Why Braintree will not take your mattress

Mattresses and box springs are on the state waste-ban list, and Braintree's pages say so in three places. The curbside page lists Mattresses/Box Springs among items that cannot be collected, the Recycle Center page says mattresses cannot be accepted, and the town's 2026-2027 calendar says they are banned from disposal by the state. A mattress left at the curb will not be picked up.

The town's mattress page sends residents to private collectors, and the town's flyer tells you to arrange scheduling and payment directly with a company, naming Hand Up, South Shore Recycle (617-842-2434) and Willards Disposal (617-770-4503).

HandUp curbside through the SSRC: $50 per unit

The town flyer for the South Shore Recycling Cooperative and HandUp Mattress Recycling lists a complete mattress and box spring recycling service for $50 per unit, with pickup at your home. A mattress and a box spring count as two units, so a set is $100. Pickups are scheduled regularly rather than on demand, so book early if you are on a deadline. Reserve at HandUp's CurbCollect page or call 774-271-8744.

If you can wait for the next route, have the bed outside where the booking says, and wrap it if the weather is wet.

JUNKRUN: from inside, any day, price texted first

We take a mattress or box spring out of the bedroom, down the stairs and onto the trailer, so you do not have to drag it to the curb or wait for a route. Prices: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129. Box springs are twin $59, full $69, queen $79, king $99. The Massachusetts recycling fee is included.

The minimum pickup is $159, so a queen mattress and box spring together are $188. If a bed frame, dresser or old couch is going too, add them to the same visit: the frame is $109 and a regular dresser is $99. For one lone twin mattress, the HandUp route is cheaper if you can wait.
