Mattress removal. Any size. Upfront price.

Mattress pickup starts around $85. Your final price depends on the mattress size, how many items you're removing, and whether you go with curbside or in-home pickup. Adding a box spring or bed frame to the same visit adjusts the total, and you'll see the exact price before you confirm anything. No fees get added after pickup.

Yes. Your Loaders can remove a box spring and bed frame in the same visit as your mattress. If the frame needs to be taken apart first, your Loaders can handle that on-site. Just add those items when you book and your price will update to cover the full job.

No. With in-home pickup, your Loaders carry the mattress out from wherever it is, including upstairs bedrooms, narrow hallways, and tight spaces. Curbside is available if you'd rather have it outside already, but it's not required. Just strip the bedding and clear a path to the exit, and your Loaders take care of the rest.

Normal wear, staining, and minor damage aren't a problem. Your Loaders can take a mattress in typical used condition without issue. If there's an active bed bug infestation, you'll need to disclose that at booking, since the mattress may need to be bagged first. Undisclosed infestations can lead to the job being declined on arrival.

Your Loaders make every effort to dispose of mattresses responsibly, including routing them to local recycling facilities when available. Outcomes depend on the mattress's condition and what recycling infrastructure exists locally, so recycling isn't guaranteed in every case. Responsible disposal is always the goal either way.

Yes. In-home pickup isn't limited to ground-floor or curbside access. Your Loaders carry the mattress out from upstairs bedrooms, apartment units, and other interior spots as standard. Pickup from upper floors or trickier access may factor into your price, shown before you confirm.

Yes, in a lot of areas. Mattresses separate into steel springs, foam, and fabric, materials that specialized mattress recycling facilities can break down and process individually. Not every region has one nearby, so whether a specific mattress gets recycled depends on what's available locally.

Most curbside trash services either won't take mattresses at all or require them wrapped in plastic first, and many cities charge fees or have specific rules for bulky item disposal. Skipping that step can mean the mattress just sits there, or you end up with a code violation notice.

A mattress can take decades to break down, largely because of the steel springs, foam, and treated fabric it's made from. That's a big part of why mattress recycling programs exist: diverting mattresses extends landfill life and recovers materials that would otherwise sit there for years.

Yes. California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island currently have mandatory mattress recycling programs, funded through a small recycling fee added when you buy a new mattress in those states. In practice, this means mattress recycling infrastructure tends to be more developed in those states than in areas without a similar program, though it doesn't change how pickup works on your end.

Donation applies to a mattress still in good, usable condition, typically going to a charity, shelter, or someone who can use it as-is. Recycling applies to any mattress, working or not, and involves breaking it down into base materials like steel and foam rather than reusing it whole. Most donation centers have stricter condition requirements than recycling does, which is part of why more mattresses end up recycled or landfilled than donated.

Sometimes, though it depends on the infestation's severity and how quickly it's caught. Professional heat treatment or specific insecticide protocols can eliminate bed bugs from a mattress in some cases, but a heavy or long-standing infestation is often more reliably solved by disposal, since bed bugs can hide deep in seams and padding that treatment doesn't always fully reach. If you disclose an infestation at booking, it can still be picked up with proper bagging.

A twin mattress typically weighs 40 to 60 pounds, while a king can run upward of 100 to 150 pounds depending on the material, memory foam and hybrid models tend to weigh more than basic innerspring. That weight difference is a big part of why larger mattresses cost more to remove: more weight and bulk means more physical effort and truck space per pickup.

Most mattresses are recommended for replacement somewhere in the 7 to 10 year range, though that varies by material and how much wear it's seen. Sagging, lumps, waking up with new aches, or visible wear are the more reliable signals than age alone, since a heavily used mattress can wear out faster than that range and a lightly used one can last longer.

Not exactly the same way, though both are recyclable where facilities exist. Spring mattresses separate fairly easily into metal and fabric, while memory foam requires different processing since the foam itself can sometimes be repurposed into carpet padding or other foam products. Facility availability for foam-specific recycling varies more than for standard spring mattresses, so outcomes depend on your area.
