How to Dispose of a Mattress in Albuquerque, NM
Three ways to get rid of a mattress in Albuquerque, from free to fastest — with the city rules that decide whether it actually gets taken.
Booking a city pickup
Large items — couches, chairs, mattresses, bed frames — and appliances including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, stoves, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. Tires are taken up to four.
- How many items
- No more than a standard pick-up load may be collected.
- How to book
- Schedule online or call 311, at least 24 hours before your next trash collection day. Requests made inside 24 hours may be serviced case by case.
- What it costs
- Free. Appliances and other large items are collected throughout the year at no charge on residential customer request.
- Good to know
- Place items on the curb five feet clear of other carts, mailboxes, fire hydrants, parked cars, low-hanging trees and utility poles. Empty all appliances, and tape freezer and fridge doors shut.
Or have someone take it
City routes are cheap but slow, and they all assume you can get the item to the curb yourself. If it is upstairs, if it is heavy, or if you need it gone this week, a local pro is the faster answer.
