Absolutely!

As long as your mattress is in good condition, it can be donated. Your mattress should be free of stains, rips, or tears, and not be broken in any way. Each local charitable organization that accepts mattress donations will have slightly different standards for what they take, so it is best to check with them before you drop it off.

Does JUNK XPRESS take old mattresses with bed bugs?

Rules and regulations differ from city to city, so accepting mattresses with bed bugs might not be possible for every JUNK XPRESS location.

If you are dealing with a bed bug problem, please let us know ahead of time. If we are able to accept it, we ask that you have a pest control professional treat and wrap your mattress completely in plastic before we arrive. It should also be labeled as “Contains Bed Bugs” to alert others who may handle the mattress. This helps to ensure that the bed bugs from your mattress are not spread to other people's homes.
