JUNK-A-SAURUS🏠 HomeHow to Get Rid of an Old Couch or Mattress
Old couches and mattresses are some of the most awkward things to get rid of — they're heavy, bulky, and most curbside trash won't take them. Here are your options in the Salt Lake & Utah valleys.
1. Donate it (if it's in good shape)
Gently used furniture can go to local thrift stores or charities. Note: most won't accept stained, torn, or bed-bug-risk mattresses.
2. Haul it to the dump yourself
You can rent a truck and take it to a transfer station — but you'll pay dump fees, do the heavy lifting, and spend your afternoon on it.
3. Have it picked up
The easiest option: we come to you, carry it out (you don't lift a thing), and dispose of or donate it responsibly. Same-day available. Text 801-516-9569 for a free quote.
Why couches and mattresses are a pain to DIY
Bulky upholstered items are heavy, awkward through doorways and stairwells, and most curbside trash service won't take them. Many landfills also charge extra to drop a mattress, and some require it bagged. That's why a quick pickup usually beats wrestling a sleeper sofa down two flights yourself. We carry it out, load it, and route mattresses and foam to recyclers where we can instead of straight to the dump.
