Mattress removal in Middleton, MA
The Transfer Station route
The Transfer Station on Natsue Way takes mattresses and box springs for a $60 sticker per piece, on top of a vehicle sticker ($195 for the first car). A bed set is $120 in mattress stickers alone. The station is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 4 pm, and the vehicle sticker goes only to owners of vehicles registered in Middleton.
Because Middleton has no curbside service, there is no town pickup to book for a mattress, and state law has barred mattresses from the trash since November 1, 2022.
What it takes to carry one
A queen mattress will not fit in most cars, and a box spring is awkward to turn on stairs in a Colonial or Cape. A pickup bed works, but the mattress needs tying down for the drive. Rain on a mattress in an open truck makes it heavy and hard to unload.
We carry it out from any floor and take it to a licensed mattress recycler. Twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129; box springs $59, $69, $79 and $99, recycling fee included. The $159 minimum pickup applies, so a mattress and box spring together ($168 to $228 depending on size) usually clears it.
Donation options
Goodwill and Savers in Danvers take household goods, but both are selective about mattresses for hygiene reasons, so call before driving one over. Mission of Deeds in Reading takes gently used furniture and household goods; ask about mattresses before you go. A mattress with stains, tears or bed bugs is refused by every donation center, and the only legal route is recycling, either at the Transfer Station for $60 or through a hauler that takes it to a recycler. Never leave one at the end of a road or behind a store; illegal dumping is fined.
