EDCO runs a bulk collection, and it's call us to schedule a FREE curbside bulky-item pickup. What their page doesn't say is whether a mattress counts as an accepted item — plenty of cities take furniture but draw the line at mattresses — so check before you put one out. Contact EDCO for more information or to schedule a bulky item pickup. If you'd rather not find out by leaving it at the curb, we can usually come tomorrow, and ours starts at $89.

No, sorry — we can't take a mattress with bed bugs. Same goes for anything soiled with bodily fluids, badly water damaged or moldy, or contaminated with chemicals. It's not us being fussy: an infested mattress would put everything else in the truck at risk, and it can't be recycled or donated either. Normal wear is completely fine. Sagging, coffee stains, pet hair, a tired-looking cover — we pick those up every day. If you're not sure, send us a photo before you book and we'll tell you straight away.

No. Almost all our pickups are curbside — put the mattress out by 8am on your pickup day and we'll take it whether you're home or not. We'll text you when we're about thirty minutes out so you know it's been done. If you can't get it outside, in-home pickup is available for an extra fee. If something changes on the day, call (720) 263-6094 and we'll move it.

Usually the next day. Book by 5pm and we can normally come tomorrow. If you want a specific day or a tighter window, give it 24 to 48 hours — weekends fill up first. That's the real difference between us and waiting for the city: their pickup runs on its own schedule and it's call us to schedule a FREE curbside bulky-item pickup, so if you're moving out or a new bed is being delivered, the wait tends to matter more than the price.
