How does mattress disposal in Los Angeles work with Dump Happy?

1. Send a photo or call.Tell us what's going (mattress, box spring, frame, anything else), the floor, and whether there's an elevator.
2. Get a firm price. We price by how much truck space your items take up, and you get the number before anything is lifted.
3. We carry it out. The crew takes it from the bedroom, down the stairs, and into the truck.
4. We handle disposal. Mattresses go to a California mattress recycler, not a landfill or an alley.

What's included in a mattress pickup?

• Carrying the mattress out of any room, including upstairs units
• Loading, hauling, and recycling fees
• Room in the same load for a box spring, bed frame, and headboard
• A firm quote before we start

A small load, from $289, typically covers a mattress plus its box spring and frame.

What if the mattress is upstairs or there are several?

Stairs, walk-ups, and tight hallways are part of the job and don't change the price. If you're clearing several bedrooms, a rental between tenants, or a whole move-out, everything goes in one visit and you pay for the space it takes up, not per piece. Bigger jobs move up to a quarter load (from $389), half load (from $569), or more. See our pricing page.

Getting rid of the box spring and frame too? See our box spring and bed frame disposal guide.

Do you recycle the mattress?

Yes, we handle it. Under California's mattress recycling law (SB 254), mattresses are meant to be broken down and recycled, not landfilled. We route every mattress and box spring we pick up to a California mattress recycler, where the steel, foam, fiber, and wood are separated and reused. Read where your old mattress actually goes or our California mattress disposal guide.

How soon can you pick up a mattress?

We offer same-day or next-day pickup when the schedule allows, and scheduled pickups for a time that works around a delivery or move-out. Calling earlier in the day gives you the best chance at a same-day slot. Compare timing in our mattress pickup in Los Angeles guide.

How much does it cost to dispose of a mattress in LA?

Mattress removal with Dump Happy starts at $289 for a small load. That price includes the crew, the haul, and recycling. The full breakdown is in how much mattress removal costs in LA.

Can I leave a mattress on the curb in Los Angeles?

A mattress abandoned on a curb, sidewalk, or alley counts as illegal dumping under California Penal Code 374.3, and LA County fines can reach $10,000. Writing "free" on it doesn't change that; see why a "free" sign doesn't make curbside furniture legal. Booking a pickup keeps it off the street entirely.

What about a mattress with bed bugs?

We can take it. Seal it in a mattress bag, label it, and tell us when you book so the crew can load it separately. Our bed bug mattress disposal guide walks through each prep step.
