Mattress Removal in Chestermere
If you live in Chestermere, you know the drill. You've got an old mattress leaning against the garage wall, or it's been sitting in the spare bedroom for two years because nobody wants to deal with it. The city's waste transfer station has rules about what they'll take and how much it costs, and if you don't have a truck, you're stuck.
I run TJ's Junk Removal, and I handle mattress removal all over Chestermere — from the lakefront homes off Westmere Drive to the newer builds out in Dawson's Landing and the townhouses near Rainbow Road. Here's how it works and what you actually need to know.
Why Mattress Removal Is a Pain in Chestermere
Chestermere doesn't have curbside bulky pickup like Calgary does. The transfer station on 84th Street West takes mattresses, but you have to get it there yourself, and there are fees and size limits that change. A lot of people in town end up paying for a trailer rental, wrestling a queen mattress up a driveway, and losing half a Saturday — only to find out the station won't take it because of the springs or the fabric.
That's the gap I fill. I show up, load it, and take it away. No trailer rental, no trip to the dump, no guessing about the rules.
What I Deal With Most in This Town
The most common calls I get in Chestermere are:
- Moving out of a lakefront or condo unit — landlords and tenants both call when a lease ends and the mattress needs to go. This happens a lot around the developments near the lake and the rentals off Chelsea Drive.
- Upgrading after a move to a bigger house — Chestermere has seen a lot of new construction, especially in Dawson's Landing and Westmere. When people upgrade from a double to a king, the old one has to go somewhere.
- Basement and guest-room cleanouts — older homes in the established part of town near the water have basements that collect furniture over the years. I pull mattresses out of basement stairs, which is always a fun job.
- Hotels and short-term rentals — there are a few small inns and B&Bs around the lake that rotate mattresses on a schedule. I do those as recurring pickups.
How the Job Works
You text or call me at (825) 559-2766, tell me what you've got — mattress, box spring, both, how many — and where in Chestermere you are. I give you a straight price over the phone. No surprises when I show up.
On the day, I bring a crew and a truck. I handle the hauling from your bedroom, basement, or wherever it is. I protect your floors and walls, especially in the newer condos where hallways are tight. I take the mattress to a proper disposal facility, not a ditch, not a field off Range Road 281. It gets recycled where possible — most of the steel springs and foam can be broken down.
What It Costs
Pricing depends on how many pieces you have and how hard they are to get to. A single mattress and box spring out of a main-floor bedroom runs less than a full truckload job. Basement removal, multiple pieces, or second-storey access adds a bit. I'll tell you the number before I come out, and it's the number you pay.
If you're doing a full cleanout at the same time — old furniture, a broken treadmill, whatever — I can bundle it into one trip and one price. That's often the smarter move for people in the bigger houses in Dawson's Landing.
Serving Every Corner of Chestermere
I cover the whole city — the lakefront properties, the older established neighbourhoods near the water, the newer communities in the south, and everything in between. If you're in Chestermere and you've got a mattress you need gone, give me a call at (825) 559-2766. I'll come get it, and you won't have to think about it again.
Frequently asked questions
Does Chestermere's transfer station take mattresses, and should I just take it there myself?
The station on 84th Street West does take them, but there are fees, size rules, and you need a vehicle big enough. By the time you rent a trailer and spend the afternoon, you've often spent more than it costs to have me just come get it.
Can you get a mattress out of a basement or a tight condo hallway?
Yes. I bring a crew that knows how to maneuver a mattress through basement stairs, narrow hallways, and condo corridors without damaging your walls or floors. I've done plenty of these in the townhouse complexes near Rainbow Road.
Do you take box springs, bed frames, and headboards too?
Absolutely. I'll take the whole bed setup — mattress, box spring, frame, headboard, footboard. Just tell me what you've got when you call and I'll price it as one load.
What do you actually do with the mattresses after you pick them up?
They go to a licensed disposal facility, and where possible the materials get recycled — the steel springs and foam are broken down rather than landfilled. Nothing ends up dumped on a rural road around Chestermere.
How fast can you come out in Chestermere?
Usually within a day or two. If you're in a pinch — a move date, a landlord inspection, a rental turnover — tell me when you call and I'll do my best to fit you in sooner.
