MATTRESS REMOVAL EDMONTON
Mattress Removal Edmonton - Fast Pickup & Disposal Service
Your old mattress has been leaning against the garage wall in Terwillegar for three months. You meant to take it to the dump but life got busy. Now it’s just sitting there taking up space, getting dirty, and you still haven’t dealt with it. We hear this story every single day with mattress removal Edmonton calls.
Last week we picked up seven mattresses from one house in Ellersie. Landlord situation – tenants moved out and left behind mattresses in every bedroom plus a couple in the basement. All of them stained, some broken, none of them worth keeping. We loaded them all in 15 minutes and the property manager could finally get the place ready for new renters.
Mattresses are awkward to move, impossible to fit in most cars, and most people don’t want to touch someone else’s old one anyway. That’s exactly why we exist.
Why Mattresses Are Such a Pain
A queen mattress is like 60 pounds, king mattress closer to 90. Not crazy heavy, but super awkward because they’re big and floppy. You can’t get a good grip. They bend in weird ways. Try carrying one down narrow basement stairs by yourself – it’s not happening.
Box springs are even worse than mattresses somehow. They’re bulkier, they catch on doorways, and the fabric covering rips easy which makes them look even more trashy. We’ve wrestled box springs out of second-floor bedrooms in Bonnie Doon, down spiral staircases in Windermere, through tiny apartment hallways in Oliver – it’s never easy but we got it figured out.
Your car can’t fit a mattress unless you got a truck or big SUV. Even then you gotta tie it down good or it’ll fly off on the Whitemud. We see mattresses on the side of Edmonton roads all the time – somebody tried to haul it themselves, didn’t secure it right, and it ended up on the highway.
One customer in Riverbend told us he tried putting a king mattress on his roof rack. Got about three blocks before it started sliding off. Had to pull over, shove it in his yard, and call us. Saved himself maybe $75 trying to DIY it but wasted half his Saturday and almost caused an accident.
What We Remove Besides Mattresses
Mattress disposal Edmonton calls usually include box springs too. Makes sense – if you’re getting rid of the mattress you probably want the box spring gone too. We charge for both pieces but the price is fair since we’re already there.
Bed frames come up alot. Metal frames, wooden frames, platform beds, those adjustable bases – we take it all. Most people upgrade their whole bedroom setup at once, which means old mattress, old box spring, and old frame all need to go.
Pillows, bedding, old sheets – we’ll take that stuff too if you want it gone. Some people are cleaning out entire bedrooms after someone moved out or passed away. We’re not just hauling the mattress, we’re helping clear the whole room so it can be used again.
Futons are super common. Everyone buys a futon in college or their first apartment thinking it’s gonna be comfortable. Spoiler: it’s not. We’ve removed probably a thousand futons from Edmonton homes and apartments over the years. They’re heavy, awkward, and nobody ever wants to keep them once they can afford a real bed.
Crib mattresses, toddler beds, bunk bed mattresses – kids furniture comes up often. Your kids grew up, you don’t need the baby stuff anymore, time to clear out the garage or basement where it’s been sitting for five years. We’ve done mattress pickup Edmonton jobs in Summerside and Heritage Valley where it’s all kids beds and baby furniture.
Where People Keep Old Mattresses
Garages are number one. You got a new mattress delivered, you lean the old one against the garage wall meaning to deal with it later, and six months go by. Happens all the time in every Edmonton neighborhood – Millwoods, Clareview, Manning, Lynnwood, everywhere.
Basements are next. Spare bedroom in the basement had an old mattress, you upgraded it, now the old one is just laying on the floor down there or leaning in a corner. Or maybe it’s a flood situation – basement flooded, mattress got wet, it’s ruined but too heavy to haul up the stairs yourself.
We’ve picked up mattresses from some weird spots. Backyard leaning against the fence. Side of the house covered in a tarp that’s been there so long it’s falling apart. In sheds, in RV’s, in trailers. One guy in Sherwood Park had four mattresses stacked in his boat because he didn’t know where else to put them.
