Dominic handles mattress removal & disposal in Reno and all over the Reno-Tahoe area, old mattresses and box springs included. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470 to get it on the schedule. A mattress is big and floppy with nothing to grab, and it folds the wrong way on every stair turn. Most won't fit in a car, so the old one ends up leaning in the hallway for weeks.

The frame, the headboard and the nightstand can go on the same load as the mattress, and he carries all of it out from the bedroom. The rest of a bedroom set falls under furniture removal. If you manage rentals, a tenant who moves out often leaves a bed behind. If you're clearing a spare room or a parent's bedroom, the mattress is usually the first thing in the way.

He works Mon-Sat, 24 hours, and Sunday is closed, so plan the pickup around that. Getting there is same day, most days. Once a time is set, you get a 30 minute to one hour arrival window instead of a whole day of waiting. If the new bed is due on a Saturday, text ahead and set a time for the old one.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: household junk and furniture.

Can you pick up just one old mattress?

Yes. One twin from a kid's room is a real job, and so is a king with its box spring and frame. A crib mattress or an old futon pad from the spare room counts too. He carries it out and hauls it off the same as a full truckload.

If you manage several units, a busy month of turnovers can pile mattresses up in a garage or a storage room fast. That's the same work, only longer. The biggest mattress day so far was 144 mattresses in one day, so a stack of eight from an apartment building is well within what he handles. Bunk bed and daybed mattresses from a rental go in the same count. Send the count and the sizes along with the pictures, and the quote covers the whole lot at once.

Where does an old mattress go after it's hauled away?

A worn-out mattress goes to the landfill, either the Carson City landfill or the Stead landfill. Anything from the load that's still fit to be used again goes to Goodwill first, since donation comes before the dump. A solid headboard or a nightstand from the same room is the kind of piece that can go there.

Metal goes to a scrap yard to be recycled. That covers a steel bed frame, the side rails, the bolts and an old metal headboard, even one that's bent. Whatever's left after that rides out to the landfill with the mattress.

Can you get a king mattress down the stairs?

Yes. He carries it out from any room in the home, upstairs bedrooms and basement guest rooms included, so nothing has to be dragged to the driveway first. Dominic works with a helper, Jake. A king gets tipped on its side and walked around a tight landing or through a narrow bedroom door.

The mattress comes off the frame first, and the box spring goes down the stairs after it. The frame follows once the room is clear, rails and all. When the last of it is out, he cleans up the spot where the bed sat and does a final walkthrough with you. At a turnover unit, that walkthrough is a good moment to check the bedroom off your list.

Will you take a mattress with bed bugs?

No. Anything with bed bugs or pests stays off the load. If you've had bugs in the house, say so when you send the pictures, not after the bed has been carried down the stairs. The same goes for the box spring and the frame that came with it. That saves you a wasted morning.

A bedroom cleanout can turn up a few other things he refuses on every job. Propane tanks are one, like a small camping tank shoved under the bed or in the closet. Asbestos is another. Medical or biohazard waste from a sick room gets left behind too.

How much does mattress removal cost?

A single mattress usually runs $80 to $125, and no job goes below the $80 minimum. The price is set by how much room the load takes on the truck, so a lone twin costs less than a king with its box spring and frame.

You get a quote for the whole job from a photo of the bed, or Dominic comes out for an in-person quote when the job needs one. Loading, hauling and disposal are part of that quote, and dump fees are never billed on their own. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed, like a second mattress in the back bedroom nobody mentioned. The junk removal pricing guide for Reno explains how a bigger mixed load gets priced.

Do you pick up mattresses at Lake Tahoe cabins?

Yes. He drives up to 75 miles for a job, so the lake towns are in range along with the valley.

If you own a cabin and live out of town, you can sort out the pictures and the price by text before the day is set. Send a shot of the bed and one of the stairs or the doorway it has to come through. The quote is built from the photo, so the job gets priced without you making the drive. The towns he covers around Reno and Tahoe are all listed in one place.

“Prompt, easy communication. I thought removing our broken treadmill would take an hour, but they had it out and loaded in minutes! So worth it ☺️”

Questions

Questions about mattress removal and disposal.

Is there a minimum charge for one mattress?
Yes, jobs start at $80. One mattress usually costs $80 to $125, and a king with its box spring takes more room than a lone twin, so it costs more. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470.
Do I have to bring the mattress outside first?
No. He carries it out from wherever it is in the house, stairs and all. Leave it on the bed frame if that's easier for you.
Can you take the box spring and bed frame too?
Yes. The box spring, the frame and the headboard go on the same load as the mattress. A metal frame goes to a scrap yard to be recycled.
Can you pick up a mattress today?
Same day, most days. Send the pictures early in the day and ask whether today works.
Does an old mattress get donated?
Only if it's fit to be used again. Usable pieces go to Goodwill first, and a worn-out mattress goes to the Carson City landfill or the Stead landfill.
How do I pay for mattress pickup?
Cash, credit or debit card, Venmo, Zelle or check all work. You pay the quoted price.
