Gainesville, FL Mattress Removal & Recycling

Mattress removal in Gainesville, FL

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 Gainesville 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 — Gainesville'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 Gainesville asks for if you use city pickup

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

   • Only residential homes serviced through the City of Gainesville's Residential Curbside Service Program are eligible for this service.
   • Items must be placed at the curb by 7 AM on your collection day and may be collected any time up until 12 PM the following day.
   • Where to put it: allow at least 4 feet of clearance between your garbage cart and any bulk waste items set out for collection.
   • Debris generated from work performed by contractors (i.e., building contractors, installers, or renovators) must be hauled off by the contractor per City of Gainesville Ordinance Ch. 27-73.11.
   • On what they won't take at the curb: No Large Miscellaneous Items – no pool tables, hot tubs, spas, above ground pools, pool covers, pool liners, diving boards, tents, canopies, camping equipment, pianos or organs.
