Brisbane Mattress Disposal

Mattress disposal in Brisbane, carried out of any room.

One old mattress or a whole bedroom's worth, lifted out of the bedroom by a PicUp hauler and driven away the same day. Mattresses go to a recycler wherever one is available, so the tip is the last stop rather than the first.

  • A single mattress or a full bedroom set, pickups seven days a week
  • Haulers carry it out for you, including down a flight of stairs
  • Taken to a mattress recycler where one is available

Mattress disposal in Brisbane without a trailer or a tip queue

A queen mattress will not fold, will not fit in a hatchback, and is too heavy for one person to carry down a staircase. That is why so many end up leaning against a fence for weeks. PicUp turns mattress disposal in Brisbane into a single booking: a hauler arrives with a ute, van or pantech, walks into the bedroom, and takes the mattress out of the house for you.

There is no trailer to borrow, no strapping, no Saturday morning spent in a queue at a transfer station. Every item up to three metres long and 150kg is inside the fleet envelope, so a king mattress with an ensemble base underneath it is a normal job rather than a special request.

What PicUp collects on a mattress job

Most bookings are one bedroom's contents, cleared in a single visit. Typical loads include:

  • Single, king single, double, queen and king mattresses
  • Ensemble bases, slat bases and timber or metal bed frames
  • Bunks, trundles and cot mattresses from a kids' room
  • Several mattresses at once from a share house or a rental
  • Bedside tables, wardrobes and the rest of the bedroom furniture

Common Brisbane mattress pickups

The new bed arrives tomorrowThe retailer will deliver but will not take the old mattress, so a pickup is booked for the same morning and the bedroom is clear before the delivery van turns up.

Upstairs bedroom in a QueenslanderA queen mattress at the top of a narrow internal staircase, which is a two person carry rather than something a homeowner should attempt alone.

End of a share house leaseThree or four mattresses and a pile of bed bases leaving at once, timed between the final clean and the exit inspection.

Guest room turning into an officeOne mattress and base out, nothing else, which is the smallest kind of booking PicUp runs.

Pickups run right across Greater Brisbane, from Paddington and Coorparoo out to Chermside, Carindale and the bayside suburbs. If the mattress is part of a bigger clear-out, look at junk removal in Brisbane, and if the mattress is moving house rather than being thrown out, small moves in Brisbane covers one to ten items.

How a PicUp mattress pickup works

Carried out, not dragged out

The mattress does not need to be at the kerb. Haulers walk into the bedroom and carry it out, upstairs bedrooms included.

Pay for the space it takes

Junk removal is priced on the room your load uses in the vehicle, so one mattress is never charged like a full load.

Recycler first

Mattresses go to a recycler wherever one is available, and only otherwise to a licensed transfer station.

What a Brisbane mattress disposal quote covers

Mattress disposal is quoted on the space the load takes up in the vehicle plus the labour to get it out of the house. The price is fixed before you confirm the booking and does not move on the day unless the load itself changes.

Every quote includes:

  • A hauler who lifts and loads the mattress, stairs included
  • A ute, cargo van or pantech matched to how much is going
  • The drive to the recycler or licensed transfer station
  • Disposal of the mattress, base and any bedroom furniture with it
  • Live tracking on the day and a fixed price up front

Not included: hazardous material never travels with a mattress load. That rules out asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste. A mattress that has been left out in the rain is still fine to book, so send a photo if you are unsure.

Booking a Brisbane mattress pickup: book online at picup.com.au/bookings in about a minute, or call 1300 174 287 if the access is tricky and worth explaining first. Photos of the room and the stairs make the quote more accurate.

Brisbane mattress disposal FAQs

How much does mattress disposal cost in Brisbane?

PicUp prices mattress disposal on the space the load takes up in the vehicle rather than by the hour, so a single mattress uses a small share of a ute and is quoted accordingly. Enter the items or send a photo and a fixed price comes back before you confirm the booking.

Do I need to get the mattress outside before the hauler arrives?

No. Haulers carry the mattress out of the bedroom themselves, including from an upstairs room or down an external staircase. Clearing a path from the bedroom door to the driveway is helpful, but the lifting is not your job.

Is the mattress recycled or does it go to landfill?

Mattresses are taken to a recycler wherever one is available, and only otherwise to a licensed transfer station. Recycling is the first option on every mattress booking rather than an extra you have to ask for.

Can the bed base and frame go at the same time as the mattress?

Yes. Ensemble bases, slat bases, bed heads and timber or metal frames all fit alongside the mattress, and so does the rest of the bedroom furniture. Anything up to three metres long and 150kg per item is within the PicUp fleet envelope.

How soon can a mattress be picked up in Brisbane?

Same-day pickups are available across Greater Brisbane seven days a week, subject to hauler availability in your suburb. If the mattress has to be gone before a new bed is delivered or a lease ends, book a few days ahead so the time slot is locked in.
