Jessica’s old queen mattress had been sitting in her Bellevue garage for three weeks. She’d called two junk removal companies. Both quoted her $280-$320 for pickup.
For one mattress.
Both companies had the same explanation: “Our minimum is $300. We can’t send a truck for less.”
Jessica almost gave up. Then she found Tymli Errands.
We picked up her mattress in Bellevue at 10:30 AM, transported it to the disposal facility, and completed the job by 12:15 PM. Total cost: $85.
This is exactly what we mean when we say we handle the small jobs big junk companies ignore.
Why Big Junk Removal Companies Don’t Want Your Mattress
Here’s what Jessica learned: most junk removal companies in Washington don’t want single-item jobs.
Their business model requires:
- $280-$350 minimums (even for one item)
- Full truck loads to justify the trip
- Multiple-item pickups to hit profit margins
The result? If you need just one mattress removed, one couch hauled away, or one dresser disposed of, you’re stuck paying for services you don’t need.
Jessica’s quote from a “budget-friendly” junk company: $320 for a mattress pickup—because their minimum was $300 and they tacked on a $20 “disposal fee.”
She didn’t need a whole truck load hauled. She needed one mattress removed.
The Bellevue Mattress Removal Job
Here’s how Jessica’s pickup went:
9:45 AM – Jessica Books the Removal Jessica texted us a photo of her mattress (queen size, normal wear, no biohazards). She told us:
- Location: Bellevue garage
- Item: 1 queen mattress
- Availability: “anytime today”
We quoted her $85 flat and confirmed we could be there by 10:30 AM.
10:30 AM – Pickup in Bellevue We arrived at Jessica’s house in Bellevue near Factoria. The mattress was already in her garage. We wrapped it in plastic (to keep our van clean), loaded it, and secured it in 12 minutes.
11:00 AM – Transport to Disposal Facility We drove to a certified mattress recycling facility in Renton (about 20 minutes from Bellevue). Washington requires proper mattress disposal—we handle that.
11:45 AM – Mattress Disposed and Job Complete Mattress dropped off, disposal fee paid, job complete by 12:15 PM.
Jessica’s reaction: “I can’t believe how simple this was. Every other company wanted $300+.”
What Makes Mattress Removal Different
Mattress removal requires proper disposal. You can’t just dump a mattress anywhere—Washington has strict waste regulations.
Here’s what proper mattress disposal involves:
Certified Facilities We take mattresses to licensed disposal and recycling facilities. This ensures compliance with Washington waste laws.
Recycling When Possible Many mattress components can be recycled (metal springs, foam, fabric). We use facilities that prioritize recycling over landfill dumping.
No Dumping We never dump mattresses on the side of the road, in dumpsters, or in unauthorized locations. Improper disposal can result in fines—and it’s terrible for the environment.
