Mattress Removal in Staten Island, New York

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 Staten Island pick up mattresses?

Junk removal in Staten Island starts at $79 with Dropcurb. NYC DSNY offers free bulk pickup through 311, but waits of 5-10 business days leave unwanted items on the curb for up to two weeks — not ideal on Staten Island's suburban streets where neighbors notice.

City program details: NYC DSNY bulk pickup. Request through 311 app or call 311. Free for residents. Wait: 5-10 business days. Items must be placed curbside by 6 PM the evening before your scheduled collection day.

NYC's DSNY handles free bulk pickup through 311, but the 5-10 business day wait creates prolonged curbside eyesores. Staten Island lacks the density-based pickup frequency of Manhattan or Brooklyn. Taskrabbit junk haulers start at $40/hour but pricing is unpredictable. LoadUp starts at $79 per item. 1-800-GOT-JUNK has a dedicated Staten Island office charging $150-$600+.

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

DSNY bulk pickup is free — and takes 5-10 business days.

Free sounds great until your old couch sits on the curb for two weeks in Tottenville or Great Kills. Staten Island's lower pickup frequency compared to Manhattan means longer waits, and 475,000 residents sharing the system creates seasonal backlogs that stretch well beyond 10 days.

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.
