Give & Go accepts mattress donations. Donation is only worth attempting if the mattress is genuinely resaleable: clean, dry, structurally sound and free of stains, tears and any sign of pests. Most charities turn away anything that fails those tests, and a rejected donation usually means a second trip, so call ahead and describe the condition honestly before loading it into a vehicle.

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.

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.
