Mattress Removal in Carlock, Illinois

Call 3-1-1 and request Bulky Item Pick Up Service. The City will pick up oversized items including furniture, major appliances, and mattresses, for free. For refrigerators and freezers pickup, the doors must be removed before setting them out.

The best way to get rid of a mattress is to recycle it through local programs, use your waste hauler's bulk pickup, get a retailer take-back, donate if gently used, or hire a junk removal service, with recycling being eco-friendly as much of it can be repurposed into carpet padding, insulation, etc., especially in places like California with mandated programs. Check your city/county website (e.g., CleanLA for LA County) or resources like Bye Bye Mattress for drop-off sites or pickup info.

Items must be intact. Other electronic materials such as small household appliances (toasters, blenders, coffee makers, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, lamps, and stereo equipment) can be thrown away in the garbage if they cannot be donated for reuse or recycled through other entities.

To dispose of a mattress in St. Louis, you can schedule a bulk pickup with your waste hauler (like WM), hire a junk removal service (LoadUp, Mattress Disposal Plus), donate if in good condition, or potentially dismantle it for recycling metal/wood. Check your city or waste management's website for specific bulk item rules and collection schedules, and consider options like LoadUp for curbside or in-home pickup for easy haul-away.
