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 Elizabethtown pick up mattresses?

Same-day junk removal in Elizabethtown starts at $79 with Dropcurb. In a city of roughly 31,870 residents across neighborhoods like Helmwood Heights and Indian Hills, residents often need faster pickup than county bulky-item limits and rotating brush schedules allow. Book online in about 60 seconds, set items curbside, and a local hauler handles pickup the same day.

City program details: Hardin County requires curbside trash service in unincorporated areas and allows up to 3 bulky items per household per month through Unified Disposal Partners ((270) 769-0211). Elizabethtown Public Works separately runs brush collection on a 4-week rotation for city-limits properties and accepts oversized brush at 1600 Nicholas Street.

Hardin County requires curbside trash service in unincorporated areas and allows up to three bulky items per household per month through Unified Disposal Partners. Inside Elizabethtown city limits, Public Works focuses on brush collection on a four-week rotation and sets size limits for curb placement. That leaves a clear gap when you have furniture, mattresses, or mixed household junk that does not fit county monthly limits or city brush rules. Spring and summer moving cycles around Fort Knox, Radcliff, and Elizabethtown rentals increase short-notice cleanout demand.

Dropcurb picks up mattresses same-day in Elizabethtown for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

Monthly bulky limits and rotating brush routes do not solve urgent cleanouts.

Elizabethtown residents can use county and city systems, but those systems are structured around limits and schedule windows, not urgent move-out timelines. When a landlord deadline, HOA warning, or furniture delivery date is close, waiting for the next cycle is usually not practical.

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.
