Mattress Removal in Everett, MA

How the Everett mattress program works

Go to the Collector's Office on the first floor of City Hall, 484 Broadway, and pay in cash: $70 for the first piece and $45 for each additional piece. The clerk gives you a pickup date, a sticker and a plastic bag for each piece. You bag the mattress, put the sticker on it and set it at the curb on that day. The limit is 3 mattresses or box springs per pickup. The program follows the state's mattress disposal ban, in effect since November 1, 2022, which stops mattresses from going in the trash. Mattresses are also on the city's list of items excluded from holiday bulk pickup, so the overflow week will not take them.

When JunkRun is the easier route

The city route works if you can get to City Hall during office hours with cash and wait for a date. It is harder from a third floor, with a king mattress that will not turn on the landing, or when a tenant is moving out in three days. JunkRun prices include the state recycling fee: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129, with box springs at $59 to $99. Pickups carry a $159 minimum, so a bed set with a headboard or a dresser fits in one stop. Retailers will sometimes take the old one when they deliver a new one, so ask before you buy.
