The Challenge of Mattress Disposal in Oakland 

 

In Oakland, bulky item pickup is only available by a pre-scheduled appointment. If you simply take your old mattress out to the curb hoping for regular trash pickup, not only will it be left curbside, but you may also be subject to a hefty city fine. According to the City of Oakland, residents and businesses must place their bulky junk items (such as mattresses) at the curb by 6 a.m. on the day of your appointment to ensure collection.  Set-outs over the allowed amounts are also subject to an additional fee. 

Though bulky junk collection is free, you can only get rid of 4 cubic yards of waste at once. For people who live in apartments or multi-family residences, you are restricted to only two mattresses or box springs per bulky junk recollection appointment. 

With the average mattress weighting between 50 and 150 pounds, moving your mattress out to the curb in front of your home, apartment, or business is no small feat. Furthermore, having to wait several weeks for an available bulky junk collection date may not feasible for many people. When you hire Junk King of Alameda for your mattress removal need, we make it extremely easy and straightforward to get rid of your used mattresses, bedsprings, and other types of furniture. 

Our professional junk haulers will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Simply let us know what bed or mattress you need removed, and we´ll do the rest.

The Benefits that come with Recycling your Used Mattress

 

Benefits of Recycling Mattress

 

When you hire Junk King of Alameda for your mattress removal needs, you will also be making the most environmentally friendly decision. We know that somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the raw material inside a mattress can be recycled and transformed into reusable materials? When we pick up your old and used mattress, we go the extra mile to ensure that mattress does not simply end up in the nearest landfill. 

Why do we make the extra effort to donate or recycle the used mattresses we pick up? Consider the following figures: 

  • The average mattress will take at least 100 years to fully decompose when dumped in a landfill.
  • Every mattress that is dumped into a landfill takes up 23 cubic feet of space.
  • An estimated 20 million mattresses were dumped into landfills across the United States, and that number is expected to grow in the coming years. 
  • Mattresses dumped in landfills are known to leach dangerous and toxic chemicals into the environment, often contaminating local water supplies.

So how you can avoid some of these damaging environmental effects whenever you purchase a new mattress or bed?

Oakland Mattress Buying and Disposal Guide

If you have reached the important decision to go out shopping for a new mattress then you will be presented with many options. You might want to stick with the same size bed that you’re sleeping on now but there’s no reason why you can’t upgrade to the next level. This would be especially true if you’re lucky enough to be sharing a bed with someone and have found that there is just not enough room for two! Among the sizes you’ll be able to pick from are the standard twin, the twin long, the double, the full and the Queen. There are also two types of king-size mattresses to select from: the Eastern King and the California King. If you’ve never had the simple pleasure of sleeping on the king-size mattress you really don’t know what you’re missing!
The King mattress is 76 inches wide and puts it at around 18 inches wider than your normal queen size bed. This allows each person 38 inches of elbow room. That’s about the same as you would get twin beds together. In fact most King mattresses come with twin box springs that make it easier to deliver. That’s because you can bend the mattress around the doorframe you can’t bend a box spring!
The California King is the same width as the Eastern King but it’s longer by about 4 inches. This is a great choice for people who are six tall or taller and also comes with twin box springs. It might seem like a bit of access to sleep on your own in a King size mattress but you certainly can’t complain about running out of space with a King mattress. Even with all that extra space you’ll still be able to “meet in the middle” if you so desire.
Before making the switch from a Queen to a King you need to make sure your bedroom can accommodate the extra space. This means it’s time to break out the tape measure. Although the rest of your bedroom furniture can still be part of the room you will definitely have to replace any headboard you have.
Additionally, you need to make arrangements to have your old mattress taken away. While it is true that some mattress companies offer mattress removal that is not something you can always guarantee will happen. If you hire an experienced mattress removal crew like Junk King Oakland then you can depend on them to get the job done. The other benefit is that this same crew probably will be able to remove some other junk items from your home during the same appointment. That is definitely something you won’t be able to accomplish with your mattress delivery guys.
This could mean you have the perfect opportunity to not only get rid of your old mattress but also get rid of some old furniture, electronic waste, garbage and other clutter that might be taking up space. You’ll get a good night sleep and have more room in your closets!
