Mattress Removal & Recycling

Rapid Junk Removal RI provides convenient in-home mattress and box spring pickup throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. We recycle hundreds of mattresses each year and work to keep every eligible mattress out of Rhode Island landfills.

Convenient Mattress Pickup With Recycling as the Goal

Getting rid of an unwanted mattress is not always easy. Mattresses are large, awkward to carry, difficult to fit into an ordinary vehicle, and generally cannot be placed out with regular household trash.

Rapid Junk Removal RI provides full-service mattress removal and recycling throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. Our local crew removes mattresses directly from bedrooms, apartments, basements, upstairs rooms, garages, storage units, hotels, rental properties, and commercial buildings.

You do not need to carry the mattress outside or struggle to fit it into a truck. We handle the lifting, carrying, loading, transportation, and final processing from start to finish.

Recycling is our goal whenever a mattress is eligible. We recycle hundreds of mattresses and box springs each year and have partnered with a national mattress recycler that dismantles the items and processes their individual components. Through this partnership, we are able to divert approximately 90% of the mattresses we remove away from Rhode Island landfills.

With convenient in-home pickup and service available throughout the state, Rapid Junk Removal RI has become one of Rhode Island’s largest mattress recyclers.


What’s Included With Mattress Removal?

Our mattress removal service includes the labor needed to remove approved mattresses and related items from their current location. You do not need to move anything to the curb unless you are specifically scheduling a curbside pickup.

Mattress removal may include:

  • Removal directly from inside your home or property
  • All lifting, carrying, loading, and hauling
  • Removal from upstairs bedrooms and basements
  • Removal from apartments, condominiums, and multi-unit buildings
  • Pickup of mattresses, box springs, frames, and related bedroom items
  • Basic disassembly of bed frames when needed
  • Single-item and multiple-item pickups
  • Residential and commercial mattress removal
  • Transportation to an appropriate recycling or processing facility
  • Basic cleanup of the immediate removal area

Before the appointment, remove all sheets, blankets, pillows, mattress protectors, and personal belongings. Let us know about stairs, narrow hallways, elevators, limited parking, or other conditions that may affect the removal.

Mattresses and Bedroom Items We Remove

Our crews remove most common types and sizes of residential and commercial mattresses. Pickups can include one mattress or a larger quantity from a property cleanout, apartment building, hotel, college residence, or furniture replacement project.

Standard Mattresses

We remove twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king mattresses. This includes traditional innerspring, memory foam, latex, pillow-top, and hybrid models.

Box Springs and Foundations

Box springs and mattress foundations can be included with your pickup. We remove standard foundations, split box springs, low-profile foundations, bunkie boards, and related support pieces.

Adjustable Bed Bases

Adjustable bed bases contain motors, metal framing, electrical components, and heavy moving parts. These items are significantly heavier than an ordinary bed frame and should be identified when requesting your quote.

Adjustable bases should be unplugged and disconnected from other equipment before removal.

Bed Frames and Headboards

We can also remove metal bed frames, wooden frames, platform beds, headboards, footboards, rails, slats, and other approved bedroom furniture.

Basic disassembly may be included when needed to remove the frame safely through hallways, stairways, and door openings.

Futons, Sofa Beds, and Sleeper Mattresses

Our crews remove futon mattresses, futon frames, sleeper-sofa mattresses, daybeds, trundle beds, and other related furniture.

Sleeper sofas and futon frames can be especially heavy because of their internal metal mechanisms. Send pictures of the complete item when requesting your quote.

Crib and Youth Mattresses

Crib mattresses, toddler mattresses, youth mattresses, and related bed frames can also be included in a pickup or larger household cleanout.


How Mattress Recycling Works

Mattresses contain several materials that may be recovered and processed instead of being buried together in a landfill. However, mattresses are difficult to handle because they are bulky and must be dismantled before their individual components can be separated.

Rapid Junk Removal RI works with a national mattress recycling partner that dismantles eligible mattresses and box springs. Components are separated so they can be directed toward appropriate recycling and processing channels.

Mattress components may include:

  • Steel springs and metal framing
  • Foam and cushioning materials
  • Wood from box spring frames
  • Fabric and fiber materials
  • Plastic and other internal components

Through this process, approximately 90% of the mattresses we collect can be diverted away from Rhode Island landfills. The exact percentage may vary based on the condition and construction of each mattress.

We recycle hundreds of mattresses each year, making mattress recycling a major part of our everyday operation rather than an occasional service.


One of Rhode Island’s Largest Mattress Recyclers

Many disposal companies treat mattresses as ordinary bulky waste. Rapid Junk Removal RI has taken a different approach by making mattress recycling a regular part of our service.

Our combination of convenient in-home pickup, statewide service, commercial removal capacity, and an established recycling partnership allows us to handle hundreds of mattresses each year.

