We Have the Best Customers!

Getting rid of an old mattress is hard. They can’t be resold and most of the donation centers in our area won’t accept them. To make matters worse, they’re too bulky for regular curbside pickup. 

The average queen sized mattress weighs 120- 160 lbs and is 80 inches long. Too big to squeeze into the back of your SUV or to lay in the 6 ft. bed on your pickup truck. Save the trouble and the time. Call us!

DIY Tips for Disposing an Old Mattress

Getting rid of a mattress can be a challenge since they are large and not easily disposable. However, there are several ways to get rid of a mattress depending on your location, local regulations, and the condition of the mattress. Here are some common methods to get rid of a mattress:

  1. Municipal pick-up: In some areas, the local government provides curbside pickup of mattresses. Contact your local municipality to find out if they offer this service and what the guidelines are for disposing of mattresses.

  2. Retailer pick-up: Some mattress retailers offer pick-up and disposal of old mattresses when you purchase a new one. Check with the retailer to see if they offer this service and what the fees are.

  3. Recycling: Mattresses are made up of several materials that can be recycled, such as metal springs, foam, and fabric. Check with your local recycling center to see if they accept mattresses and what the guidelines are for dropping them off. Note: There are few to none mattress recyclers in the Charlotte area. The closest one we know if is in Nashville, TN.

  4. Donation: If the mattress is still in good condition, consider donating it to a local charity, church, or non-profit organization. Many of these organizations accept donations of mattresses and will either use them in their programs or sell them to raise funds. Note: There are few donation centers who accept mattresses in Charlotte. You may need to check with churches and ministries. You may also try online groups like Facebook and NextDoor.

  5. Junk removal companies: Junk removal companies can also help you get rid of a mattress. They will typically come to your home, pick up the mattress, and dispose of it properly.

Remember to check with your local government to find out the regulations and guidelines for disposing of mattresses in your area. Some cities have specific rules about how mattresses must be prepared for disposal, so it’s important to follow these guidelines to avoid any fines or penalties.
