where can i get rid of a mattress

You can usually get rid of a mattress through your local bulky-waste pickup, a recycling center, a donation program if it’s still usable, or a junk removal service. If you’re in a rush, pickup services are the easiest option; if you want the most eco-friendly route, recycling or donation is better.

Best options

• Donate it if it’s clean, dry, and not damaged.
• Recycle it at a mattress recycling facility or local waste center.
• Book bulky-item collection through your city or council.
• Use a junk removal service for fast pickup.
• Take it to a transfer station/tip if your area allows mattress drop-off.

Quick tips

• Check whether your area has bulk waste rules before putting it on the curb.
• Ask the retailer if they offer old-mattress haul-away when delivering a new one.
• Don’t leave a mattress out illegally; it can lead to fines or complaints.