Bed frames come up alot. Metal frames, wooden frames, platform beds, those adjustable bases – we take it all. Most people upgrade their whole bedroom setup at once, which means old mattress, old box spring, and old frame all need to go.
Pillows, bedding, old sheets – we’ll take that stuff too if you want it gone. Some people are cleaning out entire bedrooms after someone moved out or passed away. We’re not just hauling the mattress, we’re helping clear the whole room so it can be used again.
Futons are super common. Everyone buys a futon in college or their first apartment thinking it’s gonna be comfortable. Spoiler: it’s not. We’ve removed probably a thousand futons from Edmonton homes and apartments over the years. They’re heavy, awkward, and nobody ever wants to keep them once they can afford a real bed.
Crib mattresses, toddler beds, bunk bed mattresses – kids furniture comes up often. Your kids grew up, you don’t need the baby stuff anymore, time to clear out the garage or basement where it’s been sitting for five years. We’ve done mattress pickup Edmonton jobs in Summerside and Heritage Valley where it’s all kids beds and baby furniture.
Apartment buildings and condos are tricky because you gotta get the mattress through hallways and elevators. We’ve removed mattresses from high-rises downtown, walk-up apartments in Strathcona, condos in Windermere. The building managers usually want it done quick because nobody likes looking at mattresses in common areas.
Mattress Disposal Rules in Edmonton
You can’t just throw a mattress in your regular garbage bin – the city won’t take it. Too big for curbside pickup. You’re supposed to take it to the dump yourself or arrange special pickup, which costs money and takes time.
The city does eco-stations that take mattresses, but you gotta load it yourself, drive there during their hours, unload it yourself. Lines can be long especially on weekends. And if you don’t have a truck, you’re stuck renting one or borrowing one which is a whole thing.
For mattress haul away Edmonton services, we handle all the disposal properly. We know which facilities take mattresses, we pay the dump fees, we do all the work. You just point at the mattress and we make it disappear.
Some mattresses can be recycled – the metal springs get pulled out and recycled, foam gets processed, fabric sometimes gets reused. But alot of Edmonton mattresses are too old, too stained, or too damaged for recycling. Those go to the landfill, which is just reality.
Bed Bug Concerns
People always ask about bed bugs with mattress removal. We’re careful but we’re not exterminators. If you know you got bed bugs, you should tell us upfront. We’ll still take the mattress but we’ll bag it properly and make sure it’s disposed of in a way that won’t spread the problem.
Most mattresses we remove don’t have bed bugs. They’re just old, uncomfortable, stained from years of use, or damaged. But we treat every mattress like it might because that’s the safe approach. Into the truck, straight to disposal, no stops in between.
Hotels and motels call us for mattress removal pretty regularly. They cycle through mattresses faster than residential customers. A hotel in West Edmonton might replace 20 mattresses at once when they’re upgrading rooms. We bring a big truck and knock it out in a few hours.
Landlords dealing with bed bug situations definitely call us. Tenant had bed bugs, mattress has to go, nobody wants to touch it. We get it. We’ve done bed bug mattress removals in apartments all over – Alberta Avenue, Eastwood, downtown, every area of Edmonton.
Same-Day Mattress Removal
You just got a new mattress delivered today and they won’t take the old one away. Or the delivery guys said they’d take it but they didn’t. Now you got an old mattress in your living room in Keswick and you need it gone NOW. We offer same-day mattress removal Edmonton for exactly these situations.
Call or text us before noon and we can usually get to you same afternoon. Costs a bit extra for same-day service but when you need it gone immediately, the extra $20-30 is worth it. Your living room shouldn’t be a mattress storage facility.
Moving day emergencies are common. You’re moving out of your place in Laurier Heights tomorrow, you forgot about the spare mattress in the basement, and you can’t leave it behind. We’ll come get it same-day if we possibly can.
