Mattress Removal in Murfreesboro, TN
Mattresses are one of the most common single items people need hauled, and one of the most annoying to handle yourself. They're bulky, floppy, hard to grip and often won't fit in a car. Many residential trash routes won't take them curbside, and hauling one to a drop-off site means tying it to a roof or borrowing a truck.
Mattress removal is usually quick: a two-person crew carries the mattress and box spring out, wraps or bags them if needed, and takes them to a recycler or the appropriate disposal facility. Bed frames, headboards and adjustable bases can come along on the same trip.
Mattress recycling recovers steel springs, foam and fibers. Not every mattress can be recycled, particularly ones that are wet, heavily soiled or infested, but providers route them to recycling where they can.
What's typically included
- Mattresses of all sizes, from crib to California king
- Box springs and foundations
- Futons and futon frames
- Metal and wood bed frames, headboards and footboards
- Adjustable power bases (heavy, often two-person lifts)
- Bunk beds and daybeds, disassembled as needed
How a mattress removal job works
- Tell the provider the size and number of mattresses and any stairs
- Mention bed bugs or other issues up front so the crew can bag the mattress
- Crew carries the mattress and frame out, disassembling frames as needed
- Mattress is wrapped or bagged when appropriate to protect your home
- Items are routed to a recycler or proper disposal site
Mattress Removal around Murfreesboro & Rutherford County
Mattress pickups are especially common around MTSU at the end of each semester, when students and landlords turn over furnished units. Booking ahead during May and early August helps.
Rutherford County residents can sometimes bring a mattress to a county convenience center themselves, but rules and fees vary. Check with the county before you load one into your vehicle; for many people, a pickup is simpler.
Typical cost of mattress removal
Typical estimates, not quotes. These ranges reflect general market pricing to help you budget. Your independent provider confirms a firm price before any work begins.
| Job size | Typical estimate |
|---|---|
| Single mattress or box spring | $75–$125 |
| Mattress and box spring set | $100–$175 |
| Two or more sets | $175–$350 |
| Adjustable base | $100–$200 |
Pricing depends on count, size and stairs. Infested mattresses may need special wrapping, which can add a small fee. Sending clear photos of everything that's going, plus notes on stairs and distance from where a truck can park, is the fastest way to get a tight quote.

Getting ready for pickup
- Set aside anything you're keeping, ideally in one room or clearly marked.
- Remove hazardous materials such as liquid paint, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks; those generally can't go on a junk truck and belong at a household hazardous waste collection.
- Make sure there's a clear path and a place for the truck to park, and let your HOA or property manager know if they require it.
- Ask the provider about proof of insurance, how they handle donations and recycling, and whether the quoted price includes disposal fees.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take a mattress with bed bugs?

Are mattresses recycled?
When a recycler will accept them, yes. Wet or heavily soiled mattresses usually can't be recycled.
Can you take the bed frame too?
Yes. Frames, headboards and box springs are commonly included.
Is it cheaper to add a mattress to a bigger job?
