MISSION 07Kalamazoo, MIACTIVE
PAYLOAD / MATTRESSES AND BOX SPRINGS

mattress removal
kalamazoo.

At the end of every WMU semester there are mattresses on curbs from Vine Street to Oakland Drive, and the city does not take them on a normal pickup. The Kalamazoo crew takes mattresses and box springs of any size and condition, bags each one before it goes on the truck, and sends the clean ones to recycling.

PAYLOAD MANIFEST

What goes on the truck.

Loads with the crew

  • Twin through California king mattresses
  • Box springs and foundations
  • Memory foam and hybrid mattresses, rolled or flat
  • Crib mattresses and futon pads
  • Adjustable bases and metal bed frames

Stays behind, and why

  • Mattresses soaked with liquid that will leak in the truck, unless bagged first
  • Hotel or facility quantities without a scheduled bulk pickup
PRE-FLIGHT

Before the crew arrives.

STEP 01

Strip the bedding. The crew takes the mattress, not the sheets, unless you want those gone too.

STEP 02

Say so if bed bugs are possible. Those units are sealed in your room and loaded last.

STEP 03

Lean it near the door or in the garage.

STEP 04

Count pieces. A king box spring is often two halves.

PRICING

How it is priced.

Mattresses in Kalamazoo are priced per piece, with the box spring counted separately. One mattress is a minimum charge. Add the frame and headboard and the total moves very little. Bulk pricing applies for landlords clearing several units.

SPLASHDOWN

Where it lands.

Clean, dry mattresses go to recycling where springs, foam and fiber are separated. Box springs are broken down for lumber and steel. Stained, wet or bug-affected units are sealed and taken to a licensed transfer station.

QUESTIONS ABOUT MATTRESS REMOVAL

Mission log.

The Kalamazoo crew answers these on the phone every day. Here they are in writing.

(269) 788-1199
A PERSON ANSWERS. NOT A CALL CENTER.
Q 01Do you pick up a single mattress in Kalamazoo?

Yes, as a minimum charge, usually same day with a morning call.

Q 02How do you handle bed bugs in Kalamazoo?

Mention it when you call. The mattress and box spring are bagged and sealed in your room, loaded last, and the truck is treated after. Honesty protects the next stop.

Q 03Can you clear mattresses from a whole student building after finals?

Yes. Landlords book one window and the crew works through the units. Bulk pricing applies.

Q 04Does a box spring cost the same as a mattress in Kalamazoo?

Yes, each piece is priced the same. A split king box spring counts as two pieces, so a king bed is three items in total.

Q 05Can you get a mattress down from a third-floor rental on Davis Street?

Yes. Mattresses bend around corners. Box springs are stiff, and the crew has a strap trick for those.

Q 06Are mattresses recycled in Kalamazoo County?

Clean ones go to a recycler that pulls them apart. Not every unit qualifies and the crew tells you which way yours goes.

Q 07Do you take crib mattresses and futon pads in Kalamazoo?

Yes. They are priced as small items and ride along cheaply with a full-size mattress or anything else on the truck.

Q 08What about the frame and headboard?

Add them. Metal frames are recycled and solid headboards are donated.

REQUEST A PRICE

Point the Kalamazoo crew at it. Consider it handled.

Say what needs to go and roughly when. You get a call back with a window and a ballpark, and the firm price happens at your door.
