Kalamazoo, 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. Kalamazoo will also take it with large item pickup, but you have to book it — bulk trash pick-ups occur on the given day of the month for your address in March, June, September, and December. City residents can take advantage of four free pick-ups for bulk trash items that are too large for regular household trash. 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, Republic Services at 3432 Gembrit Circle, Kalamazoo, 49001 is the nearest drop-off, though its page doesn't say whether it takes mattresses — its fee is on scheduled days without incurring a fee. Proof of residency in the City of Kalamazoo is required.

Yes, and it's City residents can take advantage of four free pick-ups for bulk trash items that are too large for regular household trash — bulk trash pick-ups occur on the given day of the month for your address in March, June, September, and December. Curbside Bulk Trash pickup isn’t available for properties in the Central Business District/Downtown or for multi-family buildings with five or more units. You get Up to 7.5 cubic yards of material per collection. A few things to know: if you have any items that are infested with bedbugs or cockroaches (or anything else), please deface them, cover them with a clear bag, and label them (for the safety of the crew and so no one else picks them up); you can place items at the curb starting at 7 a.m. the day before your scheduled pickup. Make sure your items are out no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day; if your items are not collected for any reason, they must be removed from the curb within two days following the completed pickup in your area; these times are set by city ordinance so make sure you follow them- items placed at the curb too early or left out too late are considered a nuisance and may result in enforcement action without notice. You do not need to request bulk trash collection- just place your items out for collection during the scheduled collection in your area. 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 City residents can take advantage of four free pick-ups for bulk trash items that are too large for regular household trash, so if you're moving out or a new bed is being delivered, the wait tends to matter more than the price. You'll see live availability for Kalamazoo in the booking form.