Customers choose our mattress removal service because:

  • We pick up mattresses directly from inside the property
  • We remove single mattresses and bulk quantities
  • Our goal is to recycle every eligible mattress
  • We work with a dedicated national mattress recycler
  • Approximately 90% of eligible mattress material is diverted from landfills
  • We serve homes and businesses throughout Rhode Island
  • Box springs, frames, and other bedroom items can be included

Whether you are replacing one mattress at home or clearing dozens from a commercial property, our team can provide a convenient pickup option.


Mattresses That Cannot Be Recycled

Our goal is to recycle every mattress that meets the receiving facility’s requirements. However, some mattresses are too damaged or contaminated to be accepted through the standard recycling process.

A mattress may be considered non-recyclable if it is:

  • Heavily soiled or stained
  • Wet or waterlogged
  • Severely damaged or falling apart
  • Affected by mold or excessive moisture
  • Contaminated by bodily fluids or waste
  • Infested with bed bugs or other pests
  • Burned or exposed to fire damage
  • Contaminated by chemicals, oil, or other substances

Heavily damaged, wet, soiled, or otherwise non-recyclable mattresses require different handling and processing. An additional processing fee applies to these items.

Please disclose the mattress condition when requesting your quote. Current pictures help us determine whether the mattress appears eligible for standard recycling and whether an additional fee may apply.

Bed Bug and Pest-Related Mattresses

Mattresses affected by bed bugs or another infestation must be disclosed before scheduling. Special preparation and handling requirements may apply.

Do not place an infested mattress in a shared hallway or common area unless instructed by the property owner or manager. We will explain any preparation needed before pickup.

Wet or Mold-Damaged Mattresses

Mattresses that have been left outdoors, exposed to flooding, stored in damp basements, or damaged by roof leaks may be too wet or contaminated for ordinary recycling.

Send pictures and explain the condition before the appointment so we can provide accurate pricing and prepare the crew appropriately.


Residential Mattress Removal

Our residential mattress pickup service is available for homeowners, tenants, families, seniors, and anyone replacing or getting rid of an unwanted bed.

Common residential pickups include:

  • Old mattresses being replaced
  • Mattresses left after moving
  • Guest-room and spare-bedroom cleanouts
  • Basement and attic cleanouts
  • Estate and downsizing projects
  • Furniture replacement
  • Mattresses left by former tenants
  • Adjustable bases and complete bedroom sets

You do not have to drag the mattress downstairs, bend it through a doorway, or leave it outside. Our crew removes it from its current location after reviewing the access.


Commercial and Bulk Mattress Removal

Rapid Junk Removal RI also provides bulk mattress removal for businesses, property owners, housing facilities, and organizations throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts.

Commercial clients may include:

  • Apartment buildings and condominium communities
  • Hotels and motels
  • Property-management companies
  • Colleges and student housing
  • Assisted-living and senior communities
  • Furniture and mattress retailers
  • Moving and relocation companies
  • Landlords and real estate investors
  • Storage facilities
  • Estate and property-cleanout professionals

We can remove a few mattresses from one building or coordinate a larger pickup involving dozens of mattresses and box springs.

For bulk removal, provide an estimated item count, mattress sizes, property address, floor levels, elevator availability, loading access, and the condition of the mattresses.

Apartment and Rental Property Pickups

Mattresses left behind after a tenant moves out can delay cleaning, painting, flooring, and the next move-in. We work with landlords and property managers to remove mattresses, box springs, frames, furniture, appliances, and other approved items during the same appointment.

Hotel and Facility Mattress Replacement

Hotels, housing facilities, and commercial properties replacing multiple mattresses may require removal coordinated around deliveries, loading areas, elevators, staff, and operating hours.

Large projects may be completed in phases depending on the number of items, access, and available staging space.


Our Mattress Removal Process

Send Us Pictures

Call or text 401-360-5837 or complete our online quote form. Send pictures of the mattress, box spring, bed frame, and any other items you want removed.

Tell Us About the Mattress Condition

Let us know whether the mattress is clean and dry or if it is stained, wet, heavily damaged, mold affected, or exposed to pests.

This information helps us determine whether the mattress is likely to qualify for standard recycling and whether an additional processing fee applies.

Receive Clear, Upfront Pricing

Pricing depends on the number and size of the items, condition, floor level, stairs, access, labor, transportation, and processing requirements.

You will receive pricing based on the items shown and described. If additional mattresses, furniture, or household items are added, send updated pictures before the appointment.

Schedule Your Pickup

Once the quote is approved, we schedule a pickup time that works for your home, property, or business. Same-day or next-day service may be available depending on your location and our current schedule.

We Remove the Mattress

Our crew removes the approved mattresses and related items from their current location, carries everything to the truck, and performs a basic cleanup of the immediate removal area.

