The Short Answer

Mattress Disposal in Denver: A Set Is $149.

A mattress and box spring together fit inside the $149 minimum for the first 2 cubic yards, and there is no extra mattress fee. After that it is a flat $75 a yard, so extra beds or the rest of the bedroom are simple math.

Before You Pay Anyone

The Free and Cheap Options, in Short.

A mattress is one of the few things with real free routes. Use one if it fits. This page is for booking a pickup, so here is the short version, checked September 2026; confirm with each source before you count on it.

  • Buying a new one? Ask the store first. Denver Mattress lists a mattress removal service as an add-on to a delivered order, shown at $0 when we checked.
  • On Denver city trash? Large Item Pickup comes every nine weeks on your trash day, and the mattress and box spring must be bagged and wrapped. The rules are in our Denver large item pickup guide.
  • Can you drive it there? Spring Back Colorado in Commerce City recycles mattresses for $40 a piece at drop-off.
  • Hoping to donate it? Rarely possible. Habitat for Humanity ReStore lists mattresses among the things it does not accept, and most charities say the same.

Suburban city programs, Spring Back pickup fees, store haul-away and what each one costs are compared in the mattress disposal cost guide. Sources: Denver Large Item Pickup and Habitat ReStore donation FAQ.

Where Your Mattress Goes

We Don't Recycle Mattresses. Here's Who Does.

With us, mattress disposal in Denver, CO is simple: your mattress goes to an STS transfer station, where mattresses are taken with no extra fee. We do not use a mattress recycler, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. If recycling matters most to you, the place is Spring Back Colorado, a nonprofit in Commerce City. Here is how the two compare for one queen set.

Spring Back Colorado

  • Recycles every mattress and box spring it takes
  • Drop-off at 4975 Pontiac St, Commerce City, no appointment: $40 a piece, so $80 for a queen set
  • Pickup adds a transportation fee, $60 inside the 470 loop up to $90 in the mountains
  • The mattress must be outdoors at ground level; its drivers do not come inside
  • No residential pickups on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday; wet mattresses are refused or cost more

Denver Junk Solutions

  • Goes to the STS transfer station, not a recycler
  • $149 for the set, carried from the bedroom
  • Stairs are $25 a flight; no bagging, no ground-level staging
  • Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, Sunday by appointment
  • Wet or stained is fine; bed bugs usually are too, if you tell us first

So the honest rule: if you can get the mattress outside and recycling is the point, Spring Back is the better call, and its pickup inside the 470 loop comes to about the same money. If it is upstairs, soaked, or has to be gone before the new one arrives, that is what we are for.

Apartments, Stairs and Landings

The King Around the Stair Landing.

A queen weighs less than it feels, but it folds the wrong way on a switchback stair, and a pillow-top king with a split box spring is two awkward trips. That carry is the whole reason to hire it out: no folding it into a hatchback, no roof straps on 6th Avenue, no dragging it across the carpet.

In an apartment, reserve the elevator if the building has one; an elevator is not a flight. If management wants a certificate of insurance, ours is on file and goes out the same day during business hours. If you cannot be home, a lockbox code or a key left with a neighbor works.

Every Size

Twin to California King, and the Whole Bed.

Size does not change the plan, and the bed it sat on goes in the same trip.

Twin and Twin XL

Kids' beds, guest rooms, bunks, dorm mattresses.

Full and Queen

The most common swap. Old set out, new one in.

King and Cal King

Pillow-tops and memory foam, split box springs.

Box Springs

Standard or split, both halves in one load.

Bed Frames

Metal frames, platforms, slats, rails.

Headboards

Upholstered, wood, or that wobbly tufted one.

Crib Mattresses

Crib and toddler-bed mattresses.

Futons and Sofa Beds

Futon mattresses and fold-out frames.

Clearing the whole bedroom? The dresser and nightstands ride in the same load; see furniture and couch removal.

Several at Once

Rental Turnovers, Bunk Rooms and Property Managers.

A short-term rental swapping every bed, a mountain cabin's bunk room, or a unit where the tenant left the mattress behind: several mattresses are still priced by the yard, not per piece, so three sets run about 6 yards, $449, not three times $149.

For apartment buildings and managed properties, a certificate of insurance is on file and goes out the same day during business hours, and an empty unit can be done with a lockbox code. If the turnover is the whole unit, move-out and rental turnover cleanouts cover the rest of what was left.

FAQ

Mattress Removal Questions.

How much does it cost to remove a bed and mattress?
With us, mattress disposal in Denver is simply part of the per-yard price. A mattress, or a mattress and box spring, is about 2 cubic yards, so it is $149, including the carry, the haul and the transfer station, where mattresses carry no extra fee. The bed frame and headboard go in the same trip; a king with a bulky frame can reach a half yard more, $186.50. Stairs are $25 a flight, and you approve the price on site before we start.
Does Denver Mattress take your old mattress for free?
Denver Mattress lists a mattress removal service as an add-on to a delivered order, shown at $0 when we checked in September 2026. Confirm it at checkout and strip the bed before delivery. If you are not buying a new mattress, or the old one is not in the same room, we carry it out for $149.
Can I dispose of a mattress myself?
Yes. Spring Back Colorado at 4975 Pontiac St in Commerce City takes mattresses and box springs for recycling with no appointment, weekdays 7:30am to 4pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm, for $40 a piece. Denver lists private transfer stations that take mattresses for a fee. With Denver city trash, one can go out on Large Item Pickup day, bagged and wrapped.
Do you recycle mattresses?
No. Your mattress goes to an STS transfer station, where mattresses are taken with no extra fee. We do not use a mattress recycler. If recycling matters most to you, Spring Back Colorado in Commerce City recycles them.
Can you carry the mattress down the stairs or out of an apartment?
Yes, that is the job. We carry it from the bedroom, down the stairs, through the hallway and out to the truck, with straps and a dolly for heavy sets. Stairs are $25 a flight, and an elevator is not a flight. If the building wants a certificate of insurance, we send it the same day during business hours.
Will you take a mattress with bed bugs?
Usually yes, if you tell us first. We bag it before it goes on the trailer so nothing else is exposed. If it is part of a larger infestation, get a pest control company in first, and we haul what they tell you to throw away.
Do you take box springs and bed frames too?
Yes. Box springs, metal and wood frames, headboards, footboards and slats go in the same trip, priced by the yards the whole bed fills rather than piece by piece.
Can you remove several mattresses at once?
Yes. Rental turnovers, bunk rooms and property managers are priced by the yard, so three sets run about 6 yards, $449. A certificate of insurance is on file for apartment buildings.
Can you come today?
Sometimes. A mattress set is a quick stop, so text a photo early and we will tell you honestly whether today is open. It is never guaranteed. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and Sunday by appointment.
Do I need to be home?
If the mattress is inside, someone needs to let us in, or you can leave a lockbox code or a key with a neighbor. If it is already in an open garage or on the porch, we can pick it up while you are out.
