Here is how each route works in Orlando, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Orlando weekly large item collection: bed frames and box springs
FreeBed frames go out on yard waste day.
Who qualifies: Single-family homes with City of Orlando solid waste service (billed through OUC). Unincorporated Orange County has its own program through Solid Waste at 407-836-6601.
How to schedule: No appointment for hand-loadable items. Put large items at the curb on your yard waste day; the city collects weekly. Oversized loads can be scheduled through Solid Waste at 407-246-2314 for an additional fee.
Limits: No published item cap for ordinary household large items; crews collect what two people can hand-load. Tires are limited to 4 car tires per household per year.
Set-out: At the curb the evening before or by 7 a.m. on your yard waste day. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed before set-out.
Donation pickup in Orlando (usable bed frames and box springs)
FreeOrlando’s donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program-specific rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call before scheduling if you’re unsure, pickups that find unacceptable items will leave them behind.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Orlando: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering bed frames and box springs, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.
If you run a nonprofit or housing program in Orlando: you can start the conversation now through the For partners page.
Orlando residents have one of the most generous bulk pickup schedules in the country: large items get collected weekly on the same day as garbage. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs, and up to 4 passenger car tires are all accepted. This page walks through every disposal option in order from free to paid.

Why bed frames and box springs are different from ordinary bulk. The frame problem is mostly logistical: beds come apart into pieces, and bulk programs differ on whether a disassembled bed is one item or five. Some count the bundle as one if it is tied together; some count each piece. Metal frames can be folded flat and tied.
Three mistakes that get bed frames and box springs left at the curb:
Paid options cover box springs in states where free drop-offs are inconvenient and large platform or storage beds that need breaking down.
Self-haul to a transfer station or mattress recycler
Free to $25 per pieceBox springs are accepted at transfer stations for a per-piece fee in most areas and free at state program drop-offs in CA, CT, and RI. Disassembled frames fit in a car.
Tie box springs to a roof rack only if you must; they catch wind.

How much does paid bed frame removal cost in Orlando?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single bed frame or box spring pickup in Orlando starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For households who need same-week service or live in apartments/condos not covered by city service, LoadUp offers professional removal in Orlando with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.
Can I put a bed frame out for bulk pickup?
Yes in nearly every city. Disassemble it and tie the pieces together so the bundle counts as one item. Metal frames can also be folded and taken to a scrap yard free.
Is a box spring treated like a mattress?
In most cities, yes. Box springs follow the same bulk pickup rules as mattresses, including plastic wrapping where required and separate appointments in some cities. In Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, box springs are covered by state mattress laws.
Which states have mattress and box spring laws?
California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island run Bye Bye Mattress recycling programs funded by a fee on new purchases, with free drop-off sites. Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal in November 2022 and requires recycling. Oregon has enacted a program as well.
Can I donate a box spring?
Rarely on its own. Most programs only accept a box spring paired with a clean, like-new mattress. Metal frames in good condition and complete wood frames are much easier to donate.
Is this Orlando page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Orlando guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
