Mattress Removal in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

Getting rid of an old mattress is one of those things that sounds simple until you actually try to do it. Mattresses are bulky, floppy, and nearly impossible to fit into a normal vehicle. Most garbage services refuse to pick them up from the curb. And leaving one on the side of the road is illegal in most places — for good reason.

ShapeUpIdaho takes the hassle out of mattress removal for homeowners and renters across Rexburg and the entire Southeastern Idaho region. We come to your home, pull the mattress out of whatever room it’s in, load it up, and make sure it gets disposed of properly. It’s that straightforward.

Why Mattress Removal Is Trickier Than You’d Think

A standard queen mattress weighs between 60 and 100 pounds. A king can push well past that, especially older innerspring models. They’re awkward to grip, hard to bend around corners, and a pain to get through doorways — especially in older homes with narrow hallways.

Then there’s the disposal problem. You can’t just toss a mattress in a dumpster. Most landfills charge extra fees for mattresses because they take up enormous amounts of space and don’t compress well. Some transfer stations won’t accept them at all without special arrangements.

That’s a lot of work for something you just want gone. Our crew deals with mattresses every week. We know how to get them out of tight spaces quickly and without damaging your walls, and we know exactly where to take them for proper recycling and disposal.

What We Pick Up

We don’t just take your standard mattress. Here’s the full list of sleep-related items we’ll haul away:

All Mattress Sizes

Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king — doesn’t matter. We’ve hauled them all, and we’ve done it from every floor of every type of home you can find in Rexburg.

Box Springs and Foundations

These are just as bulky and annoying to deal with as the mattress itself. Most people get rid of both at the same time, and we’re set up to handle that efficiently.

Specialty Mattresses

Memory foam, latex, hybrid, pillow-top, futon mattresses, and crib mattresses. Even waterbed bladders. If you slept on it and now you’re done with it, we’ll take it.

Bed Bases and Frames

Adjustable bases, platform frames, metal frames, and headboards. If you want the entire bed gone, we pair mattress removal with our furniture removal service and take care of everything in one visit.

Where Do Old Mattresses End Up?

This is a question we get a lot, and we’re happy to answer it because we take it seriously.

A single mattress can contain up to 25 pounds of recyclable steel in its springs, along with foam, cotton, and wood. When mattresses go straight to the landfill, all of those materials are wasted — and the mattress sits there for decades without breaking down.

We deliver old mattresses to facilities equipped to take them apart. The steel gets melted down and reused. Foam gets shredded and repurposed for carpet padding or industrial applications. Fabric and other textiles get processed where recycling options exist.

Is every single component recyclable? Not always. But we recover as much as we can, and that makes a real difference compared to just throwing the whole thing in a hole in the ground.

Common Reasons People Call Us for Mattress Removal

We pick up mattresses for all kinds of reasons. Here are the most common calls we get:

• New mattress delivery day — The new one just showed up and the old one needs to disappear. Some delivery services will take your old mattress, but many won’t. We fill that gap.
• Moving — You’re relocating and the mattress isn’t worth taking with you.
• Rental property turnover — Landlords and property managers across Southeastern Idaho call us regularly to clear out mattresses between tenants. Nobody wants to sleep on someone else’s old mattress.
• Guest room refresh — That guest mattress has been in the spare room for 15 years. Time to upgrade.
• Damage — Stains, bed bugs, water damage, or just plain wear and tear. When a mattress is done, it’s done.

If you manage rental properties, our apartment cleanout and property management cleanout services often include mattress removal as part of the package. Ask about bundled pricing.

How to Prepare for Mattress Pickup

You really don’t need to do much. Here are a few quick tips:

Strip the bedding. Remove all sheets, mattress pads, and protectors. Those can go in your regular laundry or trash.

Clear a path. If there’s furniture or clutter between the mattress and the nearest exit, try to move what you can. If you can’t, don’t worry — our crew will work around it.

Let us know about stairs. When you call or book online, mention if the mattress is on a second floor or in a basement. It doesn’t change whether we can do the job, but it helps us plan.

That’s it. We handle the rest.
