Mattress Pickup vs. 311 in Chicago: What's the Real Difference?

Searching for Chicago mattress pickup usually starts with one question: “Can I just call 311?”

You can. But before you do, here’s what most Chicagoans don’t realize about how 311 bulk pickup actually works — and why thousands of residents end up booking a private mattress pickup Chicago service instead.

Feature 311 Mattress Pickup Junk Robbers
Cost Free Flat upfront price
Wait time 2–3 weeks (often longer) Same-day or next-day
Where they pick up Curb or alley only Any room, any floor
Who moves it? You drag it outside Our crew carries it out
Building types 1–4 unit buildings only Condos, high-rises, walk-ups — all of them
Scheduling Phone only, no time window Book online, 2-hour arrival window
Box spring + frame together? Separate pickups, separate waits All hauled in one trip
If they skip your pickup? Call back. Start over. We guarantee it

When to Call Us Instead

Book a same-day pickup if you’re:

  • Moving out this week and can’t wait
  • Living in a condo, high-rise, or larger apartment building
  • Clearing a full bedroom — mattress, box spring, frame, dresser
  • Dealing with a stained, soiled, or bed bug mattress
  • A landlord flipping a unit on a tight turnover
  • Physically unable (or unwilling) to haul it yourself

If you need it gone today, 311 can’t help. We can.

Same-Day Mattress Pickup in Chicago

Moving today? Getting a new mattress delivered this afternoon? We can take the old one the same day — no waiting, no rescheduling your life around it.

Here’s how same-day mattress pickup works with Junk Robbers:

  • Book by 12 p.m. — call or book online and we’ll confirm a same-day slot if one’s open
  • We arrive in 2–4 hours — you get a live arrival window, not a guess
  • No prep needed — don’t bag it, don’t move it, don’t even get it off the frame
  • Flat price quoted on arrival — no surprise fees, no hourly clock running
  • Any size, any type — queen, king, pillow top, memory foam, foldable mattress pick up today included

How to Schedule Mattress Pickup

Booking a mattress pickup takes about two minutes. Here’s how to schedule a mattress pick up with us:

  1. Call or book online. Dial our number or fill out the quick form on our site.
  2. Pick your date and window. Choose a two-hour window that fits your schedule, including same-day and next-day slots.
  3. Point to the mattress. Our team arrives, loads it up, and hauls it away — no lifting on your end.
  4. Done. You get a receipt by email, and your old mattress heads to a recycling facility whenever possible.

That’s the whole process for pickup mattress disposal. No hidden fees, no heavy lifting, no landfill guilt.

Mattress Removal Cost in Chicago

Most Chicago customers pay  $85 – $150+ for mattress haul away service. A single mattress from a ground-floor unit sits at the low end. Multiple items, walk-ups, or tight access push the price up.

Here’s what affects the cost to remove mattress:

  • Number of items — adding a box spring or frame is cheaper than a second pickup.
  • Floor level — ground floor and elevator buildings cost less than fourth-floor walk-ups.
  • Distance and access — long carries from back units or alleys add labor time.

Is mattress removal free? The City’s 311 bulk pickup is free, but it often takes two to four weeks and you have to drag the mattress to the curb yourself. Our mattress disposal services offer same-day and next-day pickup for a flat fee — no waiting, no hauling.

Bed Frame and Box Spring Removal

Most people don’t just have a mattress to get rid of — they have the whole bed. We handle mattress and bed frame removal as a single job, so you’re not calling two companies or making two trips to the curb.

What we take:

  • Mattresses (all sizes, from crib to California king)
  • Box springs — wood, metal, or fabric-covered
  • Bed frames — metal rails, wood platforms, slatted bases
  • Headboards, footboards, and canopy posts
  • Bunk beds and daybeds

No disassembly required. Our crew breaks it down, carries it out, and loads the truck. You don’t drag anything to the curb.

Searching “box spring removal near me” or need box spring pick up with the rest of the bedroom set? We’ve got it — and we also offer furniture and appliance pickup for everything else on your haul-out list.

Mattress Recycling in Chicago

Your old mattress doesn’t have to end up in a landfill. Whenever possible, we partner with local mattress recyclers to break down units into their raw materials — steel springs, foam, cotton, and wood — which get reused instead of buried.

Mattresses in good condition get routed to donation partners across the Chicago area. Everything else is disposed of at licensed transfer stations that follow Illinois EPA guidelines. It’s a core part of our mattress disposal Chicago service, not an afterthought.

Need mattress recycling pickup services? We’ll handle Chicago mattress disposal the right way — book online or call for a quote.

Put in a request for a mattress/box spring removal at 10:00 pm the day before and the mattress was gone by 11:00 am the next morning. Best rates around the city. Highly recommend.

My experience with Junk Robbers was great, from beginning to end! Ryan was easy to work with, and he was happy to accommodate me when I unexpectedly needed to change the pick-up date. I thought the pricing was fair for the quality of service and for how careful and thorough they were! Ryan kept me updated on the day-of, and they did arrive during their original estimated arrival window. Also, the payment process was so easy: they just emailed a Square link beforehand with the invoice, and I was able to pay online before their arrival. Overall, Junk Robbers was professional, timely, detailed, and very kind. Working with them made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and easy one. Highly recommend!
