Professional mattress removal for Berkeley homes and businesses

If you are replacing a bed, most retailers will offer to take the old one — for a fee, only on delivery day, and only if it is already stripped and waiting by the door. That does not work for many Berkeley households, particularly in Elmwood, North Berkeley and West Berkeley where narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception

We come when it suits you, we go and get the mattress from the bedroom it is actually in, and we take box springs, frames and bedding at the same time.

Because brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer in Berkeley, we also see a lot of mattresses that have been stored in garages and basements and are no longer in a condition anyone wants to handle. That is fine — that is the job.

Mattress Removal across Berkeley — what we typically see

Mattress Removal is not identical everywhere. These are the patterns specific to Berkeley and Alameda County.

  • Worth knowing locally: Berkeley has one of the strictest construction and demolition debris diversion ordinances in the state, so renovation loads need to be sorted for recycling rather than landfilled whole.
  • West Berkeley: narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception.
  • Around the UC Berkeley campus: we allow extra time for staging and access, and we regularly take crib mattresses and toddler beds out of properties in this part of Berkeley.
  • Elmwood: mattress removal jobs here regularly include futons and futon frames.

How mattress removal works in Berkeley

  1. 1

    Tell us how many and what size

    Mattress pricing is simple and per-piece. Call 877-536-7941 for an immediate Berkeley quote.

  2. 2

    We collect from the room

    Not the kerb. We go up the stairs, round the turn and out the door. You do not need to move it first.

  3. 3

    Wrapped where needed

    Damaged or contaminated mattresses are wrapped on site rather than dragged through the house uncovered.

  4. 4

    Recycled, not buried

    Routed through the California mattress recycling program so the steel, foam, fibre and timber are recovered.

Berkeley customers on our mattress removal

Handled my mother's house after she passed. They set aside a box of photos and her papers that we would have lost, and they never once made us feel rushed. That mattered more than the price.
Ellen W. · Berkeley, CA
Four mattresses out of a rental between tenants, collected from the bedrooms, no stairs charge like the last company tried to add on.
Omar F. · Daly City, CA
Great crew, showed up on time, worked hard. Only reason it is not five stars is I had to wait two days for a slot in the middle of summer.

Mattress Removal in Berkeley — your questions answered

The questions we are asked most often about mattress removal in Berkeley and the surrounding Alameda County area.

How much does mattress removal cost in Berkeley?
Mattresses and box springs are priced per piece, and a mattress-and-base set together is cheaper than the two booked separately. Several sets from the same Berkeley address are priced as a load, which works out significantly cheaper per piece. Stairs and upper floors are included. Call 877-536-7941 with the sizes and the count.
Why can I not just put the mattress out with the rubbish?
California prohibits sending mattresses and box springs to landfill as ordinary waste, and kerbside services will not collect them. Leaving one at the kerb in Berkeley risks an illegal-dumping citation against the property owner, which costs considerably more than removal does.
Do you take mattresses with bed bugs?
Yes, but tell us in advance so we can wrap and seal it on site rather than carrying it uncovered through the rest of your home. There is no judgement involved and no extra charge — we just need to know before we arrive.
Can you take the bed frame too?
Yes, including bunk beds and adjustable bases. Frames that will not fit through the door are disassembled on site at no extra charge. In Berkeley this comes up often because narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception
Do you collect from apartments and upper floors?
Yes, at no additional charge. Stairs and walk-ups are included in the quoted price. This matters in Berkeley, where brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer
What actually happens to the mattress?
It goes through the state recycling program where it is broken down into components — steel springs to scrap metal, foam to carpet padding manufacture, timber to biomass or mulch, fibre to insulation. Very little of a recycled mattress reaches landfill.
Do you cover all of Berkeley?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including Elmwood, North Berkeley, West Berkeley and Claremont. We also serve the surrounding Alameda County communities, so if you are just outside the city line we can almost certainly still help. Call 877-536-7941 and we will confirm in a moment.
How quickly can you get to Berkeley?
Most Berkeley jobs are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day is frequently available. Call 877-536-7941 and we will tell you honestly what today actually looks like.
