How To Take Apart A Mattress?
This doesn't even require a car
Items you will need. If you already have these items, perfect but I have provided links to all these items.
First start by by cutting around the perimeter of the mattress. Being sure to cut all the way to the metal spring frame.
Then you can remove the the fabric around the mattress and remove the padding
Put the padding in the contractor bags and throw this in your local dumpster
The metal frame can be put to the curb and your neighborhood scrappers will take care of it.
if you live in an apartment where you have a centralized dumpster to put things in, you can put it next to the dumpster and your neighborhood scrappers will also take care of this. Though this isn't advised in most apartment complexes to place things next to the dumpster.
Throw The Mattress In The Dumpster Whole?
This can be a option if your dumpster isn't full and your mattress is small.
The only problem being, mattresses do take up a lot of space which could be used for the intended purpose of the dumpster i.e. trash.
Strapping A Mattress To Your Car or Truck?
Items you will need
Tie Down Straps would not recommend rope
A vehicle to transport the mattress, this can be a car or a truck
Car Instructions
Have a friend or family member assist you in raising the mattress on top of the car, be sure to center the mattress on the top of the vehicle.
Take the first strap and run it through the rear window and give it a good pull through the buckling mechanism and press down the buckle making sure the the strap is tight.
Then repeat this step with the front window, try to leave about nine inches between the edge of the mattress and the strap. You want it close but not too close. Wind can make these mattresses potentially fly up and hit a driver behind you.
After this you can bring this mattress to your local landfill or transfer station, depending on where you go, you may be charged extra for mattresses.
Truck instructions
This one is a little bit simpler, if you just have a mattress and a long bed, you may not even need to strap down the mattress.
If you have both the box spring and the mattress or you just have a short bed, you'll need to use the straps to secure the load.
Take the straps and secure the mattresses on each end
after this, proceed to take the mattress to the nearest landfill, as mentioned above, there may be an additional fee for mattresses depending on your area.
Hiring a mattress removal company?

In order to remove a mattress, you need a mode of transporting the mattress to a landfill which are listed below. It is not recommended to use anything other than a pickup truck or a trailer due to risk of contamination. Once you have the vehicle ready, you want to make sure it's as close to the pickup location as possible to reduce the travel distance. Next, you need to make a clear path from the location of the contaminated mattress to the door to prevent further contamination. Preparing your PPE: Start by putting on your coveralls, nitrile gloves, and face mask. Use the duct tape to duct tape around your wrist, sealing your gloves and the coveralls together. Now you're all set to transport the mattress to the vehicle of choice. Once loaded: It's important to make sure that you throw away your coveralls and gloves before you get into your vehicle. Make sure you check yourself for bed bugs even after you have thrown away the coveralls.
