Lorain, OH 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, Lorain County Landfill in Oberlin is the closest drop-off site, though its page doesn't say whether it takes mattresses, and you'll need a truck. Lorain will also take it with large item pickup, but you have to book it — residential bulk trash will be collected every week on your regularly scheduled pickup day. 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, Lorain County Landfill at 43502 Oberlin Elyria Rd, Oberlin, OH 44074 is the nearest drop-off, though its page doesn't say whether it takes mattresses. Suggested ways to handle excess trash include private dumpster rental or taking items to the landfill at 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin. It's in Oberlin, so you'll need a truck and the time to get there.

Yes — residential bulk trash will be collected every week on your regularly scheduled pickup day. Items that by size or weight are too large to fit in the container, such as miscellaneous household furniture and appliances, may be placed next to the blue trash container on the bulk collection day. You get Up to 6 cubit meters of volume equal to an area of 5’ x 5’ x 5’ at the curbside for bulk collections and Up to (6) 35 gal bags of trash, each bag cannot weigh more than 35 lbs. A few things to know: please ensure to completely wrap any mattress, box springs and/or upholstered furniture in plastic; containers must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, but no earlier than 7:00 p.m. the night before. If you have any questions, please call 800-433-1309 for Republic Services Direct Line or 440-204-2500 Option 4. 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, 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 Lorain in the booking form.
