One mattress. One couch. One awkward bed frame that won't fit down the stairs. We do single-item pickups across Guelph every week — fast, affordable, and with donation and recycling built in. Most single items run $80–$150, all-in.
Get a Free Quote Call 226-770-8678Ask any Guelph hauler what the phone rings about most, and the honest answer isn't hoarder houses or construction bins — it's a single mattress, a sagging couch, or a bed frame from a room that's being repurposed. That's the bulk of our week, and we've built our service around doing it well: quick scheduling, careful carrying, and one clear price quoted before we touch anything.
Queen, king, bunk, or the mystery futon in the basement — bagged if soiled, recycled whenever possible, gone the same week.
Sofas, loveseats, recliners, and sectionals. We handle tight stairwells and doorways — including doors that need to come off hinges.
Bed frames, dressers, wardrobes, tables, and desks. We disassemble on-site when that's the only way it's leaving the room.
The City of Guelph does offer bulky-item collection, and for people with time and a strong back it can be a fine option. But it comes with real limits. Pickups must be booked ahead, there's a per-item fee, available dates fill quickly — especially around month-end and moving season — and you can wait a week or more for your slot. Crucially, the City collects from the curb only: you're responsible for wrestling the mattress down the stairs, out the door, and onto the boulevard by early morning on collection day.
There's also the Waste Resource Innovation Centre (WRIC) on Dunlop Drive, where residents can drop off mattresses for recycling for a modest fee. Again, a good program — if you own a truck or a van, don't mind the loading and the queue, and your mattress isn't a king that won't bend around your basement landing.
What we sell is the part the City can't: we come inside. Two people show up, carry the item from wherever it sits — third-floor walk-up bedroom, basement rec room, backyard shed — load it, sweep the spot, and leave. For a typical single item in Guelph you'll pay $80–$150 all-in, which usually works out to only slightly more than the City route once you factor in the collection fee, your time, and the borrowed truck. And instead of waiting for a collection date, we're often there same-day or next-day.
A huge share of our furniture calls come from Guelph's apartment and condo buildings — downtown along Macdonell and Woolwich, the towers near Stone Road Mall, and the newer builds in the south end. Curbside collection is often simply not an option for these buildings, and property managers don't love mattresses propped beside the garbage room. We book freight elevators when the building requires it, pad corners in tight corridors, and handle the stairs when there's no elevator at all. Tell us the floor number and whether there's elevator access when you request your quote — that's all we need to give you an exact price.
Guelph is a university city, and twice a year — late April through May, and again around Labour Day — the student neighbourhoods near the University of Guelph turn over all at once. Landlords inherit abandoned mattresses, futons, and desk chairs; students discover their lease ends Friday and the couch has no ride. We run extra capacity in those windows and offer multi-item pricing for landlords clearing several units on the same street. If you manage student rentals in the Old University, Dovercliffe, or Kortright neighbourhoods, book ahead of turnover week — those days fill fast.
Whatever we haul, disposal is done right: clean, usable furniture goes to donation outlets like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, mattresses go into recycling rather than landfill, and metal frames are recycled as scrap. You get a cleared room and a clear conscience.

Donation and mattress recycling before the landfill
A single mattress pickup in Guelph typically runs $80–$120 including labour, hauling, and responsible disposal. A mattress and box spring together, or a large sectional couch, usually lands between $100–$150. We confirm the exact price before we load anything — no surprises.
The City of Guelph offers large-item collection, but it must be booked in advance, spots fill up, and you may wait a week or more for your pickup date. You also need to get the item to the curb yourself. We come inside, carry it out, and can often do it same-day or next-day.
Yes — apartment and condo removals are a big part of what we do in Guelph. We handle stairs, book elevators when the building requires it, protect hallways, and work within move-out windows. Tell us the floor and building type when you request a quote so we can price it accurately.
Usable furniture is donated to Guelph-area outlets like Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Mattresses go to recycling — over 90% of a mattress is recyclable, and Guelph's Waste Resource Innovation Centre accepts them through its mattress recycling program. Landfill is always our last resort.
Often, yes. Single-item pickups are quick jobs, so we can usually slot them in between larger cleanouts. Call 226-770-8678 in the morning and there's a good chance your mattress or couch is gone by the end of the day.
Tell us what needs to go and where it is (floor, stairs, elevator) and we'll send an exact price.
