Mattress Disposal & Recycling in Orange County
Same-day mattress and box spring pickup, taken to a California-certified recycler rather than a landfill.
The Junkiez provides same-day mattress disposal & recycling in Orange 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 Orange County
Orange County is the most HOA-governed market we work in, and that changes the job in practical ways. A large share of communities here prohibit items being staged at the kerb, restrict working hours, and require contractors to be cleared at a gate before arrival. The upside is that access, once you are in, is generally excellent — wide streets, long driveways, three-car garages, and room to work.
Give us the community and gate name when you book and we will get on the list ahead of time rather than losing an hour at a guardhouse. County facilities — Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine, Olinda Alpha in Brea, Prima Deshecha in San Juan Capistrano — cover the north, centre and south of the county, and green waste goes to composting as a separate load. The inland canyon fringes have enforced fire-season brush clearance requirements.

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.
