Henderson, Nevada (Las Vegas metro, #55 nationally) is served by Republic Services of Southern Nevada under franchise agreement, the same provider serving Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. Republic serves over 320,000 Henderson residents across Green Valley, Anthem, Lake Las Vegas, Cadence, Inspirada, MacDonald Ranch, and historic Henderson. Bulk waste is collected bi-weekly (every other week) on the same day as your regular trash and recycling, with strict prep rules: furniture with fabric must be wrapped in plastic, mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in plastic for sanitation, and only one major appliance per service day. Refrigerators and freezers require professional refrigerant removal with certification tag. Solid waste collection is mandatory under Henderson Municipal Code 5.17.220. The Henderson Transfer Station at 560 Cape Horn Drive is open 7 days/week 7 AM-3 PM. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Henderson residents.

Why mattresses are different from ordinary bulk. Mattresses contain springs, foam, fabric, and wood, all recyclable individually but bonded together in a way that makes them hard to process. They’re also a notorious vector for bedbugs, which has led several cities to require plastic-wrapping before curbside pickup (NYC and Cleveland have explicit rules).
Three mistakes that get mattresses left at the curb:
When free options don’t fit your timeline or volume:
LoadUp paid mattress pickup
$80+For Henderson households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (unwrapped fabric furniture, non-tagged refrigerators, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Las Vegas metro for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your mattress. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Does Henderson pick up mattresses for free?
Yes, on your bulk day.
Where can I donate a mattress in Henderson?
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 rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
How much does paid mattress removal cost in Henderson?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single mattress pickup in Henderson starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Henderson households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (unwrapped fabric furniture, non-tagged refrigerators, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Las Vegas metro for upfront-priced pickup.
Can I just put a mattress in my regular trash?
No. Mattresses are too big for residential trash bins and are explicitly banned from regular trash collection in most U.S. cities. Connecticut, Rhode Island, California, and Oregon ban mattresses from landfills entirely under state law. Use one of the free or paid options above instead.
How much do paid mattress pickups cost?
Single mattress pickups typically range $80 to $200 depending on the service and your city. National services (LoadUp, 1-800-Got-Junk, College Hunks) cluster in the $80 to $130 range for one mattress. Local independent haulers can be cheaper ($50 to $100). Booking 2 mattresses together is often only marginally more expensive than booking 1, ask about bundled pricing.
What about box springs, are they treated the same?
Yes, box springs follow the same rules as mattresses in nearly every city, same pickup eligibility, same disposal channels, same bedbug-wrap requirements. State recycling programs (CT, RI, CA, OR) accept both. Most retailers haul both away together with new mattress delivery. King and queen splits typically count as 2 separate items, while single-piece box springs count as 1.
My mattress has bedbugs, what should I do?
Plastic-wrap the mattress fully before moving it (heavy-duty mattress disposal bags are sold at hardware stores for $5 to $15). Many cities require plastic-wrapping for ANY mattress disposal to prevent spreading bedbugs to other households along the route. Donation programs CANNOT accept mattresses with bedbug history. Use city bulk pickup (with proper plastic-wrapping) or paid hauler. Tell the hauler in advance, some services charge extra or refuse, while others handle bedbug mattresses routinely.
