Your Mattress Disposal & Hauling Options
City bulk pickup (often free)
Many cities collect mattresses with scheduled bulky pickup: Raleigh ($35 Bulky Load for up to 3 queen mattresses), Cary ($15 first item via 311), Wake County Convenience Centers (up to 2/day at Sites 1, 2, 4, 7, 11), Charlotte (scheduled), and Houston heavy trash. [2]
Mattress recycling programs
The Mattress Recycling Council runs Bye Bye Mattress in states with mattress recycling laws, and lists recycling facilities elsewhere. [3]
Donate
Only mattresses in good, usable condition can be donated; donation centers have stricter condition rules than recyclers. [1]
Paid pickup
LoadUp carries it out from any room; final price depends on size, item count and stairs. Disclose bed bugs at booking. [1]
