Common questions
Where do you operate, and how does booking work?
We operate nationwide (all 50 U.S. states), and new providers join daily. Customers can search the directory by ZIP, city, or state; pickup bookings are organized by county + state.
Our online booking form streamlines item details, what’s accepted, pickup availability, and quote requests to reduce back-and-forth. After you submit, the provider manually approves the request; you’ll get a confirmed 2-hour arrival window. Outdoor/curbside pickup is available (you don’t have to be home), and we also remove from inside homes, apartments, or storage units—even with stairs or tight hallways. We prioritize reuse & recycling and clearly label disposal methods, conditions accepted, and items accepted.
What happens to my mattress?
We favor reuse and certified recycling whenever possible, and clearly label services that offer recycling or donation.
Can I get a same-day pickup?
In many areas yes. Request a quote and select “soonest available” to check today’s schedules.
