So, you bought a new mattress and box spring and they will deliver it and probably haul the old one away as part of their service.
For everyone else, mattress removal is not so straight forward.
That's when calling a local professional can save the day. Old mattresses can be bulky and difficult to dispose of properly. Old mattresses can be full of allergens, mold, dust mites and human fluids. Getting them out quickly and properly disposed of will contribute to cleaner sleeping conditions.
Never leave an old mattress on the ground outside or in storage for too long. They only attract bugs and rodents.
If you live in an apartment there are probably rules on dumping large items like a mattress or box spring in the provided on site dumpster. Some municipalities may only pick up large items on certain days or not at all.
Most junk removal jobs performed before and after a move always seem to include old mattresses and box springs. After all they are often the biggest item to move. Why haul all the dust and allergens to the new home?
Customers without a truck are not able to haul mattresses safely. Outsourcing this task to a professional junk hauler will insure your physical safety.
Don't forget to ask if the mattress is able to be recycled. Sometimes large enough loads warrant a trip to a specialized recycling center for mattresses.
