Mattress Removal in Raleigh, NC — The Easy Way
If you've ever tried to get rid of a mattress in Raleigh, you know the frustration. The City of Raleigh does not accept mattresses in regular curbside trash collection, Wake County Convenience Centers require you to haul it yourself, and most charities won't accept used mattresses. That leaves you stuck.
Raleigh Junk Removal makes mattress disposal simple. Place your mattress (and box spring if you have one) at the curb, and we'll come pick it up during your scheduled window. We accept all sizes — twin, full, queen, and king — in any condition.
Why Can't I Put a Mattress in the Trash in Raleigh?
Wake County solid waste regulations classify mattresses as bulky items that require special handling. Standard garbage trucks can't compact them safely, and many landfills charge extra processing fees for mattresses due to their size and materials. The City of Raleigh does offer a bulk item pickup program, but wait times can be several weeks and it requires scheduling in advance. A local pickup service is almost always faster and more convenient.
Mattress Sizes We Remove in Raleigh
- Twin and Twin XL mattresses

We Accept Mattresses in Any Condition
