Mattress removal in Wilmington, MA
The town route: Casella at $25
Call 1-800-227-3552 (1-800-CASELLA) or 978-535-6312, pay by phone, and you are told which day to set the mattress at the curb. The fee has been $25 per mattress or box spring since October 15, 2024; it was $11 before. Each box spring counts as its own item, so a bed set costs $50.
The town's mandatory mattress and textile page treats mattresses as recycling, not trash. Do not set one out without an appointment; the pickup is only on the day you are given.
When JUNKRUN fits better
Our price is by size: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129, and box springs $59, $69, $79 and $99. The recycling fee is included, and the crew carries it from the bedroom. The $159 minimum pickup applies, so a single twin costs $159 unless you add other items.
That makes the town route cheaper for one bed. Choose us if you need it out fast, if the bed is upstairs in a split-entry, or if you also have a dresser, frame or old couch to go.
Keeping it clean and dry
A mattress set out the night before in a wet Boston-area fall will be soaked by morning, and a wet mattress is heavier and harder to recycle. Put it out only on the assigned day. If it has bed bugs, bag it and tell whoever is picking up.
Savers does not list mattresses among accepted donations, so a charity drop is unlikely; call 978-658-4930 before trying. If the mattress is still in the plastic cover it came in, keep that on until the pickup; it helps keep it dry and clean for the recycler. If you are replacing a bed, ask the store delivering the new one whether it takes the old one away.
