Mattress Removal in Lawrence, Kansas
Starting at $79. Additional items from $19.
You have five realistic options for getting rid of a mattress: city bulk pickup (free but slow), donation (if it's in good condition and stain-free), self-haul to the dump ($30–80), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($79, same day), or traditional junk removal ($150–600+). Most used mattresses can't be donated due to hygiene regulations, which makes disposal the main challenge.

Does Lawrence pick up mattresses?

City program details: Special Item Pickup (city form or 785-832-3032). Frequency: On request. Wait: varies by routing. Fees: limited bulk pickup included in monthly solid waste fee.
Lawrence residents can request bulky-item pickup through the City of Lawrence using the Residential Special Item Pickup process.

What happens to your mattress after pickup
Mattresses are recycled at licensed facilities where steel springs, foam, and fabric are separated and processed individually. Springs are melted down for scrap steel, foam is shredded for carpet padding or industrial use, and clean fabric is repurposed. Mattresses in good condition (no stains, no structural damage) are donated to local shelters and charities when possible. Items that can't be recycled or donated are disposed of at permitted solid waste facilities.
