Farmington Hills, MI Mattress Removal & Recycling

The easiest way is to book a pickup with us. It starts at $89, we can usually come the next day, and you leave it at the curb and we load it up. Nothing to bag or wrap, and it goes to our local recycling facility instead of a landfill. If you'd rather haul it yourself, J Fons Metropolitan Transfer Center in Detroit is the closest drop-off site, though its page doesn't say whether it takes mattresses, and you'll need a truck. Farmington Hills will also take it with large item pickup, but you have to book it — bulk items will be picked up on your regularly scheduled collection day. Included in the monthly rate, at no additional charge. There are rules about how it has to be put out. If you're moving or a new bed is coming, that wait usually decides it.

It starts at $89. What you pay depends on how many pieces you have and whether there are stairs, and you'll see the exact total in the booking form before you confirm. No quote call, and no haggling at the door — the number you see is the number you pay. Full pricing is on our pricing page.

Book a pickup with us and yours goes straight to our local recycling facility, where it gets taken apart by hand and the foam, steel and wood are all recovered. That starts at $89, and all you do is leave it at the curb. If you'd rather drop it off yourself, J Fons Metropolitan Transfer Center at 6451 E McNichols Rd, Detroit, MI 48212 is the nearest drop-off, though its page doesn't say whether it takes mattresses. Waste haulers, construction companies, residents and miscellaneous contractors are welcome to visit J Fons Co. with their materials for disposal. It's in Detroit, so you'll need a truck and the time to get there.

Yes, and it's included in the monthly rate, at no additional charge — bulk items will be picked up on your regularly scheduled collection day. Pickup will take place between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, but times may vary from week to week. A few things to know: mattresses/box springs that are infested with bed bugs MUST be wrapped in plastic. Plastic mattress bags are available for purchase from area home improvement centers; garbage cans, bags and bundles should be placed at the curb or at the edge of the street in front of the home no earlier than 6:00 PM on the day before collection; all containers must be removed from the curb no later than 12 hours following collection. If that timing doesn't work, we can usually come tomorrow.

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 included in the monthly rate, at no additional charge, so if you're moving out or a new bed is being delivered, the wait tends to matter more than the price.
