Mattress Removal Cost — Complete Pricing Guide

Mattress removal in DuPage County typically costs $75 to $150 for a single mattress and $110 to $200 for a mattress and box spring set, with each additional mattress in the same load usually adding $40 to $80. Full-service pricing covers the labor, the stair or elevator carry, truck space, and the per-mattress surcharge most Chicago-area transfer stations apply. Curbside village pickup costs less but runs on a scheduled bulk week and often requires prepaid stickers. Exact pricing is confirmed on site before any lifting starts.

Typical mattress removal price ranges in DuPage County (market ranges — exact price confirmed on site)

Mattress removal pricing in DuPage County starts around $75 for one piece and climbs by the piece, not by the pound

A single twin or full mattress removed on its own generally lands in the $75 to $125 range across DuPage County. Queen and king mattresses sit slightly higher, roughly $85 to $150, because they eat more truck space and usually need two people on the stairs. A mattress and box spring set is priced as two items and commonly totals $110 to $200. The pricing driver is volume plus disposal, so the cheapest per-item rate almost always comes from combining the mattress with other unwanted furniture in one stop rather than booking a standalone pickup.

Mattress recycling fees are the reason a box spring is billed as a separate item

Mattresses and box springs are charged individually because disposal facilities charge individually. Most Chicago-area transfer stations apply a **per-mattress surcharge** on top of standard tonnage rates, and a box spring counts as its own unit even though it weighs less than the mattress on top of it. Springs, foam and wood frames also jam compaction equipment, which is why the surcharge exists. Illinois does not run a statewide mattress recycling program the way a few coastal states do, so the fee is set facility by facility. That surcharge is already built into a full-service quote — it is not a surprise line added later.
