Mattress Removal in Hazel, Kentucky

The best way to get rid of a mattress is to recycle it (using Bye Bye Mattress or Earth911), donate it if in good condition (Salvation Army, shelters), schedule a bulky item pickup with your city or waste hauler, or have the retailer haul it away when delivering a new one; check local rules first, as illegal dumping is harmful and costly.

To dispose of a mattress in Kentucky, you generally schedule a bulk pickup with your city/waste hauler (often requiring plastic wrapping, especially for bugs), take it to a local landfill/transfer station (check fees/rules), donate it if usable (Habitat ReStore), or hire a junk removal service like Rumpke, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, or Mattress Disposal Plus. Rules vary by city (Louisville, Lexington, Covington have options) and haulers (like Rumpke), so always verify requirements for wrapping and scheduling first.

Yes, Rumpke takes mattresses for bulk pickup, but they must be fully wrapped and sealed in heavy-duty, sealable plastic (like a mattress bag) to prevent bed bug spread, and you usually need to call ahead (48 hours) to schedule the large item pickup, treating the mattress/box spring as one bulk item.
