4 Salt Lake City Mattress Disposal Rules to Know
No mattresses in the curbside can
Salt Lake City garbage bins can’t take mattresses or box springs. They have to go to the landfill, a recycler, or out with a scheduled bulk pickup — or a hauler takes them for you.
Cover your load or pay double
Hauling it yourself? The Salt Lake Valley Landfill requires loads to be securely covered — arrive with an uncovered mattress strapped to the roof and the fee doubles.
Recyclers only take dry, bug-free beds
About 90% of a mattress — steel, foam, and wood — is recyclable, but Spring Back Utah and the city’s recycling stream can only accept mattresses that are dry and free of bed bugs. Wet or soiled beds go to the landfill.
Most charities won’t take used mattresses
Deseret Industries and most Utah thrift stores don’t accept used mattresses or box springs for health and safety reasons. Unless your mattress is nearly new, plan on recycling or disposal instead of donation.
How Our Mattress Pickup Works
- Tell us what’s going. Call (801) 708-0084 or use the form — mattress, box spring, frame, headboard, all of it.
- Get an upfront price. Single pieces start at $75; we confirm the exact all-inclusive number before we touch anything.
- We carry it out. Upstairs bedroom, basement, garage — the crew hauls it, sweeps up, and routes clean beds to recycling.
Salt Lake City Mattress Disposal FAQs
How do I dispose of a mattress in Salt Lake City?
You have five real options: book a junk removal pickup (from $75, same-day), haul it to the Salt Lake Valley Landfill ($17 load fee plus $18 per mattress), drop it at Spring Back Utah’s recycling warehouse ($20 per piece), schedule a Spring Back home pickup ($60 for the first piece), or — if you live in Salt Lake City proper — use your free annual Call 2 Haul bulk pickup.
How much does mattress disposal cost in Salt Lake City?
Professional pickup runs $80–$150 for the first mattress or box spring, with additional pieces cheaper. DIY at the Salt Lake Valley Landfill costs $17 per car or pickup load plus $18 per mattress — before truck rental and your time. Spring Back Utah charges $20 per piece at their drop-off.
Can I put a mattress in my curbside garbage can?
No. Mattresses and box springs aren’t accepted in regular Salt Lake City curbside bins. City residents can schedule a free Call 2 Haul bulk pickup once a year (801-535-6953); otherwise it needs to go to the landfill or a recycler — or we can pick it up same-day.
Can I donate a used mattress in Utah?
Usually not. Deseret Industries and most Utah thrift stores don’t accept used mattresses or beds for hygiene and safety reasons. If your mattress is clean, dry, and nearly new, a local shelter may take it — call ahead. For everything else, recycling through Spring Back Utah keeps it out of the landfill.
Is mattress recycling free in Salt Lake City?
Not quite — Spring Back Utah charges $20 per piece at their warehouse drop-off. The closest thing to free is Call 2 Haul: Salt Lake City residents get a yearly bulk pickup at no charge, and clean, dry mattresses collected that way get recycled. When we haul your mattress, recyclable beds are routed to recycling as part of the price.