Estate situations sometimes need fast service. Someone passed away, family is dealing with the house, they need bedrooms cleared quickly. We’ve done compassionate same-day service for families all over Edmonton when they’re going through tough times.
Pricing for Mattress Removal
Single mattress removal is usually $80-100 depending on location and access. Twin, single, or crib mattress on the cheaper end. Queen or king mattress a bit more. Box spring is another piece so if you got both, figure $150-180 total for mattress and box spring.
Multiple mattresses cost less per piece. Three mattresses might be $200 total instead of $300 if we charged full price for each. We’re already there with the truck, loading multiple pieces doesn’t cost us three times as much, so we pass savings along.
Edmonton mattress disposal pricing includes all labor, truck, dump fees, everything. No hidden charges. No extra fees for stairs or tight doorways. The quote is the quote.
We’re cheaper than renting a truck yourself. U-Haul pickup truck is like $30 plus gas, dump fee is another $20-40, and you just spent three hours of your Saturday doing it. Or pay us $100 and it’s done in 20 minutes without you lifting a finger. Easy choice.
Some companies charge by the hour which makes no sense for mattress removal. Loading a mattress takes ten minutes, why would you pay hourly? We charge by the item because that’s fair.
Commercial Mattress Removal Services
Hotels, motels, hospitals, care homes, university dorms – we do commercial mattress removal for businesses all over Edmonton. When you got 50 mattresses to remove, you need a company with big trucks and experience handling volume.
We’ve cleared out entire floors of hotels downtown when they’re renovating. Removed all the mattresses from a care facility in St. Albert when they upgraded to new ones. Cleaned out dorm rooms at NAIT and University of Alberta after school year ends.
Commercial jobs get scheduled in advance usually. We bring multiple trucks, extra crew, whatever it takes to get the job done quick. Most businesses can’t have us working during busy hours, so we do alot of commercial mattress removal early mornings or late evenings.
Property management companies with multiple buildings use us regularly. Tenant turnover means mattresses get abandoned or left behind all the time. We’re on speed dial for property managers handling dozens of rental units across Edmonton.
Donation Options for Mattresses
Here’s the thing about donating mattresses – most charities won’t take them anymore. Goodwill doesn’t take mattresses. Salvation Army stopped taking them years ago. Health regulations make it hard for charities to accept used mattresses because of hygiene concerns.
If your mattress is basically new – like you only used it a few months and it’s in perfect clean condition – maybe a shelter or charity will take it. But that’s rare. Most mattresses people want removed have been used for years and aren’t donation quality.
We’ll donate mattresses when it makes sense and we can find someone to take them. But being honest, 95% of mattresses we remove end up at disposal facilities. They’re too used, too stained, too old, or too damaged for anyone to want.
Some specialty organizations take mattresses for specific purposes – theater groups use them for props, artists use them for projects, whatever. If you got a mattress in decent shape and want us to try finding it a home before disposal, just ask. We’ll make the effort if there’s a chance.
Removing Mattresses from Difficult Spots
Basement mattresses are our most common challenge. Narrow stairs, low ceilings, tight turns – we’ve navigated every type of Edmonton basement you can imagine. Sometimes we gotta flip the mattress on its side or fold it to get it around corners.
Second floor bedrooms with narrow staircases aren’t much easier. Those old houses in Queen Alexandra and Strathcona with steep stairs and small landings – we’ve carried mattresses down from all of them. Takes two people, careful maneuvering, and patience.
High-rise apartments need elevator access. We coordinate with building management, book elevator time, and get it done during approved hours. Most buildings have service elevators for moving furniture which makes it easier. Regular elevators work too if that’s all there is.
Walk-up apartments are a workout. Third floor walkup in Oliver with a king mattress? Yeah, we’re getting our exercise that day. But we do it all the time – it’s literally our job.
