WHAT YOU GET
Every option in your city,
on one page.
No lead forms, no phone tag. Each listing shows what it costs, who can use it, and where the information came from.
Drop-off sites
Transfer stations, landfills, and recyclers near you — street address, distance, and the fee per mattress.
City & county pickup
Whether your sanitation department takes a mattress at the curb, what it costs, and how to book it.
State rules
Landfill bans, wrapping requirements, and the four states that recycle mattresses free of charge.
Store haul-away
Which retailers remove the old mattress when the new one is delivered, and what they charge to do it.
Donation, honestly
Most charities refuse used mattresses. We say which ones near you accept them — and which ones don’t.
Pickup services
National haulers and our own company, labeled as ours, so you can compare prices rather than take our word.

Start with your city.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps,
then it’s gone.
Start with where you live. Leave knowing where to take it and what it will cost.

WHY THIS EXISTS
Hi, I’m Tim.
I founded A Bedder World, a mattress recycling company. This site lists every option I could find, including the free ones and my competitors. My company’s listings are labeled “Our company” so you always know which is which.
