Introduction to Mattress Removal
Getting rid of an old mattress isn’t as simple as leaving it by the curb—especially in Connecticut, where strict regulations and environmental concerns make proper disposal essential. Mattress removal is a specialized service designed to help residents and businesses responsibly dispose of old mattresses, box springs, and related bedding materials. When you schedule a pickup, a professional team arrives at your location, handles all the heavy lifting, and ensures your unwanted mattresses and box springs are transported to the appropriate recycling facilities or transfer stations.
This process is about more than just convenience. By choosing a reputable mattress removal service, you’re helping to reduce landfill waste and support mattress recycling efforts that recover valuable materials like springs, foam, and fabric. In Connecticut, where landfill space is limited and environmental standards are high, responsible mattress disposal makes a real difference. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or business, using a professional service ensures your old mattress is properly disposed of, keeping your community cleaner and greener.
Mattress Removal Services We Offer in Connecticut
CT Junk Removers handles everything from single mattress pickups to entire bedroom sets and bulk mattress loads. We work with homes, apartments, condos, rental units, and small commercial properties—including hotels—across Central and Eastern Connecticut.
Common items we remove include:
Standard twin, full, queen, and king mattresses
Memory foam and hybrid mattresses
Box springs and platform bases
Metal and wood bed frames
Adjustable bases
Futons and mattress toppers
Headboards and footboards
Our services are available for residential clients—homeowners, renters, and landlords—plus small commercial needs like inns, short-term rentals, student housing units, and hotels throughout our service area. Private entities such as hotels, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions can benefit from our bulk mattress removal and recycling services, making mattress disposal efficient and sustainable.
Our crews protect walls and floors during removal, use proper lifting techniques for heavy items, and know how to navigate the tight hallways, steep stairs, and older basements common in Connecticut homes built before modern floor plans became standard.
Need more than just the mattress gone? We can combine mattress removal with broader home cleanouts, garage and basement cleanouts, appliance removal, or hot tub removal on the same visit—saving you time and trips.
Benefits of Professional Removal
Opting for professional mattress removal comes with a host of benefits that go beyond simply clearing out space. First and foremost, it’s a hassle-free way to get rid of old mattresses and box springs—no need to struggle with heavy lifting or figure out how to transport bulky items yourself. The removal team takes care of everything, from safely moving the mattress out of your home to ensuring it’s delivered to the right recycling or disposal facility.
Another major advantage is transparent pricing. Professional services in Connecticut are upfront about costs, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many even offer free recycling for mattresses and box springs, especially when you’re replacing an old mattress with a new one from participating mattress retailers. This means you can upgrade your bed without worrying about what to do with the old one.
Environmentally, professional mattress removal supports local recycling programs and helps divert materials from landfills. By recycling mattresses and box springs, you’re contributing to a more sustainable community and reducing your environmental footprint. Whether you’re a resident or a business, professional removal is a smart, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to dispose of used mattresses and box springs—making it easier than ever to reclaim your space and do your part for the environment.

Eco‑Friendly Mattress Disposal & Recycling in CT
CT Junk Removers prioritizes mattress recycling and responsible disposal, helping keep bulky beds out of Connecticut landfills whenever possible.
Residents can recycle mattresses through local programs, and many Connecticut towns and cities participate in the Bye Bye Mattress program, which provides no-cost recycling options.
Connecticut has some of the strictest mattress disposal regulations in the country. The Mattress Recycling Council administers the statewide “Bye Bye Mattress” program, which provides residents with free recycling options and has helped achieve diversion rates exceeding 75-80% participation across the state. We work to direct eligible mattresses to recycling streams through certified recycling facilities when feasible. Residents can find drop-off locations for mattress recycling using the Bye Bye Mattress locator tool.
What typically gets recycled:
Dismantlers can recover much of the different components that make up a mattress and box spring, including wood, metal, foam, and fabric. The steel from mattress springs is usually sold to steel recycling companies who melt it down to make new products.
Component | Recycled Into |
|---|---|
Metal springs | New metal products |
Clean foam | Carpet padding or energy recovery |
Wooden frames | Particleboard |
Fabric | Insulation materials |
Mattress recycling can recover 80-95% of the materials for reuse or recycling, and many components such as foam, cotton, wood, and steel springs can be recycled.
