$119 per mattress or base (minimum job $120) — GST and all tip fees included. Picked up from inside your home, recycled or reused, recovery report on every job.
A mattress is the one item nobody wants to carry down the stairs or strap to the roof. Junkbird picks up single, double, queen and king mattresses and bases from your bedroom, carries them out, and routes them to a mattress recycler where the steel springs go to metal recovery and the foam to recycling — not to landfill.
A mattress or bed base is $119 each picked up from inside the house, GST and all tip fees included (our minimum job is $120, so a single mattress books at $120). A bed frame is another $119. If a mattress is part of a bigger clear-out, it goes in by load size instead — a ⅛ load is $279 and covers a mattress, base and a few boxes — plus a $35 mattress recycling pass-through. The online quote books whichever is cheaper.
Council bulky-waste collections are booked weeks ahead, have item limits, and most send mattresses to landfill. City of Gold Coast's FLEXiSKiP does not accept double mattresses at all, and Brisbane City Council's kerbside collections run on a fixed suburb schedule. We work to your date — same-day is often possible before 11am.
Mattresses are among the worst items in landfill: they do not compact and the springs wreck machinery. Our mattress stream goes to a specialist recycler where springs become scrap steel, foam goes to carpet underlay and padding, and the timber from bases is chipped. Your recovery report shows the destination.
Pick a load size — from ⅛ of our 4.5-tonne truck up to a full 10 m³ — or tick your items. The price shows instantly in the online quote, and it is one national list for the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney. If your items add up to more than a load, we automatically charge the cheaper load price.
No. Our crew collects from the bedroom, carries it down the stairs or into the lift, and loads it. Kerbside is fine too if that is easier.
Yes. Stained, torn or water-damaged mattresses are accepted; bed-bug-affected mattresses should be bagged and declared when booking so the crew can handle them separately.
Yes — frames, ensembles, slat bases and bunk beds. Each piece is priced as an item, or the lot goes in as a load if that is cheaper.
Yes. Holiday lets, student housing and strata managers often book four to ten at a time; above three it is usually cheaper as a load — the quote works it out.
