What mattress removal disposal involves

Getting rid of an old mattress is one of those tasks that sounds simple until you're standing in a narrow hallway holding one end of a queen-size pillow-top. Mattresses are awkward, heavy, and most curbside programs won't touch them. Junk Genius handles mattress removal and disposal throughout the Twin Cities Metro, seven days a week, with crews who do this kind of work every single day. We carry it out, load it, and get it to the right facility. Call (612) 444-5865 and we can usually get you on the schedule the same week you call.

Here's what drives the cost on a mattress job: how many you have, where they're located in the home, and whether there's other furniture or junk going out with them. A single mattress from a first-floor bedroom is a straightforward lift. A stack of old mattresses from an upper level with tight corners is a bigger job. We don't quote a flat rate online because we'd rather give you an honest number after hearing the specifics. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate. And for full property projects, check out our attic and garage cleanout service if there's more than a mattress to clear.

HOW IT WORKS

Three Steps and Your Mattress Is Gone

01
Call or Book Online
Reach out to our crew at (612) 444-5865 or submit a quick estimate request. Tell us how many mattresses you have, what floor they're on, and whether anything else is going out. We confirm your window fast, often same week.
02
We Show Up and Do the Heavy Work
Our crew arrives in the scheduled window, walks to wherever the mattress is located, and carries it out. No furniture blankets to lay, no assembly required on your end. We protect floors and walls on the way through. You point, we lift.
03
Recycling First, Landfill Last
Mattresses are not one-piece trash. Steel springs, foam, wood fiber, and fabric are all separable materials. We route mattresses to recycling facilities when available, keeping them out of the landfill whenever we can. We'll let you know how your item was processed.

RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL

We Recycle Mattress Components Instead of Landfilling Them

Most haulers drop a mattress at the nearest transfer station and call it done. We don't operate that way. Junk Genius routes mattresses to processors that separate steel springs, foam, and fiber for reclaimed use. Sixty to seventy percent of the materials we collect across all jobs get recycled or donated to local charity partners rather than going straight to a dump. That's not a marketing line. It's how we built this operation for about 15 years. If you've been hunting for where to recycle a mattress in the Twin Cities and don't want to drive across town yourself, this is the call to make. We also handle metal recycling as part of our broader responsible hauling approach.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Every Mattress Type and Size We Remove

Twin, Full, and Queen Mattresses

Standard sizes from bedrooms, guest rooms, and apartments. We navigate tight hallways, stairwells, and doorways without damage to the walls. These move fast.

King and California King Mattresses

These are the ones people rent a truck for, discover they can't fit it alone, and then call us. We've done hundreds of them. Two-person lift, proper technique, out the door.

Box Springs and Bed Frames

We'll take the whole setup. Box springs, metal frames, platform bases. If it's part of the bed you're replacing, we haul it all so you're not left with a partial pile.

Mattresses in Difficult Locations

Upper floors, basement bedrooms, apartments without elevators, storage units, location adds complexity but it doesn't stop the job. We've cleared mattresses from situations most folks would rather not tackle solo.

Multiple Mattresses at Once

Clearing out a rental property, inherited home, or doing a full bedroom overhaul? We take multiple mattresses in one trip. Bundling saves you scheduling time and often keeps the cost efficient.

Mattresses with Other Furniture

If you've got a dresser, nightstand, or couch going out the same day, we load it all together. No need to schedule two separate pickups. See our full furniture removal service for more on what else we take.

Fast and very good communication. Cleaned out some debris I have been looking at for months. Well worth the price for getting it gone quickly. Saved me a day of doing it myself. Thank you!

Sosa and Diego did a wonderful job! We ended up having more junk than we initially planned, but they were accommodating and kind. They got done very quickly but still managed to do a very thorough job. I would recommend this company.

Sosa and Diego did an incredible job on my garage. I had bought a house and the seller had left all sorts of junk in the garage including an old fridge and many mattresses. They were able to work with me to get it done fast and affordably. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future work

I had a few places come do estimates, and Junk Genius was definitely the most reasonable. They were also able to switch our day/time when we had something coming up. Big shout out to Lester and Isaiah! They were friendly, respectful of the space, and incredibly efficient!

Frequently asked questions

How do you get rid of an old mattress in the Twin Cities?

You've got a few options. You can haul it yourself to a transfer station, the South Transfer Station on 27th Avenue accepts mattresses for a fee. You can call a recycler like Second Chance Recycling. Or you can call Junk Genius and have a licensed crew carry it out of your home, load it, and route it to recycling on your behalf. Most people go with door-to-truck service because it skips the van rental and the loading problem entirely.

What is the easiest way to get rid of an old mattress?

Booking a pickup with a full-service junk removal crew is the least labor-intensive route. You don't need to bag it, move it to the curb, or rent a truck. Junk Genius crews walk into the room, carry the mattress out, and load it. The only thing you do is point to where it is. For most people with a mattress on an upper floor or in a tight apartment, this is the only way that doesn't end in a pulled back.

Can a mattress be recycled instead of landfilled?

Yes, and a good percentage of the time it should be. Mattresses contain steel springs, polyurethane foam, cotton batting, and wood components, all of which can be recovered and reprocessed. Junk Genius routes mattresses to recycling processors when available. We don't promise every mattress gets recycled, because facility capacity varies, but our default is to keep materials out of the landfill when there's a viable option.

Do you remove mattresses from upper floors and apartments without elevators?

Absolutely. Upper-floor and walk-up apartment mattress removal is one of the most common calls we get. The logistics are real, tight stairwells, 90-degree turns, no elevator, but our crews carry the right techniques to get a mattress out without wall damage or a botched corridor jam. If you've ever watched someone try this alone, you know it doesn't go well. Two trained guys who do this daily is a different situation.

How much does mattress removal cost?

It depends on how many mattresses you have, where they're located, and whether other items are going out with them. A single mattress from a ground-floor bedroom costs considerably less than five mattresses from various rooms in a two-story house. We don't publish flat rates because they're misleading, cost varies too much by job. Call (612) 444-5865 for a free estimate based on your actual situation. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

Can you haul a mattress and other furniture in the same trip?

Yes, and this is usually the smarter way to do it. If a dresser, box spring, old couch, or other furniture is going out at the same time, we load it all together. You pay for truck space, not per item, so combining a mattress with other bulky furniture is often the most cost-efficient approach. Tell us everything that's going when you call and we'll size the job correctly upfront.
