Mattress removal in Wellesley, MA

What the Wellesley RDF says

The town's trash page lists mattresses among the items that can be dropped off at the RDF. The September 2026 Recyclable of the Month flyer says to take them to the Special Waste Orange Area, Bin 13, the mattress container on the right just past the textile bins.

The same flyer says not to bring mattresses that are severely damaged, wet, twisted, soiled, moldy or contaminated with bed bugs, or mattresses with mechanical components. The RDF's own reuse rules exclude mattresses from the Reusables Area. Checked November 2026.

Who pays what

The rules charge no fee to a resident who delivers waste from their own home in a permitted vehicle they drive. The town posts no separate mattress price. If you are a landlord, a relative clearing a house, or driving a rental truck, you do not fit that rule, so call 781-235-7600 ext. 3345 before you load the bed.

Our prices by size: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129. Box springs run $59 to $99. A queen set is $188. The Massachusetts recycling fee is already in each price.

Where a used mattress cannot go

Big Brother Big Sister Foundation, the town's free home-pickup charity, takes no furniture or mattresses. New Life Furniture Bank turns away mattresses and box springs of any size.

A mattress in a wet basement or a bed with bed bugs is the case we hear most. Tell us when you text. We wrap it, carry it out and handle it so the problem does not spread to the hallway.

Getting rid of a Wellesley mattress, in order

  1. First

    Ask the store delivering the new bed whether it takes the old one.

  2. If it is dry and clean

    Bring it to RDF Bin 13 in your own permitted vehicle: Mon to Wed 7 to noon, Thu to Sat 7 to 3:45.

  3. If it is wet, soiled or has bed bugs

    The RDF will not take it. Text a photo to JUNKRUN for a flat price.

  4. Pickup day

    We carry it out of the bedroom, down the stairs and recycle it.
