Mattress Removal in Providence, RI
Mattresses are awkward to carry, many towns won't take them at the curb, and others charge extra. We pick up mattresses and box springs from any room in Providence and nearby towns.
Free and low-cost options first
If you can move it yourself, Rhode Island has some good free options. Providence residents can drop off up to 2 items with ID at DPW, 700 Allens Ave, on Saturday mornings (City of Providence). RIRRC in Johnston accepts up to 3 recyclable mattresses or box springs per day for free, then charges $70 each (RIRRC FY27). Warwick doesn't pick mattresses up at the curb but takes them at its Range Road facility, and Cranston offers free drop-off by appointment. Details for each town are in the bulky waste guide.
When a pickup makes sense
- No vehicle that fits a queen or king
- The mattress is upstairs or in a tight bedroom
- It's stained, wet or torn and may be rejected for recycling
- You're clearing a whole bedroom or a rental unit
Typical cost
National guides list single-mattress removal at about $70–$100 (HomeGuide) and $75–$150 (Angi, 2026). Adding a mattress to a larger load usually costs less than a stand-alone pickup. These are typical published ranges, not our price list.
