Do you take mattresses?

Yes. A mattress or a box spring is $55 each as a scheduled bulk pickup. Call 508-822-2208 before you put it out. A wet or soiled mattress needs a quote over the phone.

Yes. A mattress is $55 and a box spring is $55, each priced separately, collected as a scheduled bulk pickup. Call 508-822-2208 and tell us what you have before you put it out.

A wet or soiled mattress is a phone quote rather than a flat price, because it has to be handled differently.

Why you cannot just leave it at the curb. Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal in November 2022. They cannot go in a landfill or an incinerator, so every one has to be taken to a facility that pulls it apart and recycles the steel, foam and fabric separately. That handling is what the $55 covers, and it is why no hauler in this state can take a mattress as ordinary trash.

What helps: keep it dry. Bring it into the garage or wrap it in plastic if rain is forecast the night before. A soaked mattress costs more to handle and sometimes cannot be recycled at all.

Full per-item prices are on bulk item pickup.
