Getting rid of a mattress in Irricana isn't as simple as it looks
Irricana's a small town, and that cuts both ways. On one hand, you've got neighbours who'll help you drag a mattress down the stairs. On the other, there's no big-box dump or transfer station on the edge of town where you can just drop it off. The nearest landfill that takes mattresses is a real drive, and if you don't have a truck or a trailer, you're stuck paying someone to haul it — or worse, leaving it out back where it rots and draws mice.
That's where we come in. TJ's Junk Removal is based right here in southern Alberta, and we do mattress removal in Irricana every week. We show up, load the mattress, and take it away. You don't touch it again.
How the job works here
Most of our Irricana jobs start the same way. You call or text, tell us what you've got, and we give you a straight price over the phone. No hidden fees, no "we'll see when we get there." If you're not sure whether you have a standard twin, a queen, a king, or an old box spring still attached, we'll ask a couple of questions and sort it out.
On the day, we come to your place — whether that's a house on Main Street, a place off Range Road 250, or an acreage out past the golf course. We bring our own crew and our own truck, so you don't need to help lift anything. We work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, because we know most people in Irricana are working during the day.
We take the mattress to a proper disposal facility and make sure it's handled the right way. You don't have to worry about where it ends up.
What people in Irricana actually need
The jobs we see around here fall into a few patterns:
- Farm and acreage cleanouts. Old mattresses that have sat in a bunkhouse or a spare room for years, sometimes with rusted springs or mouse damage. We'll load them without complaint.
- Rental turnovers. Landlords in Irricana and the surrounding areas who need a unit cleared between tenants. We can usually get you in within a couple of days.
- Moving out. Whether you're heading to Calgary, Airdrie, or somewhere else entirely, you don't want to haul the old mattress with you. We pick it up before you go.
- Settling an estate. When a family member passes and you're clearing the house on 2nd Avenue or out on the county grid roads, we handle the heavy lifting respectfully.
What affects the price
Honest answer: it depends on a few things.
- Size. A twin is cheaper than a king. A mattress with a box spring costs more than one without, because it's more to haul.
- Location in the house. If the mattress is in a basement with a narrow stairwell, that takes more time. We'll tell you upfront if that's going to cost extra.
- How many you have. Got three old mattresses from a rental unit? We'll bundle them into one trip and give you a better rate than if each one was a separate call.
- The drive. We're local, so we're not charging you Calgary travel fees. But if you're way out on the county grid, we'll factor in the extra time honestly.
We don't do surprise charges. The price we quote is the price you pay.
