Mattress Disposal Service
Mattress Disposal Service in Santa Clara County
Disposing of an old mattress can be overwhelming. They’re bulky, heavy, and not accepted by many curbside collection services, making them one of the trickiest household items to get rid of responsibly. Leaving them on the curb is not only illegal in many cities but also environmentally harmful. Transporting them to a landfill yourself can be time-consuming and inconvenient, especially without the right vehicle.
Stars Junk makes mattress removal hassle-free, sustainable, and affordable for residents and businesses across Santa Clara County. We provide a dependable, eco-conscious solution that eliminates stress and puts your comfort and environmental responsibility first. Our team does all the heavy lifting and ensures your mattress is either recycled or donated whenever possible, helping you declutter without guilt or hassle.
Why Proper Mattress Disposal Is Essential
Improper mattress disposal harms the environment and public health. Traditional dumping adds strain to landfills, where mattresses can take over a decade to break down. Components like foam, metal springs, and synthetic fabrics also release harmful chemicals if not disposed of correctly.
Key Benefits of Responsible Disposal:
Reduces landfill overflow
Prevents toxic leakage
Allows recycling of materials (metal, foam, fabric)
Supports donation programs for gently used mattresses

Health Risks of Keeping an Old Mattress
Holding on to an outdated or worn-out mattress may seem harmless, but it can negatively impact your health and well-being. Over time, mattresses accumulate allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores, which can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. Mattresses also absorb moisture from body sweat, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew. In some cases, older mattresses may harbor bed bugs or other pests, posing additional health and sanitation risks.
An old, unsupportive mattress can even lead to chronic pain. As the structural integrity degrades, it may fail to provide proper spinal alignment, contributing to back, neck, or joint pain.
“A poor-quality mattress can reduce sleep quality, increase stress, and cause long-term discomfort.”
By replacing and responsibly disposing of your mattress, you not only improve your sleep hygiene but also protect your health and create a cleaner living environment.
