Getting Rid of an Old Mattress and Box Spring in Spring Hill, FL

In Spring Hill, the free first step is Hernando County bulk pickup: Coastal Waste curbside customers in unincorporated Hernando County get six bulk collections a year (up to 10 items each), and mattresses are accepted - call (352) 540-6457. If that does not fit, or donation and free listings do not work, Gone Fast Hauling picks up a mattress and box spring as a paid small-load removal, with route-day curbside pickup starting at $55.

Start with county bulk pickup

If you are a Coastal Waste customer with curbside service in unincorporated Hernando County, you receive six bulk collections a year. Each collection can include up to 10 items and is included with your curbside service. Mattresses are accepted as bulk waste.

Call Coastal Waste at (352) 540-6457 to schedule. Pickup should be within seven business days of your request. Do not put anything at the curb until 6 p.m. the night before collection. Ask whether your box spring qualifies and explain exactly what you have before setting it out.

Coastal Waste cannot collect items that use freon, gasoline, propane, or other flammable or hazardous waste. Extra items beyond the included allowance need a pre-paid added fee. City of Brooksville residents use a different service number: (352) 540-3810.

Try donation or a free listing

If the mattress and box spring are in good shape, call donation centers or charity stores and ask whether they will accept them. Many do not accept used mattresses or furniture that is stained, torn, or has pet hair. Calling first can save you a wasted trip.

You can also offer the items through Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or a curb-alert post. Be clear about the condition and whether the person must carry the items. Free listings can work, but heavy or worn items often remain because nobody wants to pick them up.

When paid pickup makes sense

A paid local hauler may make sense when the county schedule does not work, a donation center says no, or a free listing gets no response. It can also help when you need a clear price and a confirmed pickup instead of waiting to see whether someone comes.
