How to Properly Dispose of a Mattress in Las Vegas

Whether you're moving, upgrading, or just done with the old one, getting rid of a mattress in Las Vegas isn't always straightforward. Mattresses are bulky, heavy, and most curbside services won't take them. Here are five ways to handle it, from free DIY options to fully hands-off pickup.

1. Donate Your Mattress

If your mattress is still in good condition, donate it to a local charity or shelter. Many organizations accept gently used mattresses to help people in need:

• Goodwill of Southern Nevada
• Habitat for Humanity ReStores
• Las Vegas Rescue Mission

Tip: make sure the mattress is clean and free of damage before donating. Most charities won't accept anything with stains, tears, or bedbug risk.

2. Sell or Give It Away Online

If the mattress is in decent shape but you don't want to deal with charity logistics, list it on Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor. People search for affordable or free mattresses constantly. A few clear photos and a brief description usually move it within a day or two.

3. Take It to the Dump Yourself

If you have a truck and don't mind the work, you can drive it to a local landfill.

1. Clear a path through the house. Move furniture and rugs so you don't trip or damage anything.
2. Lift with your legs, not your back. Mattresses are awkward. Get help if needed.
3. Prepare your vehicle. Truck, van, or trailer. Secure the mattress with straps or bungee cords so it doesn't shift in transit.
4. Plan the route. Avoid highways if it's not fully enclosed; mattresses can come loose at speed.
5. Unload safely. Follow staff directions at the landfill. Most facilities have a designated area for bulky waste.
6. Bring payment for the dump fee. Most facilities charge per item; bring cash or a card.

4. Republic Bulk Pickup Day

Republic Services offers periodic bulk-item pickup. To use it, wrap the mattress in plastic and bring it to the curb on your scheduled pickup day.

Important: check with your HOA before leaving bulk trash at the curb. Many HOAs in the Valley fine for this if it's not on the correct day.
