Where can I dispose of a mattress in Salt Lake County?

You can take it to a transfer station that accepts mattresses (with a dump fee), recycle it, or have it picked up. Junk-A-Saurus removes mattresses and box springs from any room same-day across the Salt Lake Valley.

Is it cheaper to remove a mattress myself?

Only if you already have a truck and time. Once you factor in fuel, dump fees, and the heavy lifting, a pickup is often easier and not much more — and you don't have to touch it.

Mattress Disposal in Salt Lake County

Junk-A-Saurus · Salt Lake Valley

Mattresses are one of the hardest things to get rid of: they're bulky, they don't fit in a car, and regular trash service won't take them. Here's how to handle it in Salt Lake County.

Can you recycle a mattress?

Yes — mattresses are roughly 80–90% recyclable (steel springs, foam, wood, fabric). The catch is getting it to a facility that accepts them, which usually means a truck and a dump fee.

Can you donate it?

Only if it's clean and in good condition. Most charities won't accept stained, sagging, or bed-bug-risk mattresses for health reasons.

The simplest option

Have it picked up. Junk-A-Saurus pulls the mattress and box spring out of any room, carries it out, and recycles or disposes of it responsibly — same day across the valley. Text 801-516-9569 for a free quote.
