The City of Boston requires an appointment for the collection of all mattresses and box springs. Recycling mattresses is now a state requirement. The City of Boston will not collect mattresses or box springs with your curbside trash. You must schedule an appointment for curbside pick-up.

In Massachusetts, mattress disposal costs vary by town but generally range from $20 to $80+, depending on if you drop it off (around $25-$50) or get curbside pickup (which can be $40-$75+), as mattresses are banned from landfills and must be recycled, with fees covering the cost of disassembly and recycling. Expect fees around $25 for city drop-off centers (Fitchburg, Attleboro), $40-$50 in places like Methuen, or $75+ for curbside pickup in Boston, with local programs offering subsidies or different private company options.

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.

Mattress disposal fees typically start from €20 for singles and €25 for doubles and larger sizes, plus collection fees based on your location.
