Mattress Disposal in Suffolk, VA
Mattress disposal in Suffolk routes through the SPSA Regional Landfill at 1 Bob Foeller Drive (zip 23434), which is the primary regional landfill for Hampton Roads and sits inside Suffolk's own city limits. Suffolk haulers have the shortest disposal trip of any HR city. That's the actual bid-economics edge.
What makes mattress disposal different in Suffolk
Suffolk's intra-city geography is the bid driver, not the disposal leg. North Suffolk (Bennett's Creek + Harbour View) is dense newer suburb with modern bedroom sets and queen+king mattresses turning over every 7-10 years. Downtown Suffolk + Driver Historic District have older homes (some pre-1920) where staircases narrow significantly above the first landing. Older full or queen mattresses sometimes need to come out the way they went in. Whaleyville and Holland farmhouses sit on multi-acre lots, sometimes 25 minutes from central Suffolk; bids price the longer in-city drive, not the SPSA trip.
Typical bid range: $80 to $160 for a mattress + box spring.
Where Suffolk mattress disposal ends up
Most Suffolk hauls route to SPSA Regional Landfill (1 Bob Foeller Dr), the primary HR landfill. PoofHaul haulers fold the disposal fee into the bid, so the number you see is the all-in cost.

Mattress Disposal FAQ: Suffolk
- How much does mattress disposal cost in Suffolk?
- A queen or king mattress + box spring typically runs $80 to $160. Twin or full sets sit at the lower end. Suffolk's on-site SPSA Regional Landfill keeps disposal cost flat across the city, but bids from rural Whaleyville or Holland may run slightly higher to cover the in-city drive.
- Does Suffolk pick up mattresses curbside?
- No. Suffolk's curbside collection does not handle mattresses. Residents either drop off using one of their 12 free SPSA visits per year or hire a hauler. Twelve free visits is more than most Suffolk households need; haulers help when access (stairs, narrow doorways, no truck) is the constraint.
- Are mattresses recycled or landfilled at SPSA?
- Landfilled. SPSA Regional Landfill does not currently run a mattress-recycling program; the unit goes into the active landfill cell. If recycling is a priority, ask the hauler to route to a Tidewater-area mattress recycler instead. Adds $30 to $60 to the bid for the longer trip.
- Can a Suffolk hauler take a mattress with bedbugs?
- With the right wrap. Bag the mattress in a sealed plastic mattress bag (Lowe's or Home Depot, $10) before pickup. Mention it in the job description. Some haulers decline bedbug jobs; others handle them with a surcharge for the wrap + dedicated truck disinfection.
- How much notice does a Suffolk mattress haul need?
- Same-day or next-day is realistic for North Suffolk and Downtown. Whaleyville, Holland, or Chuckatuck pickups sometimes take 2-3 days because the bid pool is smaller for the rural boroughs. Haulers planning a route through that part of the city batch jobs.
