Mattress Disposal in Charlottesville
Mattresses are floppy, heavy, and impossible to fit in a sedan. Have one picked up from any room in the house instead.
Getting rid of a mattress in Charlottesville is more annoying than it should be. Charities generally won't accept used mattresses for hygiene reasons, the city doesn't collect them curbside as regular trash, and hauling one to the Ivy transfer station means strapping a queen-size sail to your roof rack.
A pickup crew takes the mattress and box spring from wherever they are — upstairs bedroom, basement guest room — and disposes of them properly. Steel springs are recycled where facilities allow.

Mattress Disposal FAQs
Can I just put my mattress on the curb in Charlottesville?
Not as regular trash. The City of Charlottesville requires bulky items like mattresses to be scheduled and often charges a fee, and in the county there's no curbside option at all. A pickup is usually the fastest path.
Can a used mattress be donated?
Almost never — most charities, including local ones, decline used mattresses for sanitary reasons. Disposal or recycling is the realistic route.
Do you take bed bugs–affected mattresses?
Mention it when you request a quote. Many crews will still take them with proper wrapping (a sealed mattress bag), which protects your home and theirs.
