Typical mattress disposal cost

$95 – $150

A national range, not a quote. Your actual prices come from local pros bidding on your job.

Trying to get rid of an old mattress in your city? You are not alone — mattresses are one of the hardest household items to dispose of properly.

Most municipal trash services will not take a mattress from the curb because of bulk rules, and leaving one out can bring a fine.

Why mattress removal costs what it does

Landfill disposal fees keep climbing, and a mattress needs a truck plus at least one pair of hands. Prices still vary a lot between companies, which is exactly why comparing quotes is worth the five minutes.

What changes the price

Size matters — a king costs more to haul than a twin — and so does access. A mattress coming down three flights without an elevator takes longer than one waiting in the driveway.

FAQ

Mattress Disposal — common questions

How much does Mattress Disposal cost?

Most people pay $95–$150. That is a national band, not a quote — the real number depends on how much there is, how easy it is to reach, and what local pros bid.

Can I get a price without an on-site visit?

Yes. Post the job with a photo and vetted local pros bid on it, so the quotes reach you before anyone drives out. The national chains price by truck volume and only give a firm number once a crew arrives.

Will my city take it for free instead?

Often, yes — most cities collect bulky items at the curb, though limits and booking rules differ a lot. Check your city before you pay anyone.

Can I put a mattress out with the trash in your area?

Most municipal services will not take one from the curb under their bulk rules, and an abandoned mattress can bring a fine. Some cities run a paid bulk pickup you have to book weeks ahead; a scheduled removal is normally faster.

Does a king mattress cost more than a twin?

Yes. Size drives both truck space and how many people it takes to move it, so a king sits at the top of the range and a twin near the bottom. A box spring counts as a second item with most pros.

Are mattresses actually recycled?

Often, yes. Steel springs, foam and timber can all be separated and reused, and some states run dedicated mattress recycling programs. Pros take them to a recycler where one is within reach rather than straight to landfill.
