Area served: Los Angeles County, Los Angeles County, California Contact: 323-547-5879 — info@thejunkiez.com Last updated: 2026-08-28 The Junkiez provides same-day mattress disposal & recycling in Los Angeles County. 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 Los Angeles County Los Angeles County is 88 cities and roughly 4,000 square miles, and hauling here is really a set of separate problems that happen to share a county line. The Westside is dense rent-controlled apartment stock with no parking. The Valley is post-war single-family homes with two-car garages that have not held a car since the nineties. The South Bay is beach cities with walk streets and alleys. The San Gabriel Valley is century-old housing with detached garages and deep lots. We run crews who know which one they are walking into. Most cities in the county offer residents some form of free bulky-item collection, and we will tell you when that is the better option for you. Where it does not work — a deadline, an item that has to come down two flights, a landlord who needs the unit cleared this week — we are same-day. Loads go to certified transfer, materials recovery and composting facilities, and construction debris goes to the certified processors the City of Los Angeles requires for permit sign-off. ### 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 Los Angeles County We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Our rates are the same everywhere we work — there is no Los Angeles County surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. ## 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.
