Mattress Removal in Elmwood
Providence’s free bulky pickup takes couches and fridges, but not mattresses. In Elmwood, that usually leaves a queen leaning against a hallway wall until someone figures out the drop-off. We take it from the bedroom instead: a queen is $103, a box spring $92.
A South Side Neighborhood
Elmwood is one of the South Side’s official neighborhoods, next to Lower and Upper South Providence, the West End and Washington Park. The Hospital District fills part of Upper South Providence nearby.
Many homes here are multi-family, with upstairs bedrooms reached by narrow stairs. That’s exactly where a king mattress gets stuck on the way out.
Your Options for an Old Mattress
Do It Yourself
The city’s DPW drop-off at 700 Allens Ave takes mattresses on Saturdays, two per visit with a Providence ID. The RIRRC facility in Johnston is the other free option.
Have It Carried Out
Book a flat-priced pickup and the crew brings it down the stairs, loads it and delivers it for recycling where possible.
