Mattress removal in Waukesha, WI

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 Waukesha 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.

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

    • Bulky items should be placed at the end of the driveway or on the front curb for pickup, including for properties with alleys.
    • Eligible properties are limited to setting out 5 appliances, bulky items, or other items per pickup; 15 items in a month; and 25 items in a year.
    • Bulky items are not automatically included with garbage collections and need to be scheduled with Johns Disposal.
    • Common examples of bulky items are sofas, tables, mattresses and box springs, and other oversized trash items. 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: additionally, if an item is deemed too heavy, too large to fit in the truck, or dangerous to move, it can be denied pickup.
