Old mattress dead-weight in the garage? Box spring that won't fit in your car? An apartment turnover with three sets to clear before the next tenant? Point to where it sits — upstairs, in the shed, behind the fence — and our crew carries it down and out. Then we **send it to a mattress recycler** instead of burying it in a landfill.

Mattress & Box Spring Removal

## Every Kind of Mattress, Gone the Same Day

Mattresses are the single most awkward thing in your house to get rid of. They're too big for the car, banned from the curb, and King County transfer stations charge a handling fee and cap how many you can drop in a day. So they end up leaning against the garage wall for months.

We take that whole problem off your hands. One crew, one trip, no staging required — you don't drag anything to the curb. We take:

- Mattresses — twin, full, queen, king, California king
- Box springs & foundations (all sizes)
- Memory-foam, hybrid, innerspring & latex
- Adjustable bed bases & bed frames
- Crib & toddler mattresses, futons, sofa-bed mattresses
- Old headboards & the rest of the bedroom set

**Bed bugs or a wet, stained mattress?** Tell us on the call — we bag and handle contaminated units to a separate protocol so nothing spreads on the way out.

What Actually Happens Next

## What Happens to Your Mattress After We Haul It

Most haulers drive your mattress straight to a transfer station, pay the handling fee, and it goes to the landfill. A mattress doesn't belong there — the steel springs trap air so it won't compress, and coils tangle and jam the landfill's compactors. So instead of burying it, we route it to a mattress recycler, where it gets taken apart piece by piece. A typical queen set is about 65 pounds of material, and almost all of it has somewhere better to go:

~40%

🔨

#### Steel Springs

~25 lbs per set

The recycler strips the innerspring coils and box-spring wire clean; the steel goes to a scrap yard, where they're melted down and become new steel.

-> Scrap steel, remelted

~18%

🧩

#### Polyurethane Foam

~12 lbs per set

Foam and padding get shredded and re-bonded into new carpet underlayment — one of the only post-consumer foam recyclers on the West Coast is right here in Kent.

-> Carpet-pad rebond

~15%

🧶

#### Fabric & Fiber

~10 lbs per set

The quilted cover and cotton batting are baled as "shoddy" fiber — the toughest stream to place, but it's diverted from the landfill wherever a buyer exists.

-> Shoddy fiber / insulation

~27%

🪵

#### Wood Frame

~25 lbs per set

The box-spring's kiln-dried wood frame gets de-stapled and chipped into biomass hog fuel for regional boilers instead of rotting in a fill.

-> Biomass hog fuel

~250,000

**mattresses are landfilled in King County every year** — roughly 85% of everything thrown out, because there's no major mattress recycler operating in the county. That's the gap we're built to close. Every set we route to the recycler is one that doesn't get buried.

Real Reviews

Answers

## Mattress Removal FAQ

Do you take the box spring too?

Yes — box springs, foundations, and bed frames come with the mattress at no separate trip. The wood frame is broken down for recycling and the steel wire goes to scrap.

Can you remove a mattress from a 2nd- or 3rd-floor apartment?

Absolutely. Walk-ups, tight stairwells, narrow halls — that's the job. You point to the mattress; our crew navigates it down and out. Common in Renton, Tukwila, and Kent apartment turnovers.

Will you take a mattress with bed bugs or stains?

Yes. Tell us before we arrive so we bring the right protective gear and bag it on the spot — contaminated units are handled to a separate protocol so nothing spreads through your home or our truck.

Can you do it the same day?

Often, yes — we run trucks across South King County seven days a week. Text a photo or call in the morning and we'll tell you the soonest window we can hit.

Do you actually recycle the mattress, or just dump it?

We route your mattress to a recycler that takes it apart into its material streams — steel springs to scrap, foam to carpet-pad rebond, wood frame to biomass — instead of sending it to the landfill, where roughly 85% of King County mattresses end up.

Do I have to drag the mattress to the curb first?

No. That's the whole point of full service — leave it exactly where it is. We do every bit of the lifting and carrying.

What does mattress removal cost?

We have a $99 minimum, and we price the rest by how much room the load takes in the truck — labor, transport, and disposal always included. We give you a firm price in person before we start, so there's no bait-and-switch phone quote. Text a photo to (253) 722-4285 for a fast estimate.
