Mattress Removal in Boise
Quick answer: a mattress can't go in Boise's regular trash cart, and leaving it at the curb unscheduled counts as illegal dumping. Your real options: a free Curb It large-item pickup through Republic Services at (208) 345-1266 (six per calendar year, scheduled on request), a $15-minimum run to the Ada County Landfill, or a paid pickup — Boise-market rates run about $75–$150, and ours comes with a free, no-obligation quote: (208) 845-3223.
The full guide
How to get rid of a mattress in Boise
-
Rule out the trash cart
Mattresses and box springs are oversized items — the cart route doesn't exist for them, and curb-dumping without a scheduled pickup is illegal dumping with a fine attached. Ten minutes of planning beats a code-enforcement letter.
-
Free: schedule a Curb It large-item pickup
Boise city trash customers get six free large-item collections per calendar year, mattresses included. Call Republic Services at (208) 345-1266, set the date, and put it out for that pickup. The trade-off is the wait for the next available slot.
-
Cheap: haul it to the Ada County Landfill
10300 N. Seamans Gulch Road. A mattress falls under the $15 minimum (loads up to 1,035 pounds). You'll need a vehicle it fits in, straps to cover and secure it — required — and the trip across town.
-
Donation: possible, but call first
Most charities decline used mattresses. The main exception in Boise is St. Vincent de Paul, which takes clean ones in good condition at some locations — confirm with your nearest store before you wrestle it onto a truck.
-
Fast: single-item pickup
We come to the bedroom, carry it down whatever stairs are involved, and it's gone — same-day and next-day slots, box spring and frame welcome on the same stop. Free, no-obligation quote on the phone call.

Questions
Mattress questions
Can a mattress go in my Boise trash cart?
No — mattresses and box springs are oversized items and the regular cart won't be collected with one stuffed in it. They go through the Curb It large-item pickup, the landfill, or a hauler.
Is it illegal to leave a mattress at the curb?
Leaving one at the curb without a scheduled pickup counts as illegal dumping in Boise and can draw a fine. Schedule the free large-item pickup first — then the curb is exactly where it belongs.
Is there a free mattress pickup in Boise?
Yes — the Curb It program collects mattresses and box springs as large items, six free collections per calendar year for city trash customers. Call Republic Services at (208) 345-1266 to schedule, and plan on a wait for the next available pickup.
What does mattress removal cost?
Published Boise-market pickup prices run about $75–$150 per mattress. Self-hauling to the Ada County Landfill runs the $15 minimum. Our number comes from a free, no-obligation quote — and if you have more going than the mattress, the truck's already there.
Will a charity take my used mattress?
Most Boise donation centers decline used mattresses — hygiene rules make them hard to resell. St. Vincent de Paul accepts clean, good-condition mattresses at some locations; call your nearest store before loading anything.
