Gaithersburg, MD 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, Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station in Derwood takes mattresses, and you'll need a truck. Gaithersburg will also take it with large item pickup, but you have to book it — households can receive one (1) collection per address per month on your regular recycling day, with a limit of twelve (12) collections in a calendar year. 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, Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station at 16101 Frederick Road, Derwood, MD 20855 takes mattresses, open 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday (both entrances) and 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday (use Commercial and Truck entrance only). The Mattress and Box Spring Recycling program is located in the Upper Lot of the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station across from the Household Hazardous Waste Program area. It's in Derwood, so you'll need a truck and the time to get there.

Yes — households can receive one (1) collection per address per month on your regular recycling day, with a limit of twelve (12) collections in a calendar year. The service can be scheduled on any one of your regular recycling days. One (1) collection per address per month. A few things to know: items must be clearly labeled “Bulk Pickup” or placed in labeled containers; items must be placed at your street curb by 7 a.m. on your appointment day; items placed away from your residence or in common areas will not be collected. Public Works provides bulk pickup collection by appointment only. 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 Gaithersburg in the booking form.
