Same-day mattress and box spring pickup, taken to a California-certified recycler rather than a landfill. Getting rid of a mattress in Southern California is deliberately hard. You cannot put it in a bin, most landfills will not accept it loose, and city bulky-item pickup often means waiting two to three weeks with the thing sitting in your driveway. We pick it up the same day, carry it down whatever stairs are involved, and deliver it to a recycler under the state programme. ### Mattresses in Chula Vista Chula Vista is really two cities. West of the 805 it is older post-war housing on modest lots with long ownership and full garages. East of it is Eastlake and Otay Ranch — newer master-planned communities with HOAs, three-car garages and families cycling through furniture and playsets on a predictable schedule. Eastern communities are HOA-governed with rules on kerbside staging and working hours, and several are gated and need advance clearance. Western Chula Vista has straightforward driveway access and easier parking. Otay Landfill serves the South Bay for most material types. ### What we take - Mattresses — twin, full, queen, king, California king - Box springs and foundations - Memory foam, latex and hybrid mattresses - Crib and toddler mattresses - Futon mattresses and sofa-bed inserts - Adjustable bed bases and bed frames - Mattress toppers and protectors ### Why you cannot just throw it away California banned mattresses from most landfill disposal streams and created the Mattress Recycling Council programme, funded by a recycling fee collected at the point of sale. Roughly 75% of a mattress by weight — steel springs, polyurethane foam, cotton fibre and timber — is genuinely recoverable. Dumping one illegally in LA County carries fines that start in the hundreds and climb fast. ### Getting a price in Chula Vista We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards.

We cover all of Chula Vista, including Eastlake, Otay Ranch, Rancho del Rey, western Chula Vista and Bonita adjacent. ## Frequently asked questions **Do you actually recycle the mattress?** Yes. We deliver to a recycler participating in the California Mattress Recycling Council programme, where the steel, foam and fibre are separated and reclaimed. **Can you take a mattress with bed bugs?** Yes, but tell us when booking. It gets sealed in plastic in the room and routed to disposal rather than recycling. **Can I just leave it outside for you?** You can, though check your city's rules first — several LA-area cities issue citations for bulky items left at the kerb. We are happy to come inside and get it.
