What We Take
Mattress Disposal
Mattresses and box springs take up more room than their weight suggests. Count them separately and check the handling rules first.
Plan the load
Plan for bulky, springy volume.
Mattresses do not pack down like boxes or loose debris. Tell us how many mattresses and foundations you have, along with any bed frames, furniture, or household clutter going with them.
What to sort before you call
- Twin through king mattresses
- Box springs and foundations
- Foam mattresses
- Bed frames
- Headboards and footboards
- Bedroom furniture
Material rules vary.
Mattress acceptance and preparation can vary. Keep items dry and confirm whether wrapping, separation, or another disposal route is required.
Ask about your material
Choose by volume
The right bin starts with the real pile.
Count the bulky pieces, note anything unusually heavy, and estimate how much floor space the loose material takes up. Then compare the four container sizes or call for help narrowing it down.

Before you load.
Do mattresses need to be wrapped?
Requirements can vary. Ask before pickup or loading so you can prepare them correctly.
Can bed frames go with mattresses?
Often they are planned as separate bulky pieces. Note whether the frame is wood, metal, or upholstered.
How much space do mattresses take?
They occupy broad, awkward volume and may not lie flat once other debris is in the container. Count each mattress and box spring separately when estimating.
