Erie, PA Mattress Removal & Recycling

Mattress removal in Erie, PA

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 Erie 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.

How it works

1. Book online.

   Pick your items and a pickup day. Takes about a minute, and you see the price before you confirm.

2. Put it at the curb.

   Leave it out on your pickup day. No bagging, no wrapping, no plastic required.

3. We arrive.

   Our team shows up in your window and texts you when they're about thirty minutes out.

4. We recycle it.

   Your mattress goes to our local recycling facility and gets taken apart by hand. You'll get a confirmation once it's done.

Booking with us? You can skip this part. Everything below is for handling it yourself — Erie's rules, the fees and the drop-off options. If we're doing the pickup, the regulations and the recycling are ours to deal with: you leave it at the curb and we take it from there.

1. What Erie asks for if you use city pickup

   These are City of Erie's requirements, not ours — they apply if you're putting the mattress out for the city rather than booking a pickup with us.

   • No bulky items will be collected unless the resident schedules and receives a 6 digit confirmation number.
   • Item or items must be placed “CURB SIDE” on the night of your scheduled pick-up.
   • City of Erie says: “Please make sure the items placed on the curb are away from any vehicles parked on the street and ensure that adequate space for our equipment to pick up the items is available”.
   • For a pickup of up to 3 bulky items.
   • Setting items out without a confirmation number or at other times is considered illegal dumping and violators will receive a citation.
   • Nothing is to be out more than 24 hours prior to the collection day per City code.
   • For example: a COUCH, CHAIR, MATTRESS, LAMP, TABLE, DRESSER, etc. are on the accepted list, so the mattress itself is not the problem — the booking is.
   • Regular household refuse, except for Bulky Large Items, must be in bags or cans.
   • On what they won't take at the curb: ITEMS NOT INCLUDED in this program are: NO Large Appliances (washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, hot water tanks, air conditioners, etc.) NO Automotive Items (batteries, tires) NO Electronic Devices (televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, keyboards, printers, speakers, e-readers, etc.) NO Household Hazardous Waste (paint, oil, cleaners, pesticides, etc.) NO Construction Materials of any kind (wood: 2x4, plywood, plaster, tiles).

   The city's own pages disagree on this one. One says due to the increase in requests, pickups are being scheduled up to two weeks out; the City's 2026 Calendar & Recycling Guide says requests will be scheduled on the next available date of your regular refuse pick-up night.
