We removed over 1,000 mattresses in the last 24 months. It's a simple job that people put off because there's no simple way to do it yourself: mattress retailers charge a haul-away fee and often won't take one that isn't bagged, Chicago's bulk pickup is a 311 request with a wait, and a mattress left in the alley is a fine waiting to happen.

Springs and steel are recycled; foam and fabric go to a licensed facility. Box springs, frames and headboards ride on the same truck. And if the mattress happens to be in the garage or the alley, the crew can text you the price, take it, and send you a photo.

How Mattress Removal & Disposal Works

  1. 1

    Book a free onsite estimate

    Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.

  2. 2

    The crew gives you a firm price on the spot

    They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.

  3. 3

    Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit

    The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.

  4. 4

    All done, with a receipt to prove it

    Once everything is loaded and swept, the crew takes payment and emails you a receipt with before-and-after photos, so you can see the job is complete.

Mattress Removal & Disposal FAQs

How much does mattress removal cost?

We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew gives you one firm, no-obligation price once they've seen the mattress and the route out. Stairs, elevators and heavy pieces are all part of that estimate, so the price they quote is the price you pay. If it doesn't work for you, there's no charge.

Does the City of Chicago pick up mattresses?

Not on regular garbage day. You can request a bulk pickup through 311, but the wait can be weeks, and the mattress has to sit in the alley until then. Some suburbs allow mattresses on garbage day with a sticker, so it's worth checking your village's rules.

Do you take mattresses with bedbugs?

Once the room has been treated by a pest company, yes. We can't remove untreated infested items. After treatment, the crew bags and seals the mattress before carrying it through the building.

Do I need to bag or wrap the mattress?

No need. If it's heavily soiled or from a treated bedbug situation, the crew brings the bag.

Will you take the box spring and bed frame too?

Yes. Box springs, metal and wood bed frames, headboards and footboards go on the same truck. If a frame has to come apart to get down the stairs, the crew takes it apart on the spot; that is part of the price, not an extra charge.

Are mattresses recycled?

The steel springs are. Foam and fabric aren't recyclable in the Chicago area at the moment, so they go to a licensed facility.

Can you come the same day?

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day are available Monday through Saturday. See same-day junk removal.

Do I need to be home?

You're welcome to be there, and most people are. If the items are outside, in the garage or the alley, or the home is vacant with a lockbox, the crew can do the job without you. They'll text you before-and-after photos and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Can you take more than one mattress, or pick up from a hotel or dorm?

Yes. We regularly clear several mattresses at once for landlords, property managers, hotels and move-outs. Tell us roughly how many when you book so we send the right size truck.

Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price

Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
