Mattress Removal
Othoniel's Junk Removal Service picks up and hauls away old mattresses and box springs of any size, open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, including same-day pickups when scheduled early enough. Mattresses are bulky and awkward to move alone — we handle the loading and hauling for you.
California law — the Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act, known as the "Bye Bye Mattress" program — requires mattresses sold in the state to be recycled rather than landfilled through a statewide recycling structure. [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: whether this business specifically routes collected mattresses through the Bye Bye Mattress program before stating this as a business practice — the law existing statewide doesn't automatically mean this specific business participates.]
Mattresses don't compress the way soft furniture does, so a single mattress or a mattress-and-box-spring set often takes up more truck space than its size suggests — that's factored into how it's priced separately from smaller furniture items.
What's Included
- Twin, full, queen, king, and California king mattresses
- Box springs and foundations

What's Not Included

How Pricing Works
Mattress removal is typically priced per item or as part of a larger volume-based pickup if you're clearing out other furniture at the same time. Call for a free quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recycle mattresses instead of sending them to a landfill?
California's Bye Bye Mattress program requires statewide mattress recycling infrastructure. [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: whether this business routes mattresses through that program specifically — do not treat this answer as final until confirmed.]
Can you pick up a mattress and box spring together?
Yes — we routinely remove mattress and box spring sets together in one visit.
Do I need to move the mattress to the curb myself?
No — our crew handles the removal from inside your home, including navigating stairs and hallways.
Is same-day mattress pickup available?
Usually, if you call early enough in the day — we're open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and will work you in when the schedule allows.
