Mattress or box spring
From $95
Mattresses take a lot of truck space for their weight, and most facilities charge a separate per-mattress fee because they are difficult to process.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Size — twin, full, queen or king
- The stair run and any turn it has to clear
- Whether the box spring is coming too
Where it goes: Mattress recycling where a program accepts it; otherwise disposal at a licensed facility with the fee recorded on your job record.
Sofa or sectional
From $110
A sofa is priced by the space it takes plus the difficulty of getting it out. Stairs, tight turns and vestibule doors matter more than the weight does.
Show us in the walkthrough
- The doorway and stair turn it has to clear
- Whether the legs come off
- How many pieces a sectional has
Where it goes: Donation partner if it is clean and structurally sound; otherwise a licensed disposal facility.
Refrigerator or freezer
From $125
Anything with a compressor has to have its refrigerant professionally recovered before it can be scrapped, and that recovery is a real, separate cost.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Whether it is in a basement and the stair run out
- Whether the doors can be removed
- If it is still plugged in and full
Where it goes: Refrigerant recovery, then the metal body is recycled as scrap rather than landfilled.
Washer or dryer
From $110
Heavy and awkward, but almost entirely steel — so the disposal side is cheap and most of the price is the carry.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Whether it is disconnected already
- The stair run and any low header
- Whether it is stacked
Where it goes: Scrap metal recycling. We do not disconnect gas lines.
Television
From $85
Electronics cannot go in a normal load. TVs are handled on an e-waste stream and older CRT sets cost significantly more to process.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Screen size
- Whether it is a flat panel or an older CRT / rear-projection set
- Whether the stand or mount is going too
Where it goes: Licensed electronics recycler on a separate e-waste stream.
Hot tub
From $450
A hot tub has to be drained, cut apart on site and carried out in sections. Almost all of the cost is labor and crew size, not disposal.
Show us in the walkthrough
- The full tub and the deck or pad it sits on
- The route out — gates, fences, stairs, corners
- Whether it is drained and disconnected
Where it goes: Shell and frame disposed of, metal and motor components separated as scrap.
Piano
From $350
Pianos are dense, awkward and unforgiving. They need extra crew and equipment, and grands need partial disassembly.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Whether it is a spinet, upright or grand
- Every stair and turn between the piano and the truck
- The floor type along the route
Where it goes: Playable instruments are offered to a reuse partner first; otherwise disposal with metal harp recycled.
Treadmill or exercise equipment
From $105
Heavier than it looks and almost always in a basement. Cost tracks the stair run and whether it can be folded or broken down.
Show us in the walkthrough
- Where it sits and the stair run out
- Whether the deck folds
- Whether it is a single machine or a home gym
Where it goes: Steel frame recycled as scrap; electronics separated.
