Why Fairfax Needs Reliable Mattress Removal
If you're trying to get rid of an old mattress in Fairfax, you already know it's not as simple as curbside trash — Fairfax County requires proper mattress disposal through a licensed facility, not a regular bulk pickup. Fairfax is also full of two-story colonials in neighborhoods like Fair Oaks, Fairfax Station, and Burke — homes with the primary bedroom upstairs and a stairwell in between. That's exactly the kind of mattress hauling job that goes wrong with an inexperienced crew: scraped walls, dinged railings, a mattress stuck at the landing. We navigate stairwells carefully, every time.
Fairfax's larger family homes also mean more bedrooms — and more mattress pickup calls as kids grow, guest rooms get remodeled, or a home changes hands. It's one of the most common single-item calls we get across Fairfax, City of Fairfax, and Fairfax Station.

"I highly recommend DMV Go Junk. The owner, Matt, was a genuinely courteous and professional gentleman. He arrived when he said he would and quickly removed a mattress and box spring for me. It's nice to do business with someone who is dependable and treats customers with respect. I would be happy to use his services again and I recommend him to anyone needing junk or clutter removal."
— Janet · Fairfax, VA · Google Review"Matt was great to work with. I filled out the form on their website this morning for a mattress and box spring removal, received a quote within about 15 minutes, and everything was picked up the same day. Their pricing was fair, communication was excellent, and the whole process was quick and easy. Although they're based in Fairfax, they also came out to Chevy Chase without any issues. I highly recommend DMV Go Junk to anyone in the DMV area looking for reliable junk removal."

Mattress pricing is set by size, not guesswork: Twin or Full is $99, Queen is $119, and King is $129. A box spring on its own is $79, or a mattress and box spring set together starts from $149. A full bedroom set — mattress, box spring, frame, and dresser — starts from $249. If you're removing a mattress as part of a larger job, like a full home cleanout, that gets priced by volume instead — how much of our trailer the whole load fills — and we'll always text you a firm number before we show up, not an estimate that changes at the door.
Yes. A huge share of Fairfax housing stock — especially in neighborhoods like Fair Oaks, Fairfax Station, and Burke — is two-story colonials with the primary bedroom upstairs and a stairwell with at least one tight turn at the landing. This is exactly the kind of job where an inexperienced crew scrapes a wall or dings a railing. We've done this enough times to know how to angle a King mattress through a stairwell turn without touching the drywall, and we always ask about stairs and doorway widths when we quote so there are no surprises on the day of.
Yes — same-day is often available, even for last-minute calls. One of our real Fairfax jobs started exactly that way: the customer found us on Google Maps and called on a Tuesday morning while we were already working a nearby job, and we made it work the same day anyway, arriving within the hour and finishing in under thirty minutes. If you call or text early in the day, same-day is realistic more often than not.
Mattresses can't legally go in regular Fairfax County curbside trash or the standard bulk pickup program — they have to be taken to a licensed transfer station specifically equipped to handle mattress disposal and mattress recycling. We never dump mattresses on the side of the road or in an illegal spot to save time; every mattress we remove goes through proper disposal channels, which is part of why our pricing reflects an actual disposal cost, not just a hauling fee.
Yes — mattress, box spring, and the metal or wood bed frame underneath can all go in the same trip, and most Fairfax customers ask for exactly that combination since they're replacing the whole bed at once. Just mention what's included when you book (mattress only, mattress plus box spring, or the full frame too) so we bring the right straps and dollies and don't have to make a second trip back to the truck.
