Mattresses can be challenging to dispose of due to their size, weight, and the specific recycling or disposal requirements in many areas. Their bulky size and heavy weight can make them difficult to maneuver through doorways, down stairs, and into a suitable vehicle for transportation. Not to mention, unless you have an enclosed truck, strapping down a mattress properly to avoid it flying off during the drive to the dump is its own skill. All in all, attempting to remove a mattress on your own can lead to injury or even property damage.
Disposing of a mattress is not as simple as leaving it on the curb for regular waste pickup. Many landfills and waste management facilities have specific regulations and fees associated with mattress disposal due to the unique materials and construction of mattresses.
Whether it’s a foam mattress or an innerspring mattress, the combination of foam, fiber materials, metal coils, and even gels require unique disposal practices. Improperly discarded mattresses contribute to environmental problems and as a result, their disposal is regulated by the state and federal government. Improperly discarded mattresses can result in steep fines.
Keeping up with current mattress removal and disposal laws and regulations is time consuming and unnecessary for the average homeowner or business owner. A professional hauling service will be able to remove and properly dispose of a mattress for you, allowing you to check that task off your list and get on with your day.
GO4 Junk Removal provides same day and next day hassle-free mattress removal and disposal services to hundreds of happy customers every year.
