Inglewood, CA Mattress Removal & Recycling

Mattress removal in Inglewood, CA

Booking takes about a minute. Pick your items and a pickup day, put the mattress out that morning, and we'll load it and take it away. Most of our Inglewood pickups are curbside, so there's nothing to wrap and no trip to make.

From there it goes to our local recycling facility, where our team takes it apart by hand. The foam gets baled for carpet padding, the steel springs go to scrap processors, and box-spring wood gets chipped. Here's the whole process if you want to see it.

How it works

1. Book online.

   Pick your items and a pickup day. Takes about a minute, and you see the price before you confirm.

2. Put it at the curb.

   Leave it out on your pickup day. No bagging, no wrapping, no plastic required.

3. We arrive.

   Our team shows up in your window and texts you when they're about thirty minutes out.

4. We recycle it.

   Your mattress goes to our local recycling facility and gets taken apart by hand. You'll get a confirmation once it's done.

Inglewood and California mattress disposal rules

Booking with us? You can skip this part. Everything below is for handling it yourself — Inglewood's rules, the fees and the drop-off options. If we're doing the pickup, the regulations and the recycling are ours to deal with: you leave it at the curb and we take it from there.

1. California already paid for your mattress to be recycled

   California is one of four states with a mattress recycling law, and you paid into it when you bought the mattress — $18.00 per unit on every mattress and box spring sold in the state. That's what makes drop-off free: in the program's own words, "drop off your old mattress at no additional cost at participating locations".

2. Buying a new mattress? The shop has to take the old one

   If you're having a new mattress delivered, California law requires your retailer to offer to take back your old mattress at no additional cost. The retailer has up to 30 days to take back your old mattress, and they can turn it down if it's a health or safety risk. Worth asking before you pay anyone — including us — to haul it away.

3. What Inglewood asks for if you use city pickup

   These are Republic Services' requirements, not ours — they apply if you're putting the mattress out for the city rather than booking a pickup with us.

   • You have to book it first — they need to know at least the day before your service day by 12pm (noon).
   • Bulky items include: furniture (chairs, sofas, mattresses and rugs), water heaters, refrigerators, small household appliances and electronic waste, such as televisions, computers, cell phones, and other items with electronic plugs. are on the accepted list, so the mattress itself is not the problem — the booking is.

   The city's own pages disagree on this one. One says at least the day before your service day by 12pm (noon); the city's Waste Collection page says at least 24 hours in advance of your pickup. Worth the phone call before you put it out. the second page
