Mattress pickup · Central Illinois

Mattress Removal. The one thing the trash truck leaves behind.

Most curbside trash services in Central Illinois will not pick up a mattress, so it leans against the garage wall for a year. We take mattresses, box springs, and bed frames from homes, apartments, and rentals in Jacksonville, Springfield, Beardstown, and everywhere in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. One-item pickups welcome.

Two ways to do it

Send us a photo, or toss it in a dumpster with everything else.

A mattress on its own is a quick pickup, and full-service is the only path that makes sense for one or two of them. If the mattress is part of a bigger cleanout, like a rental turnover or a basement full of old bedroom furniture, a driveway dumpster gives you a week to load it all.

Why the trash truck says no

The mattress pickup that actually shows up.

People searching mattress removal near me usually just found out their trash hauler will not touch it, or that the mattress store does not offer haul-away. L&J’s is a family crew out of Virginia, IL, and a mattress is a normal pickup for us, not a special request. Text a photo, get a flat price, and it is gone.

  • Mattress disposal handled properly, with metal springs and frames pulled for recycling when the facility takes them
  • Mattress pickup from the bedroom, not the curb, including second floors and basements with tight stairs
  • Old mattress removal for one piece or a dozen, anywhere in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County
  • Box springs, foundations, and adjustable bases taken in the same trip at the same flat price
  • Bed bug mattresses bagged and sealed before they leave the room, so the problem does not travel

FAQ

Mattress removal questions people ask.

How much does mattress removal cost in Springfield, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal prices it as a flat rate based on how many pieces you have and where they are in the house. One queen mattress and box spring from a first-floor bedroom is our simplest job. Twelve from a basement is a different number, but it is still one flat price with no dump fees added. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 or request a free estimate and we reply, usually the same day.

Do junk removal companies take mattresses?

L&J’s Junk Removal does. Some haulers turn mattresses down or charge extra because landfills handle them differently, but for us a mattress is a normal pickup. We take mattresses, box springs, foundations, and frames in any condition, including stained, torn, or bed bug mattresses, as long as they are not soaked in fuel or chemicals. Call or text (217) 624-7066 and tell us what you have.

Who picks up old mattresses near Jacksonville and Beardstown, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal does old mattress removal in Jacksonville, Beardstown, Virginia, Ashland, Petersburg, Springfield, and every town in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. We are family-owned with 88 five-star Google reviews, and we carry the mattress out of the room ourselves. Text (217) 624-7066 with a photo and your town for a flat price.

Will my curbside trash service take a mattress in Illinois?

Most curbside trash services in Central Illinois will not take a mattress or box spring, or they require a special pickup you have to schedule and pay for separately. That is why the mattress ends up in the garage for a year. L&J’s Junk Removal offers mattress pickup whenever we are routed through your area, one item or many. Send a photo for a free estimate or text (217) 624-7066.

Can you pick up just one mattress?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal takes single-item pickups, and a lone mattress or mattress and box spring is one of the most common calls we get. We route small pickups with other stops in Jacksonville, Springfield, and Chatham so the trip makes sense for everyone. Text a photo of the mattress to (217) 624-7066 and we will text back a flat price and a date.

Should I rent a dumpster or hire junk removal for old mattresses?

For one to four mattresses, hire L&J’s crew. You are paying for one quick pickup and you never touch the mattress. If the mattresses are part of a bigger cleanout, like a rental turnover or a basement full of bedroom furniture and boxes, a 15 or 20 yard dumpster gives you a week to load everything at once. Text photos to (217) 624-7066 and we will tell you which is cheaper.

Do you take box springs and bed frames too?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal takes box springs, foundations, metal and wood frames, headboards, and adjustable bases along with the mattress, all in the same trip and the same flat price. Metal frames and coil springs are pulled for recycling when the facility accepts them. Text a photo of the whole bed to (217) 624-7066 so the estimate covers all of it.

Can you remove a mattress with bed bugs?

Yes, as long as you tell us before the crew arrives. L&J’s Junk Removal bags and seals bed bug mattresses in the room, carries them straight out without setting them down, and never mixes them with donation items. It is a routine part of mattress disposal for rentals and older homes across Central Illinois. Text (217) 624-7066 and mention bed bugs when you send the photo.

What happens to the mattress after you pick it up?

L&J’s Junk Removal takes mattresses to a facility that accepts them and recycles metal springs, frames, and bases whenever possible. A clean, newer mattress in good shape can sometimes be donated, and we will tell you if yours qualifies. Nothing is left on a back road or behind a dumpster. Ask about the process when you request your free estimate.
