Getting rid of an old mattress doesn’t have to mean sending it straight to a landfill. Pickup Kindly picks up mattresses and box springs of any size and routes them through eco-friendly recycling — keeping bulky, slow-to-decompose material out of landfills.
Due to health and sanitation regulations, most charities cannot accept mattress donations — this is standard across the donation industry, not specific to Pickup Kindly. Here’s what we do instead:
Your mattress and box spring are picked up just like any other item — no extra steps for you
Materials are separated for recycling wherever a facility is available — steel springs, foam, and fabric components
Any portion that cannot be recycled is disposed of responsibly, not dumped illegally
All sizes accepted: twin, full, queen, king, and California king
Because mattresses are not donation-eligible, this service does not include a donation tax receipt. If you’re donating other items in the same visit, those items are still receipt-eligible.
Final pricing depends on volume, item condition, and access. View our full Pricing Guide for the complete item-based fee schedule.

Mattresses are notoriously bulky and difficult to landfill efficiently — they take up significant space and don’t compress well. When mattresses are broken down properly, materials like steel springs, foam, and fabric can often be separated and recycled rather than buried whole. Choosing pickup-and-recycle over curbside disposal meaningfully reduces landfill burden.
Nearly all charities decline mattress donations due to health and sanitation regulations — this is an industry-wide standard, not a Pickup Kindly policy.
It’s transported for recycling wherever a facility is available; components that can’t be recycled are disposed of responsibly.
