicated mattress recycling program, where it gets broken down into steel, foam, fiber, and wood instead of taking up landfill space whole. One that's too wet, moldy, or falling apart to process that way goes to the landfill instead.
Recycled
Clean, dry mattresses broken into steel, foam, fiber, and wood at a dedicated facility.
Landfilled
Mattresses too damaged, wet, or contaminated to run through the recycling program.
Box springs
Processed the same way as mattresses, through the same recycling stream when condition allows.
How to Get Ready for Mattress Disposal
- Strip off sheets and bedding before we arrive.
- Let us know if the box spring is going too.
- Clear a path from the bedroom to the door.
- Flag any stairs or tight hallway turns ahead of time.
- No need to bag or wrap it — we handle it as is.
None of this is required — it just means a faster carry once we're there.
Mattress Disposal Near Me — How Our Coverage Works
Mattress pickup near you means the crew comes to your bedroom door, not a drop-off yard you'd have to haul the mattress to yourself. We're set up by coverage area rather than one central location, so it's worth checking your specific address instead of assuming based on your city.
A quote request with your ZIP on it is enough for us to confirm coverage before you book anything.
Where We Offer Mattress Disposal
San Diego is the metro we currently run mattress disposal in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take a stained or torn mattress?
Yes, condition doesn't stop us from picking it up.
Can you take the mattress and box spring as one job?
Yes — they're usually picked up together and counted as two pieces in the same visit.
Do mattresses actually get recycled, or do they just go to the landfill?
Where they're clean and in good enough shape, they route through the county's mattress recycling program rather than straight to the landfill.
What if I only have one crib mattress or a single twin?
That's a normal job for us — a single small mattress is priced the same way as a bigger pickup, just smaller.
Do you offer mattress pickup near me even for just one mattress?
Yes — a single mattress is a normal job for us, and we cover the county by area rather than a fixed radius. Share your ZIP with your quote request and we'll confirm.
