Who takes mattresses in Surrey?
Mattresses are banned from Metro Vancouver garbage, so Surrey residents have three options. The City of Surrey large item pickup takes them in clear bags as part of your yearly allowance. Metro Vancouver recycling and waste centres take them for a per-item fee. Or Spartan Junk Removal carries it out of any room and delivers it to a mattress recycler.
Mattresses are banned from the garbage.
In Metro Vancouver every mattress and box spring has to go to a mattress recycler, city pickups have wrapping rules, and they fold and flop on every stairwell. We carry them out of any room, bag them when needed and drop them at a recycler, where the steel, foam and wood get reused.
Everything, start to sweep.
- Pickup from any room
- Bagging for soiled mattresses
- Delivery to a mattress recycler
- Recycling surcharge included in your estimate
Mattress disposal rules in Surrey
Every mattress and box spring in Metro Vancouver has to be recycled, not landfilled. Here’s what that means if you live in Surrey.
- Mattresses are on Metro Vancouver’s disposal ban list, so they can’t go in your garbage cart or a garbage load.
- The City of Surrey large item pickup accepts mattresses in clear bags. Each one counts toward your 6 items a year (8 with a registered secondary suite).
- Items go out by 7:30 am on your pickup day, and unused items don’t carry over.
- Metro Vancouver recycling and waste centres, such as Central Surrey, take mattresses and box springs for a per-item fee, up to four per visit.
- Neighbouring cities differ: the City of Langley pickup takes no mattresses, and Burnaby’s needs them wrapped and sealed in plastic.

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: Use your free City of Surrey pickup for one that’s already bagged at the curb, and book us for the rest.
-
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.
- Using the city pickup instead? Seal it in a clear bag and have it out by 7:30 am.
Where it all goes.
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.

Mattress Removal questions
Can I put a mattress out with my garbage in Surrey?
No. Mattresses are on Metro Vancouver’s disposal ban list, so they can’t go in the garbage. In Surrey, use the large item pickup (in a clear bag), a Metro Vancouver recycling and waste centre, or a hauler that takes it to a recycler.
Do you pick up just one mattress?
Yes. One mattress, one box spring or a whole building’s worth. We give you a free on-site quote first, so you know the estimate before anything moves.
How much does mattress removal cost in Surrey?
Spartan prices mattress pickup by the truck space it takes plus a per-mattress recycling surcharge. Both are in the upfront estimate at your free on-site quote, before anything moves.
Do I have to bag the mattress?
Not for us. We bag soiled mattresses ourselves. The City of Surrey pickup is different: it needs mattresses in clear bags.
Do you take bed frames too?
Yes. Frames, headboards and box springs can all go in the same pickup.
What about bed bugs?
Let us know ahead of time. We will wrap the mattress before carrying it out to protect your home.
