Brownsville, TX Mattress Removal & Recycling

Mattress removal in Brownsville, TX

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 Brownsville 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.

Brownsville and Texas mattress disposal rules

Booking with us? You can skip this part. Everything below is for handling it yourself — Brownsville'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 Brownsville asks for if you use city pickup

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

   • In order to help achieve recycling goals please place your brush and bulky items in separate piles.
   • Collection trucks will make only one pass through each neighborhood and will not return for items placed out late.
   • Where to put it: please do not place items within 6 feet of any obstacles such as: Building Overhangs Overhead Wires of Any Kind Parked Cars Telephone Service Boxes Gas or Water Meters.
   • Republic Services says: “The City of Brownsville kindly asks that you assist us with keeping our city clean and report any illegal dumping to 546-HELP”.
   • Residents are encouraged to place their items at the curb one week prior to their sector's scheduled pickup date.
   • Acceptable Bulky Items Chair Furniture Mattress Sofa Stove Table Washer / Dryer Water Heater are on the accepted list, so the mattress itself is not the problem — the booking is.
   • On what they won't take at the curb: Batteries Block / brick Car Parts Cardboard boxes Concrete / asphalt Construction Material Corrugated Metal Demolition Dirt Hazardous Materials Household Garbage Items containing Freon Liquids Lumber Roof Shingles Sheet rock Tires.

   The city's own pages disagree on this one. One says residents are encouraged to place their items at the curb one week prior to their sector's scheduled pickup date; the City's April 2026 bulky/brush news release says residents are encouraged to check their sector's pickup schedule online and place items at the curb shortly before their scheduled collection week begins.
