Below: the full size-by-size breakdown, the NYC bagging rule that trips people up, where your mattress actually goes, and how to pay less.

| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Mattress — Twin | $111 |
| Mattress — Full / Double | $126 |
| Mattress — Queen | $139 |
| Mattress — King / Cal King | $154 |
| Box Spring (any size) | $124 |
| Mattress + Box Spring (set) | $192 |
| Bed Frame (any size) | $92 |
$75 job minimum. Every price covers labor, carry-down from any floor, hauling, and recycling/disposal. NYC sales tax (8.875%) is added at checkout. For reference, national cost guides (HomeAdvisor) put mattress removal at $75–$200+ — the wide range is on-site estimating; ours is fixed before you book.
This is the part most people don't find out until the truck skips their mattress. If you set a mattress or box spring at the curb for DSNY, NYC requires it to be fully encased in a sealed plastic disposal bag — it's a bed-bug control rule, and it's enforced. An un-bagged mattress at the curb can be left behind and can draw a sanitation violation.
So the "free" DSNY route really means: buy a mattress disposal bag, wrestle the mattress into it and tape it sealed, carry it down to the curb yourself, and set it out on the right collection day. That's fine if you're on a ground floor with time to spare. When we remove it, none of that is on you — we wrap it, carry it down, and take it the same day, bagging rule handled.
| Option | What a queen runs | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| DSNY curbside | Free | You bag it in sealed plastic, carry it to the curb, and wait for your collection day — un-bagged = left behind |
| 1-800-GOT-JUNK & volume haulers | ~$130–$300 | Priced by truck space and quoted on-site; a single mattress is "minimum truck" territory |
| TaskRabbit / gig labor | ~$70–$160 + disposal | They'll carry it down, but bagging, the dump run, and disposal fees are yours |
| JunkRabbit | Flat $139 | All-in, photo-quoted up front, same-day, wrapped, carried down, recycled — nothing left to you |
DSNY wins on price if you can bag and carry. For everyone who can't (or won't), our flat fee is usually the cheaper and the more predictable number versus a volume hauler's on-site quote.
A mattress is one of the most recyclable big items you own — roughly 75% of it is reclaimable. The steel springs are scrapped and melted down, the foam is reprocessed (often into carpet padding), and the cotton and fiber are baled for reuse. Sent to landfill, a mattress is bulky, slow to break down, and a waste of all that steel and foam. We route mattresses to recyclers wherever they'll take them rather than burying them — at no extra cost to you.
"Queen mattress and box spring out of a 3rd-floor walk-up, $192 flat as quoted. They wrapped it on the spot — I didn't even own a mattress bag."
"DSNY skipped my mattress twice because it wasn't bagged. These guys took it the same afternoon, no drama."
"Cleared the whole guest room — mattress, frame, and an old dresser — in one trip. Flat price held to the dollar."
Flat by size: twin $111, full $126, queen $139, king $154. Box spring $124, set $192, bed frame $92. $75 minimum, no walk-up fee, plus 8.875% NYC sales tax. All-in — carry-down, hauling, and recycling included.
For DSNY curbside, yes — sealed in a plastic disposal bag, or it's left behind. If we remove it, no — we wrap and carry it out for you.
Free if you can bag it, carry it down, and wait for your day. For a walk-up or a same-day need, our flat fee buys you all of that.
About 75% is recyclable — steel, foam, and fiber are reclaimed. We route mattresses to recyclers over landfill where possible, at no extra charge.
