Mattress Removal in Riverside
East Riverside and Montopolis (78741/78742) — the apartment corridor between UT and the airport, where the complexes turn over constantly and the dumpster contract bans mattresses. We carry yours down the exterior stairs and out at a flat by-size price — twin $82, queen $103, set $143 — no stair fee, same-day when a slot's open. Se habla español: precio fijo, sin sorpresas.

How it works on the corridor
1 · Photo of the bed
Mattress, box spring, the frame if it goes too — one photo and the flat by-size price comes back in seconds, in English or Spanish.
2 · Pick a window that fits work
Riverside crews run daily, with evening and weekend slots — you don't have to burn a shift waiting on a pickup.
3 · Carried down and gone
Down the exterior stairwell, past the corral, onto the truck. Nothing left where the property manager's camera can see it.
How much does mattress removal cost in Riverside?
Flat by size — the same published list across Austin, no corridor markup, no stair math.
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Twin mattress | $82 |
| Full mattress | $94 |
| Queen mattress | $103 |
| King mattress | $114 |
| Box spring | $92 |
| Mattress + box spring set | $143 |
| Bunk bed — the family-apartment standard | $123 |
| Crib | $67 |
$75 minimum; the carry-down and disposal are inside the price, and there's no stair fee — a third-floor walk-up costs the same as a ground-floor door. Clearing more than the bed? A dresser, the couch and the bags quote together in one number, and a full end-of-lease clear prices as truck-fill from $241 for a quarter truck.
5 ways to lose a mattress in Riverside
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave it at the complex dumpster | "Free" | Instant | Banned by the dumpster contract — photographed and billed back to your unit or deposit |
| Austin Resource Recovery bulk pickup | Free | — | Doesn't apply: garden-apartment complexes are on private hauling, not city collection |
| Donate it yourself | Free | A borrowed truck and a trip | Charities accept clean mattresses only, at their dock, during their hours — and you carry it down first |
| Self-haul to the landfill | Gas + gate fees | Half a day | TDS Creedmoor bills a two-ton minimum (~$60/ton, 2025) — for one bed, without a truck you'd have to rent |
| JunkRabbit | $111–$192 flat | Same-day | None — carried down, receipted, disposal included |
Does the city pick up mattresses on East Riverside?
For apartment residents — which is most of the corridor — no. Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk program (austintexas.gov/service/ondemand) serves households on city residential curbside collection. The garden complexes along East Riverside Drive contract private commercial haulers instead: the corral dumpster is their equipment, emptied on their schedule, under a contract that covers bagged trash and nothing else. Renters here have no city bulk request to file — the program was never available to them.
That's why the corral keeps collecting mattresses anyway, and why the complexes respond with cameras and bill-backs. The single-family blocks of Montopolis are the exception — houses on city collection can use the on-demand program within its caps — but for the apartment corridor the honest choice is a paid haul or a risky one.
We built the paid one to be painless: flat price known before booking, carried down from any floor, gone the same day, receipt in your email.
What we haul from Riverside apartments
- Mattresses and box springs — every size, including the set deal at $143.
- Bunk beds ($123) and cribs ($67) — family apartments are half this corridor; outgrown beds are a weekly job.
- Bed frames and futons — metal, wood, IKEA, disassembled as needed on the landing.
- The rest of the move-out — couch, dresser, mini fridge, TV and the bags, one quote.
- Whole-apartment clears — end of lease, flat truck-fill from $241.
- Landlord and property-manager turns — left-behind furniture between tenants, invoiced cleanly.
What happens to it after pickup
Clean, reusable beds and furniture route toward donation — the Austin Furniture Bank furnishes homes for families coming out of crisis and takes exactly what a move-out produces, and Goodwill Central Texas handles the rest of the usable stream. Metal frames and bunk beds go to scrap recovery. Texas has no statewide mattress-recycling mandate, so worn mattresses go to proper disposal — but properly: at the gate, on a manifest, never leaned against a corral at midnight.
The Riverside specifics we plan around
The stairwells are exterior and tight — two- and three-story garden buildings with switchback stairs, so the carry is planned, padded and two-person; it's why the no-stair-fee promise matters here more than anywhere. Turnover never stops: the corridor mixes student leases that end in July with working-family moves year-round, so crews are in the neighborhood most days and same-day is usually real. Language should never cost money: Spanish-speaking crews are available on request, the quote flow works in Spanish, and this page has a full Spanish version — precio fijo, sin sorpresas, el mismo día. And parking at the complexes is its own skill — crews know which gates need a code and which fire lanes tow, so the truck is never your problem.
Why Riverside renters use JunkRabbit
- Published flat prices — $111 to $192 for the bed, the same for everyone, visible before booking.
- No stair fee — third floor and ground floor cost the same.
- No bill-back risk — a receipted pickup instead of a corral photo on your ledger.
- Español de verdad — crews, quotes and the full page in Spanish.
- Evenings and weekends — pickups that fit work schedules.
- One quote for everything — bed today, or the whole apartment at once.

“Arturo was amazing! Excellent service. I took a photo of all my cardboard boxes from moving, got a quote, and they came to pick them up that same day. Arturo was fast and friendly! Will definitely be using this service again.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mattress removal cost in Riverside?
Flat by size, published: twin $82, full $94, queen $103, king $114, box spring $92 — or the mattress-and-box set together at $143. Family pieces price the same way: a bunk bed is $123 and a crib $67. $75 minimum; the walk-up carry-down and disposal are included with no stair fee.
Can I put a mattress in the complex dumpster?
The complexes along East Riverside ban it — the dumpster contract is for bagged household trash, and a mattress left in or beside the corral is photographed and billed back to your unit or your deposit. Because these apartments are on private hauling, Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk pickup doesn't serve them either, so there's no free city option to fall back on.
Do stairs cost extra?
No. Riverside's garden apartments are two- and three-story walk-ups with exterior stairwells, and the carry-down is the service — the flat by-size price includes it from any floor.
¿Hablan español?
Sí — hay equipos que hablan español a solicitud, y el precio es fijo desde la foto: sin sorpresas, sin cargos por escaleras, el mismo día cuando hay espacio. La página completa está disponible en español en /es/mattress-removal-riverside.
How fast can you come?
Riverside turns over year-round, so we keep crews in the corridor most days — same-day is often available, and next-day is nearly always bookable, including evenings around work schedules.
What happens to the mattress afterward?
Clean, reusable mattresses and furniture route toward donation partners like the Austin Furniture Bank; worn ones go to proper disposal. Texas has no statewide mattress-recycling mandate, so recycling happens where a facility accepts them — and nothing ever ends up leaning on a Riverside dumpster corral with your unit number on it.