Eligible mattresses are transported for processing through our mattress recycling partner.

Rapid Junk Removal is the best! I’ve hired them for a few years for junk removal at my own home and I refer them to clients who are selling their homes and need to get rid of belongings they’ve saved for years. RJR is very responsive, show up on time as promised, and they’re extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend them!

Excellent service! They responded quickly, arrived on time, and removed my large wooden shipping crate without any hassle. The team was friendly, professional, and worked efficiently. The price was very reasonable, and there were no hidden fees. They also cleaned up the area before leaving. I would definitely use Rapid Junk again and highly recommend them to anyone needing junk removal.

Best dumpster rental service, no contest. The container I rented had built in ramps, fully opening doors in the back, and it has an integrated trailer with wheels so they can park it anywhere on grass or driveway. Showed up on-time and as expected (both for delivery and drop-off). Would rate them higher if I could!

I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Rapid Junk Removal. It’s rare to find a small, locally owned business that combines honesty, efficiency, and professionalism at this level. From the moment I reached out, communication was clear and straightforward—no games, no hidden fees, just honest pricing and realistic expectations. They showed up exactly when they said they would, worked incredibly efficiently, and handled everything with care and respect for my space. What really stood out to me is how hardworking and genuine the team is. You can tell they take pride in what they do and truly value their customers. They got the job done quickly without ever making me feel rushed or overlooked. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy junk removal company that delivers top-tier service without the big-company attitude, Rapid Junk Removal is the one to call. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone.

Just a great experience with this company! Friendly, on time and did exactly what they said in timeframe they said for a very reasonable price. I also like that they recycle and repurpose as much as possible and are conscious of it - which meant a lot to me. They emptied a full metal shed, took it down and even did a few small things for me that weren’t spoken of prior to day of the work. It couldn’t get any easier than this! Highly recommend and thank you!

Fantastic company! I highly recommend, sent text with picture of furniture and responded in minutes with a quote, came right on time the next day. Don't hesitate to give them a call. Danny runs a great business!

I cannot say enough praises. There were 3 men who came. We had the stuff out in the backyard for them to take. They came and were pointing out other things that we forgot to ask to take. They even took my old pool that was rolled up. They were super nice and so quick. At the end of the appointment they gave me doggie treats for my dog and a coupon for $25 off of a dumpster rental. My neighbors even asked if they could take a few things and they went right over and took their stuff too. They were professional and personable. I will definitely use them again and refer them to anyone I know! Thank you so much!

Wonderful, prompt, professional and friendly service. We live out of state and were in the process of selling my husband's aunt's house from almost 5 hrs away. The closing was looming and my husband did his due diligence trying to find somewhere to donate his aunt's piano. In the meantime, I had texted with Danny, the owner at Rapid Junk Removal for an estimate which he texted back to me within minutes! Sadly, after weeks of both my husband and I searching for a place to hand off the piano, we had to give up. I texted back to Danny, asking if he could remove it by end of the week and he was most accommodating. The day of the removal, we had a friend meet Danny and his work crew. They arrived and quickly set to work. Had it out in a half hour. While it saddened us having to junk this lovely old piano, Rapid Junk Removal took the worry and stress off our shoulders. Danny was most sympathetic and even commiserated with me about the difficulty in finding a home for older pianos. I was greatly impressed with their quality of customer care as well as their work. Our friend who let in the crew into the house spoke well of them, too! I wish we had found Rapid Junk Removal earlier, they'd have been most helpful with the other items we had to remove from the house. I'd highly recommend them to anyone with similar needs, large or small.

As an Estate Executor, dealing with clean up and/or Home Repairs/Restorations, put these guys very high on your list of resources worth hiring. They are trustworthy, reliable professionals that can help guide you throughout this process, as well as educate you on city disposal costs and donation center constraints. Spare yourself the stress and make the call!! Like me, you will be forever thankful that you did. They are AWESOME and worth every penny.

From the minute that we called him, he was very polite on the phone. He answered every single question that we had. He told us what time he was gonna drop it off and he was here on point He also told us if we wanted to Have him pick it up this afternoon if we were done he can we texted him and he was here within half hour. Such a great guy very polite very respectful. If I needed his services again, I will call him without a doubt me and my wife couldn’t be any more happier great job. I know they rate him five stars but I will give him 100.

Texted a few photos on a Sunday of what I needed picked up and within a couple minutes I received a quote. The team of 3 were available the next day for pick up and arrived during the window of time they provided. They even texted me when they were in route. They were professional and friendly and removed quite a bit of heavy furniture within 15 minutes. They were speedy but also careful removing the items through the doorway. They have a mobile card reader which was convenient, so I was able to pay once they loaded everything up. Wonderful team, so glad I called after seeing the positive reviews on our towns Facebook page 🙂
