Mattress removal in Stoneham, MA

The town route through Casella

Stoneham sends mattresses to curbside pickup through Casella. Call 1-800-950-9293 to schedule it. The town says a special recycling charge applies but does not publish the amount, so ask the price before you book. The service is open to residential trash customers only. The Massachusetts disposal ban on mattresses took effect November 1, 2022.

Set the mattress out by 7 a.m. on the day Casella gives you. Wrapping it in plastic helps keep it dry, but do not leave it out for days: October rain soaks foam and ticking, and a wet mattress is heavier and harder to recycle.

What we charge and what is included

Our price depends on size and includes the Massachusetts recycling fee: twin $89, full $99, queen $109 and king $129. Box springs are $59, $69, $79 and $99 in the same sizes. Because the minimum pickup is $159, a single twin is billed at the minimum; two or more bed pieces usually clear it. A queen mattress and queen box spring come to $188.

We carry from a bedroom, down a Cape's narrow stairs or out of a basement bedroom, and we take the bed frame at $109 if you want it gone at the same time.

What to do before the mattress leaves

If the mattress is clean and dry, ask the buyer or retailer first, since stores delivering a new bed will often take the old one. Donation groups rarely accept used mattresses, and Habitat's ReStore lists mattresses as not accepted. Bed bug infested mattresses should be sealed in plastic and you should tell whoever collects them. Stoneham's town page does not list a drop-off for mattresses at Stevens Street, so the curbside call is the only town option. If you want the mattress gone on a set day, texting a photo with the size is the fastest way to get a firm price and a date.

Getting a mattress out of a Stoneham home

  1. Check the size

    Twin, full, queen or king decides the JUNKRUN price. Box springs are priced separately.

  2. Pick a route

    Casella at 1-800-950-9293 for the town pickup, or text us a photo for a flat price.

  3. Bag it

    Wrap the mattress in plastic if it is going to the curb; skip this if we are carrying it from inside.

  4. Be home or leave a path

    We need clear stairs and a door. You do not need to move it outdoors.

Quick answers

Can I take a mattress to Stevens Street?

+

The town's pages list metal, white goods, electronics and yard waste there, not mattresses. Use the Casella curbside route.

Why is there a recycling charge?

+

Mattresses are broken down for metal, foam and fiber because the state banned them from landfills and incinerators.

Do you take a mattress topper?

+

Yes, as part of a pickup. Tell us when you text.
