Mattress Removal in Orland Park, IL
Mattresses, box springs, and bed frames picked up from the bedroom in Orland Park, wrapped before they leave the house.
A mattress is awkward rather than heavy, which is why people underestimate it. A queen box spring does not bend, and it does not care that your stairway has a ninety degree turn at the bottom. Add a king set that came in as two split box springs and a metal frame with bolts nobody has touched in twelve years, and a simple job turns into an afternoon. Orland Park Junk pulls the whole bed out of the room, bags it if it needs bagging, loads it, and disposes of it. Delivery crews will not take your old set unless you paid for that, and even then they usually will not go to the basement.

What We Remove
The Village will take one mattress, and that matters
We would rather tell you this than sell around it. Orland Park's waste page lists a mattress by name as an example of the one bulk item that Waste Management collects with your weekly pickup. If you have a single mattress, you can get it out of the house yourself, and you can have it at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection day, that is free and you should do it.
The limit is the word one. A standard bed is a mattress, a box spring, and a frame, which is three bulk items and therefore three weeks of setting things out. Two bedrooms is most of a summer. The other catch is the weather. A mattress that sits through a rain is a sponge that weighs three times what it did, and a wet set sitting at the parkway is the kind of thing that generates a call from the Village rather than a pickup.
Townhome and condo associations here often contract their own hauler, so the Village's bulk allowance may not apply to your building at all. Check before you drag anything down a shared hallway.
Bed bugs, and why you should just tell us
A good share of mattress calls are bed bug calls, and nobody wants to say it out loud. Say it anyway. It changes how we do the job, not what we charge.
When we know, we bring plastic mattress bags and seal the mattress and box spring in the bedroom before either one moves through the house. Nothing gets dragged down a hallway uncovered, nothing gets set on your living room floor, and the wrapped set goes on the truck last so it does not touch anything else on board. Cutting a mattress in a bedroom to get it around a turn is something we avoid entirely on a bed bug job.
If you are treating the room, the mattress should leave the same day the exterminator says so, not a week later. We can usually work to that.
There is no good recycling answer around here, and here is why
Some states run a statewide mattress recycling program funded by a fee at purchase. Illinois is not one of them, and it shows in the local options. The Habitat ReStore serving the south suburbs will not accept mattresses or box springs. The CHaRM drop off center that Cook County runs with South Suburban College in South Holland takes electronics, foam, and textiles for free, but mattresses and furniture are specifically not accepted there either.
That leaves a transfer station, and that is where most mattresses out of Orland Park go. If a set is genuinely new and clean we will try to place it, but we will not tell you a stained fifteen year old pillow top is getting recycled when it is not.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to get rid of a mattress in Orland Park?
A mattress alone is $125 to $175 and a mattress with a box spring is $175 to $225, including the carry out and the disposal fee. Adding the frame runs $50 to $100. Two full sets in one trip is $300 to $375.
Can I just put my mattress at the curb?
For one mattress, yes. The Village's waste page names a mattress as an example of the one bulk item Waste Management takes with your weekly collection. It needs to be at the curb by 6 a.m. and it needs to stay dry, and remember the box spring counts as a second item the following week.
Do you take mattresses that have bed bugs?
Yes. Tell us when you text so we bring bags. We seal the mattress and box spring in the bedroom before they move, and the wrapped set loads last so it does not contact anything else in the truck. Same price.
Will you carry it up from the basement or down from the second floor?
Yes, that is the point of the service. Two people come out, and a box spring that will not make a stair turn gets handled in the room rather than forced around the corner.
Do you recycle mattresses?
Honestly, almost never, and neither does anybody else around here. Illinois has no statewide mattress recycling program, the ReStore will not take them, and the CHaRM center in South Holland excludes them. Clean, near new sets we will try to place. Everything else goes to a transfer station.
