JUNK-A-SAURUS🏠 HomeMattress Disposal in Salt Lake County
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.
You can't just set a mattress on the curb
In most of Salt Lake County, regular trash pickup won't take a mattress or box spring, and illegal dumping carries fines. Mattresses are also bulky and tough to fit in a car. The simplest route is a scheduled pickup: we haul the old mattress (and the bed frame, if you want) and send it to a recycler that breaks down the steel, foam and fabric whenever one is available. No hauling it yourself, no guessing at the rules.
Serving the Salt Lake & Utah valleys
Junk-A-Saurus is based in Draper and hauls across both valleys — including Sandy, South Jordan, West Jordan and Riverton in the Salt Lake Valley, plus Lehi, American Fork, Lindon and Orem down in the Utah Valley. Wherever you are, you get the same deal: a free, upfront quote, all the lifting and loading handled, and same-day service whenever we can fit you in. Call or text 801-516-9569 and we'll get you on the schedule.
