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 Santa Ana Santa Ana is the densest city in Orange County and one of the densest in California, which makes it a multi-family and turnover market above all. It also has genuinely historic housing — Floral Park and French Park are full of 1920s and 1930s homes with detached garages and deep lots that produce substantial estate clear-outs. Dense apartment blocks in the central districts have limited loading space and tight stairwells, so we work fast at the kerb and send enough crew to avoid a long carry becoming a long job. The historic districts have rear alley access, which is the better route. The county civic centre area has restricted parking worth planning around. ### 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 Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. We cover all of Santa Ana, including Downtown Santa Ana, Floral Park, French Park, Park Santiago and South Coast Metro. ## 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.
