Mattress removal in San Bernardino, 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 San Bernardino 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.

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".

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.

What San Bernardino asks for if you use city pickup
These are Burrtec's requirements, not ours — they apply if you're putting the mattress out for the city rather than booking a pickup with us.
- You get up to 5 items each time per address.
- If you see encampments or major dump sites, report it.
- Please contact Burrtec at least one week before your regular collection day for bulky-item collection.
- Large or bulky items include but are not limited to: scrap metal, wood, old appliances, furniture, televisions, computer monitors, refrigerators or freezers, tree branches, mattresses, tires (limit 2), etc. are on the accepted list, so the mattress itself is not the problem — the booking is.
- On what they won't take at the curb: this collection does not include concrete, rock, dirt or construction/ demolition materials.
