Bought a new bed? We will carry the old mattress and box spring out of the house and off your hands the same day.

The delivery crew almost never takes the old one, which leaves you with a sagging king propped against the garage wall. That is where we come in. Our Cape Girardeau mattress removal service picks up your used mattress and box spring, carries them out of the bedroom, and hauls them away so you can enjoy the new bed without the old one lingering.
We cover Cape Girardeau proper along with Jackson, Scott City, Chaffee and the smaller communities scattered across Southeast Missouri. From dorm sized twins near the university to guest room queens and master bedroom kings, no mattress is too big or too worn out for us to handle.
Mattress removal is more than just the mattress. We take the whole sleep setup, including:
If you are redoing a whole guest room, we can take the frame, the nightstands and anything else that is on its way out in the same trip. Bundling saves you a second call.
We charge by how much room your items fill in our truck, not by the hour. A single mattress sits near our minimum, and adding the box spring, a frame or a second bed just fills a little more of the load. We look at what you have, give you a firm price on the spot, and stick to it. There is never a charge for the estimate itself.
| What you have | Space it uses |
|---|---|
| One mattress | Small, around our minimum |
| Mattress plus box spring | A little more than the minimum |
| Full bed set with frame | Roughly a quarter of the truck |
| Two or more complete beds | A third or more of the truck |
Mattresses are notoriously bulky and slow to break down in a landfill, so we recycle them whenever a facility will accept them. The steel springs, foam and fabric inside a mattress can often be separated and reused, and we would rather see those materials repurposed than buried. Keeping mattresses out of the ground is a small thing that adds up across Southeast Missouri, and we are glad to do our part.
Old mattresses are heavy, floppy and awkward to grip, and dragging one down a staircase alone is how people end up with a strained back or a torn bag leaking dust everywhere. There is also the matter of what might be living in an old mattress. Our crew bags and carries them cleanly, keeps the mess contained, and gets them out of your home without spreading anything through the house. You get your bedroom back, sanitized and clear.
If the new bed is arriving soon, timing matters. We offer same day and next day pickups when our schedule allows, so you can have the old mattress gone before the new one is even unwrapped.
Mattresses do not weigh a great deal, but they are unwieldy, and the larger sizes are genuinely hard for one person to steer through a doorway. Here is roughly how the common sizes stack up on our truck:
| Size | Handling notes |
|---|---|
| Twin and twin XL | Easy single carry, great for dorm and bunk beds |
| Full | Manageable, a bit floppier than a twin |
| Queen | The most common size we pick up |
| King and Cal King | Big and awkward, a two person carry |
The reasons vary, but the relief is the same. We hear from families upgrading to a new bed, parents clearing out a kid who has moved on to college, landlords resetting a furnished rental, and folks handling a loved one's estate. We also get calls after a move, when a mattress that seemed fine in the old house does not fit the new bedroom. Whatever the reason, you do not have to fold it, bag it, tie it to the roof of your car, or figure out where the landfill will even accept it. We take care of all of that, and we do our best to see the mattress recycled rather than buried.
It is also worth knowing that many trash services around Cape Girardeau will not take a mattress with the regular curbside pickup, and even when they do, it can sit at the curb for days waiting on a special collection. Handing it to us skips all of that. We load it, drive off with it, and the same visit can clear out any other bedroom furniture you are done with, so the room is completely reset in one stop.
