Full-service mattress recycling and donation
Disposing of an old mattress can be challenging due to its size, landfill space, and disposal fees. Recycling or donating your mattress is a better alternative—for both you and the planet.
Up to 80-90% of a mattress can be recycled, and many components can be easily disassembled and repurposed into new products:
- Foam Padding: Can be turned into carpet underlayment or animal bed padding/carpet padding
- Fabric / Fibers: Can be used in industrial oil filters and other textile applications
- Box springs: Can be recycled as metal scraps, used to make new appliances, and building materials
- Wooden frames: Can be shredded to produce landscaping mulch or burned as an alternative fuel source
If your mattress is still in good condition, we can also donate it to a local charity, ensuring it gets as much use as possible.

Can you take a mattress to the dump?
While possible, it’s best to donate your mattress if it’s in good condition or recycle it to reduce landfill waste.
Can you donate a mattress?
Absolutely! If your mattress is in good condition (free from stains, rips, tears, and other damage), it can be donated. Each local charity has its own donation standards, so make sure to check ahead of time.
Can old mattresses be recycled?
Yes! It’s quite common to recycle old mattresses. Approximately 80-90% of the materials can be reused and turned into new products. Some materials can even be used to create upcycled mattresses that perform just as well as brand-new ones.
What parts of a mattress can be recycled?
Steel springs, wood frames, stuffing, and fabric are all recyclable materials that can be reused in different ways. However, mattresses can’t simply be left out with your regular recycling. You’ll need to find a facility that specializes in the mattress recycling process.
If you don’t have the time or means to transport your mattress, we’ll take care of everything for you.
Why is recycling a mattress good for the environment?
Recycling your old mattress reduces the amount of landfill waste. Many mattress components take decades to decompose, making recycling an important step to reduce environmental impact. For more details, read why it's important to recycle your old mattress.
Do you take mattresses with bed bugs?
We may be able to remove mattresses that have been professionally treated for bed bugs. If you are dealing with this situation, please notify us in advance so our team can take the proper precautions during the removal. Because rules and regulations regarding bed bug disposal vary by city, we recommend checking with your local franchise before scheduling your pickup.
Are there circumstances that make dumping a used mattress illegal?
Most cities have regulations against dumping mattresses on roadsides or by dumpsters. Besides being unsightly, discarded mattresses can attract pests and harm the environment. Some cities have designated recycling facilities that residents are required to use.

Don’t just take our word for it
Real customer reviews, typos and all ;)
Markel and Will came out and were amazing! They helped get rid of some hard stuff that we had trouble moving. They were super friendly and very professional and we would love for them to come back and help again when we need to get rid of some more junk in the future.
Antonio and Kevin were great to work with! They came out on a cold snowy evening and were so professional and kind! They were quick and hauled away items from our basement and other yard items. We were calling places to compare prices and they were the most responsive and fair company!
I needed some stuff picked up late on a Friday and 1-800-GOT-JUNK was able to make it happen in less than an hour. Holly showed up and loaded the truck up in no time at all. If you need something picked up with no hassle, give them a call.
