Mattress Removal in San Luis Obispo County

Old mattress and box spring leaning against the wall? We carry them out of the bedroom and take them to be recycled, not dumped.

Mattresses are hard to move and hard to get rid of. They don’t fit in most cars, and you can’t leave them on the curb.

We pick up one mattress from a bedroom, or a whole stack from a rental, hotel or dorm. Every summer we haul mattresses out of student apartments in San Luis Obispo during Cal Poly move-out.

Most of a mattress can be taken apart and used again: the steel springs, foam and fabric. That’s why we take them to mattress recycling.

What we haul on a mattress pickup

What we can't take

We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, medical waste or other hazardous waste. San Luis Obispo County residents can drop those off at no charge at the county’s household hazardous waste facilities (IWMA drop-off info). Not sure about something? Text us a photo.

How much does mattress removal cost?

We price by space. How much of our 12.5 cubic yard trailer will your stuff fill? A full trailer holds about 6 pickup truck loads. Your price covers the loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. We tell you the price before we start, and there’s no charge if you change your mind. One mattress and box spring take up a small part of the trailer. Add the bed frame or other junk to the same trip and it’s often the best deal.

What can change the price:

Where your stuff goes

Every mattress we remove gets recycled. We take them to Bye Bye Mattress drop-off stations. Bye Bye Mattress is the mattress recycling company, and it has stations at the local landfills, like Chicago Grade Landfill and Cold Canyon Landfill. There’s even one at Brookside Thrift Shop, and one at ASAP Movers in Santa Maria. All the mattresses from our 36-room hotel cleanout in Avila Beach went to ASAP Movers to be recycled.

Bed frames that are metal go to SA Recycling. Good frames and furniture go to local thrift stores.
