Mattress removal in Santee, 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 Santee 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

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

  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.

Santee and California mattress disposal rules

Booking with us? You can skip this part. Everything below is for handling it yourself — Santee'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. What Santee asks for if you use city pickup

    These are Santee'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 six (6) items per pickup per address.
    • Their accepted list is acceptable items include: sofas, chairs, washers, dryers, toilets, etc. — it doesn't name mattresses either way, so ask before you put one out.
    • On what they won't take at the curb: non-acceptable items include: tires, batteries, paints, oils, construction debris, chemicals of any kind, Freon, rocks, sand, gravel, dirt, logs, carpet, hazardous, or medical waste.
