How to Dispose of a Mattress in the Fraser Valley

What is the easiest way to get rid of an old mattress in the Fraser Valley?

The easiest option is having your old mattress hauled away when a new one is delivered — Mr. Liquidator removes old mattresses and box springs for $40 per piece with any delivery in the Fraser Valley, including proper disposal. If you are not buying a new mattress, your best options are Canadian Mattress Recycling in Hope ($22 per piece), your local landfill or transfer station, or a junk removal service.

Your 5 options, compared

Option 1: Have it removed with your new mattress delivery

If your old mattress is leaving because a new one is arriving, this is the option with zero extra trips. Our delivery team takes the old mattress and box spring away on the same visit, for $40 per piece, and handles the disposal properly.

Is $40 worth it when the dump charges less? Honest answer: it depends on your truck situation. The $40 covers two people carrying it out of your bedroom, loading it, the drive, and the disposal fee — a DIY landfill run costs less in cash but needs a truck, a second set of hands for anything queen-sized or bigger, and about an hour of your day. If you have all three, the options below are genuinely cheaper and we've listed them honestly. It works with any delivery area we serve — Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Agassiz, Mission, Hope, Langley, Surrey, Maple Ridge, Harrison Hot Springs and everywhere between. Details are on our delivery and pickup page, or call (604) 392-6099.

Option 2: Canadian Mattress Recycling in Hope

The Fraser Valley's dedicated mattress recycler is Canadian Mattress Recycling at 1046 4th Ave, Hope, BC V0X 1L4 — about 30 minutes east of Chilliwack on Highway 1. Drop-off costs $22 per mattress, box spring or futon (medical beds $75), and they're open Monday to Friday, 7:00am–3:30pm, closed statutory holidays. They dismantle each unit so the steel, foam, wood and fibre get reused instead of buried — close to 100% of every mattress is recycled. They also arrange residential pickups by quote if you can't make the drive. Confirm current rates and hours at canadianmattressrecycling.com.

Option 3: Your local landfill or transfer station

Chilliwack: the Bailey Sanitary Landfill at 5940 Matheson Road (off Bailey Road) is open daily 8:00am–5:00pm and accepts mattresses and box springs. Fees are weight-based — $140 per tonne with a $7.50 minimum per load — so a single mattress trip typically lands near the minimum. Rates change; check the City of Chilliwack landfill page or call 604-793-2907 before you load the truck.

Abbotsford: the city lists its drop-off locations on the official Transfer Stations & Recycling Depots page — mattresses collected there are forwarded on to recyclers in Delta and Hope, so fees vary by depot. Use the city's What Goes Where tool or call the depot for current mattress rates before you go.

Option 4: Junk removal services

Companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and local Fraser Valley haulers will come to you, carry the mattress out and take it away. Pricing is quoted per job based on what you have and where you are — there's no standard flat rate, so get a written quote first and ask whether the mattress goes to a recycler or the landfill. This route makes sense when you have no truck, no new mattress coming, or a garage's worth of other items going too.

Option 5: Donate it — but only if it's genuinely clean

A newer mattress in clean condition can sometimes find a second life through local charities or online marketplaces. Be honest about condition: most charities decline used mattresses for hygiene reasons, and BC has resale rules around used mattresses. If it's stained, sagging or more than about eight years old, recycling is the better route.

What NOT to do

Don't leave a mattress beside a dumpster or on a rural roadside — Fraser Valley municipalities treat this as illegal dumping and fines apply. And don't store a damp mattress in a shed or barn "for later" — mould turns a disposal job into a hazmat job.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to dispose of a mattress in Chilliwack?

As of July 2026: $40 per piece with a Mr. Liquidator delivery, $22 per piece at Canadian Mattress Recycling in Hope, or a weight-based fee at Bailey Sanitary Landfill ($140/tonne, $7.50 minimum — a single mattress usually lands near the minimum). Junk removal services quote per job.

Can I put a mattress in the garbage?

No — regular curbside collection in Fraser Valley municipalities does not take mattresses. They must go to a landfill, transfer station, recycler, or be picked up by a removal service.

Do you have to buy a mattress from Mr. Liquidator to get removal?

Yes — our $40-per-piece removal is a service we add to mattress deliveries, not a stand-alone haul-away service. If you're not buying, Canadian Mattress Recycling in Hope or a junk removal service is your best bet.

What happens to recycled mattresses?

Recyclers strip them into steel springs, foam, fibre and wood — Canadian Mattress Recycling reports close to 100% of each mattress gets reused in new products instead of going to the landfill.
