Mattresses don't last forever. As we've all experienced, the time comes when you need to purchase or replace a mattress. In the US we buy 36 million mattresses a year. The EPA estimates that we throw away about half that many at 18 million mattresses each year. Whether your kid has outgrown their bed or you're treating yourself to a new deluxe mattress, let Carolina Junk Pros take care of all your box spring and mattress removal and recycling needs.

How Much Does Mattress Removal Cost?
Solitary mattress removal is one of our cheapest services. In fact, under the right conditions, we will even pick up a mattress at prices below our minimum job price. However, pricing is ultimately determined by factors such as quantity, item type, size, disassembly, and the overall complexity of the job. Whatever your needs, we aim to deliver efficient service that meets your needs while respecting your budget.​​​

Bedbugs, Infestations, etc.
Yes, we will take mattresses with bedbugs, infestations, and other biohazards (blood, urine, etc.). However, these removals will be at a greater cost than standard pickup as extra precautions and steps will be necessary during the removal. If we are picking up a mattress with bedbugs or other notable hazards please tell us during the initial call. If we come to the job site and find and discover we were not forewarned - the service will likely be terminated.
​
How Quickly Can You Come?
If one of our teams is in your area and we have the truck space or flexibility within our schedule, same day services are possible. However, for the most part, piano removal can be completed within 24-72 hours after you call or text.​​​

Recycle, don't waste!
Carolina Junk Pros prioritizes sustainability and community support. Unlike other companies, we do not trash everything. Unfortunately, nearly all donation centers and thrift stores do not take used mattresses. However, they will take adjacent accessories such as cribs and bed rails. Mattresses are taken to the county landfill where they can be responsibly recycled and disposed of.
​
How Are Mattresses Recycled?
Mattresses and box springs are split open and each layer is removed. All of the materials are then divided and arranged according to kind. The main product created with the recovered foam padding is carpet underlayment. Fabric and other fibers can be utilized to make industrial oil filters, furniture, and soundproofing applications. The metal springs and frames are recycled and turned into scrap metal to create new appliances and a variety of other goods. Wooden box spring frames are shredded and used for things like mulch and alternate fuel sources
​
Sadly only about 19% of matresses are actually recycled. That leaves tens of millions of mattresses that are not disposed of in the most eco-friendly way. Dispose with Carolina Junk Pros and help us make a difference.
