Mattress removal in Oak Park, IL
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 Oak Park 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.

What Oak Park asks for if you use city pickup
These are Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS)'s requirements, not ours — they apply if you're putting the mattress out for the city rather than booking a pickup with us.
- Mattresses and box/bed springs are required to be in a plastic mattress cover and taped securely shut.
- Place trash and recycling containers out for collection no later than 7 a.m. on the morning of your collection day.
- LRS will collect one bulk item a week with two pink refuse stickers affixed to the item.
- Any bulk or additional trash items that do not fit into your green trash cart requires the use of pink refuse stickers.
- On what they won't take at the curb: items that are either prohibited by landfills or unacceptable for collection include car parts, dirt , soil, concrete, tires, motor oil, pesticides, acid, gasoline, anti-freeze, pool chemicals, automotive batteries, liquid paint and electronics such as computers, monitors and TVs.
