Mattress Removal in Milford, Connecticut

To throw away a mattress in CT, use the state's Bye Bye Mattress program for free recycling at participating transfer stations or via curbside pickup (check local town for details); if heavily soiled, wet, or infested, it must be wrapped in plastic and disposed of as bulky waste, often with a fee, through your town or a junk hauler like 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.

The cost to dump a mattress varies widely, from free (donation/some municipal programs) to $10-$50 at landfills, $20-$40 for recycling, $40-$100 for retailer pickup, or $80-$200+ for professional junk removal, depending on your location, chosen method (DIY vs. service), and if it's being recycled or landfilled. Some states/cities offer free recycling, while others charge fees, sometimes included in new purchases.

When buying a new mattress, most retailers offer old mattress removal/recycling for a fee or sometimes free, which is the easiest method; otherwise, options include bulky waste pickup, donating (if clean), or hiring a junk removal service like LoadUp or 1-800-GOT-JUNK, using the Mattress Recycling Council's Bye Bye Mattress locator, or checking local city/county programs for pickup or recycling centers.
