Mattress Removal & Disposal in Kingwood, TX
New mattress arriving and the old one has to go? Here are your real options in Kingwood, from free City heavy trash to a scheduled haul-away.
Request a free estimateOption 1: City of Houston heavy trash (free)
Kingwood homes on City curbside service can set mattresses and box springs out on their heavy trash day. The City's Solid Waste Management Department lists mattresses and box springs as accepted heavy trash, collected every other month for eligible addresses, with an 8 cubic yard limit per set-out (City of Houston heavy trash rules, checked October 14, 2026). Set out between 6:00 p.m. the Friday before and 7:00 a.m. on your day. See our heavy trash pickup guide for the full rules.
The catch: your month may be weeks away, you have to get the mattress to the curb yourself, and some Kingwood HOAs restrict how long items can sit out.
Option 2: Donate it
Many charities won't take used mattresses at all, and those that do usually require no stains, tears or sagging. Call before you haul it anywhere.
Option 3: The store takes it
Some retailers will haul away your old mattress when they deliver a new one, sometimes for a fee. Ask when you order.
Option 4: Hire a hauler
A full-service hauler carries the mattress out of the bedroom (including upstairs), loads it and takes it to a disposal or recycling facility. That's the simplest choice when you're on a deadline, can't lift it, or have a bed frame, box spring and other furniture going too. Some facilities charge extra disposal fees for mattresses, so ask when you get your estimate. Wrapping a mattress in plastic before moving it keeps things clean and is a good idea if there's any chance of bed bugs; tell the hauler up front if so.
