Mattresses are one of the largest pieces of furniture in someone’s home. With these items being so bulky and large, many regular trash services will not dispose of them. Which is no wonder why “how do I get rid of a mattress?” is one of the top search results when it comes to mattresses.
But don’t worry, because in the Week’s Highlight we will show you some effective ways to dispose of your old mattress.
- List your old mattress on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace: If your mattress is in decent condition, you might be surprised to know that many people might want to take it off your hands. It is not uncommon to find mattresses listed on platforms like Craigslist or Facebook. And hey, you might even be able to make yourself an extra $100 or so if your mattress is in good enough condition!
- Take your mattress to the dump: If your mattress isn’t in good enough shape to either sell or donate to someone, then you can take your mattress to the dump. Typically, landfills charge about $40 to dump off a mattress.
- Call a junk removal service: There are many junk removal services that will discard of your mattress for you. Again, there will be a fee involved with this, but this is a great option if you’re unable to transport your mattress to the dump yourself.
- Mattress Stores: If you’re looking to replace your mattress, many mattress stores offer a delivery and haul away service. Some stores charge a fee for this service, however, at Mattress Gallery Direct, our haul away service is 100% free for our customers.
