For 2026, single mattress disposal in Edmonton ranges from $95 for standard curbside pickup to $135 for full-service in-home lifting. A complete mattress and box spring bundle set ranges from $155 to $195, which completely covers all labor and municipal Eco-Station recycling fees.

Can you leave a mattress on the curb for garbage collection in Edmonton?

No, the City of Edmonton does not accept mattresses or box springs as part of regular weekly residential waste collection. Residents must personally haul them to an Eco-Station and pay a bulky item fee, or hire a private, local hauling service to manage the pickup and recycling process.

Mattress Disposal Edmonton | Fast, Eco-Friendly Mattress Recycling

It is an absolute nightmare to move alone, it won’t fit into a standard car, and the City of Edmonton will not take it away as part of your standard weekly curbside garbage collection.

If you try to take it to a local city Eco-Station (like Strathcona, Ambleside, or Kennedale) yourself, you have to beg a friend for a truck, tie it down in the wind, haul it over there, and pay the city’s mandatory $19 per-item bulky item recycling fee.

If you call a national corporate junk franchise, you instantly fall into their minimum load trap, where they will charge you upwards of $150 just to load a single item into their truck.

Wow Services offers a stress-free, budget-friendly alternative. We handle the heavy lifting, the loading, and the entire transfer station run for a simple, honest flat rate.

The Wow Services Mattress Advantage:

Transparent Single-Item Rates: We do not believe in arbitrary truck-volume minimums. If you only have one mattress or a matching box spring to get rid of, you only pay a fair single-item flat rate starting at $95.
Total Property Protection: Mattresses are awkward and heavy. Our trained two-man teams utilize professional moving techniques to maneuver your old bed around tight corners and down stairs without scuffing your paint or puncturing your drywall.
Eco-Conscious Recycling: We don’t just drop your bed off at a landfill. We transport mattresses to designated processing facilities where they are systematically stripped down to reclaim steel interior springs, wood framing, and foam padding to minimize local environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do you pick up mattresses that have been exposed to bed bugs? A: Yes, we can safely haul them away. However, to protect our crews and prevent cross-contamination in our trucks, the mattress and box spring must be completely sealed in a heavy-duty plastic mattress disposal bag before our arrival. These protective wrap bags can be purchased cheaply at local hardware stores or moving supply shops.

Q: Can you take away my old wooden bed frame or headboard at the same time? A: Absolutely! We love bundling items to save you money. If you have an old headboard, footboard, wooden slats, or metal bed frames you want gone alongside the mattress, let our team know when booking and we will provide a heavily discounted multi-item bundle price.

Q: Why does the City of Edmonton charge a fee for mattresses at the Eco-Station? A: Mattresses cannot be easily processed by standard landfill compactors because the internal steel coils get caught in heavy industrial machinery. The city charges an automated bulky item surcharge to cover the manual labor required to cut open the fabric, pull out the steel components, and recycle the individual materials.