Lightly used mattresses in good condition may be evaluated for donation through local charities or community organizations when allowed and safe, with hygiene and state regulations always guiding the decision. Other options for mattress disposal include donating to local charities, selling the mattress if it is in good condition, or giving it away to recover some cash or help others in need. Selling a mattress in good condition is a way to recoup some cash, and professional cleaning can increase its resale value.
After considering donation, there are other options for mattress disposal, such as recycling, selling, or donating, depending on the mattress's condition.
For unusable items—heavily soiled, infested, or water-damaged mattresses—we still remove them but must dispose of them as trash under local rules. You won’t be left figuring out what to do with a problem mattress.
The environmental benefit is real: reducing landfill waste, recovering materials, and supporting a cleaner Central and Eastern Connecticut for residents and businesses alike.

When to Schedule Mattress Removal (and How It Fits Our Other Services)
Life throws plenty of situations where an old mattress needs to go—and CT Junk Removers can help with more than just the bed itself.
Common scenarios where mattress removal makes sense:
Upgrading to a new mattress and needing the old one gone the same day the mattress retailers deliver your replacement. Retailers are required to offer to take back old mattresses at the time of delivery for new purchases, though you may need to pay a small fee for this service.
Preparing a home for sale and pairing mattress removal with a whole-home or estate cleanout
Cleaning out a garage, attic, or basement where old mattresses and box springs have been stored for years
Pre-move and post-move junk removal to avoid hauling old beds to your new home
Rental property turnovers and eviction cleanouts where multiple mattresses need to be removed quickly between tenants
These scenarios connect directly to CT Junk Removers’ core services:
Home cleanouts and estate cleanouts
Garage and basement cleanouts
Pre- and post-move junk removal
Rental property cleanouts for landlords and property managers
Hot tub and Jacuzzi removal
Appliance removal
Pro tip: If you’re already scheduling a pickup, consider adding other unwanted furniture, old couches, broken dressers, or appliances to the same trip. One visit handles everything, and you reclaim your space faster.
Special Considerations: Bed Bugs, Condition & Access
Certain conditions affect how mattresses must be handled and disposed of. CT Junk Removers follows Connecticut health and safety guidelines to protect our crew, your home, and the community.
Mattresses that contain bed bugs or are wet must be wrapped in plastic bags and disposed of as bulky waste for a charge, in accordance with local regulations.
Mattresses with Bed Bugs
If you suspect or have confirmed a bed bug infestation:
Disclose this when booking. Our team needs to know ahead of time.
Items may need to be wrapped or treated according to local regulations before removal.
Additional safety measures or fees may apply because of protective gear and handling requirements.
This isn’t about judgment—it’s about proper process. Studies suggest 15-20% of discarded used mattresses may carry infestations, so professional handling matters.
Heavily Damaged Mattresses
Mattresses that are heavily soiled, moldy, wet, or water-damaged usually cannot be donated or recycled through standard programs. We will still remove them and properly dispose of them according to local waste rules—you just won’t see them heading to a recycling facility.
Access Challenges
Narrow stairs? Third-floor walk-up? Basement with a tight turn? Our team is used to the layouts common in older Connecticut homes. We may ask you to clear pathways ahead of time, but we can usually find a safe, compliant way to remove even difficult mattresses from challenging locations.
The bottom line: if you have a mattress that needs to go, we can almost always find a solution.
Mattress Removal Pricing in Central & Eastern Connecticut
CT Junk Removers offers straightforward, volume-based or item-based pricing. You always see the final price before any work begins—no surprises after the mattress is already on the truck.
Factors that affect pricing:
Factor | How It Affects Price |
|---|---|
Number and size of mattresses and box springs | More items = potentially lower per-item cost |
Access and labor (stairs, distance to truck) | Difficult access may increase labor time |
Additional items (bed frames, headboards, nightstands) | Can be bundled for efficiency |
Special handling (confirmed bed bugs, extreme condition) | May require additional fees |
General guidance:
Single-item mattress pickups are often priced as a minimum load fee
Multiple mattresses or a full room cleanout may be more cost-effective on a per-item basis
Bundling with other services (like a garage cleanout or appliance removal) often saves money compared to separate visits
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees—no surprise fuel surcharges, disposal fees, or extras beyond what’s discussed before removal begins.
