Mattress Disposal · Connecticut
Mattresses are bulky, floppy and hard to fit in a car, and in Connecticut they aren’t supposed to go out with regular trash. The state runs a mattress recycling program, but you still have to get the mattress to a participating drop-off site. 1-800-Mr-Junker picks up mattresses and box springs from any room in your home and makes sure they’re recycled.
We remove mattresses and box springs of every size from bedrooms, basements, apartments and dorm-style rentals across Connecticut. You get an upfront price, we carry it out, and the mattress is recycled. Call 1-800-675-8653 or book online.

- Mattresses of every size, from crib to California king
- Box springs and foundations
- Memory foam, hybrid and innerspring mattresses
- Futon mattresses and sleeper-sofa mattresses

Mattress Disposal Rules in Connecticut
Connecticut has a statewide mattress recycling program that keeps mattresses out of landfills and incinerators. Rules for curbside pickup vary by town, and many don’t take mattresses with regular bulky waste. Instead of figuring out your town’s rules and finding a way to haul it yourself, let us pick it up and handle the recycling. Our guide to mattress and appliance disposal in Connecticut has more detail.
How Mattress Pickup Works
- Book. Call or book online. Tell us how many mattresses and box springs, and where they are.
- Get your price. We confirm an upfront price before we start.
- We carry it out. Our crew removes the mattress from any floor, including tight staircases.
- We recycle it. Mattresses are recycled for their steel, foam, fiber and wood.
Mattress Removal Cost
A single mattress is a small pickup with a minimum charge. Adding a box spring, bed frame or other items to the same trip is often the best value, since pricing is based on truck space. See our pricing page.
