Mattress disposal rules in Metro Vancouver
Every mattress and box spring in Metro Vancouver has to be recycled, not landfilled. Here’s what that means for you.

- Every mattress and box spring has to go to a mattress recycler, where the steel, foam and wood are separated.
- Some city programs won’t take mattresses at all: the City of Langley’s pickup excludes them. We take them as they are, from any room, with no wrapping needed.

Good to know

In-unit labour may apply when items are upstairs, in elevators or in backyards, based on access and distance.
Either way, it’s part of your estimate before anything moves.
About surchargesWhat affects the cost of mattress removal
Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.

How many mattresses and box springs
Each mattress and box spring carries a recycling surcharge, because each one goes to a mattress recycler.
To lower it: Clearing a whole house or building? Mattresses from every room go on the same visit and the same estimate.
-
Size and truck space
A crib mattress takes less room than a king with its box spring and frame. The truck room it all fills is part of the estimate.
To lower it: Add the bed frame, headboard and any other junk to the same visit rather than booking twice.
-
Stairs and access
A king mattress folds and flops on every stairwell. Upstairs bedrooms, elevators and long carries may add in-unit labour.
To lower it: If it’s already on the driveway or in an open carport, you get 15% off as a curbside pickup.
How to get ready for mattress pickup
- Strip the sheets, mattress protector and pillows.
- Tell us about bed bugs or soiling ahead of time so we can wrap it before carrying it out.
- Take the bed frame apart if you like, or leave it for us; we bring tools.
- Clear the hallway and stairs, and book the elevator if you’re in a condo.
Where your items go
Mattresses are taken apart at the recycler: steel springs, foam, wood and fabric are recovered and reused. Little ends up in the landfill.

See all reviews on Google (opens in a new tab)Just call them. They make your heaviest most problematic junk disappear like magic. We had an amazing experience with Spartan Junk Removal! Easy to schedule and super speedy response. Stress free, awesome service, plus great humour. We had a bunch of old equipment that needed to be gone. It was quite a big job but they took care of absolutely everything from start to finish. They were so efficient and all the heavy lifting was done so quick and our space was taken care of. They totally made this stressful job feel completely effortless. Everything was cleared out in no time like magic. And it’s so rare to find genuine people to work with these days and just couldn’t be happier with these folks. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team that’s got your back. You won’t regret this.
