Mattress Removal Burwood, Strathfield & Ashfield — Flat $80
Updated
Share
Mattress removal across Burwood, Strathfield and Ashfield is a flat $80 each, any size, any condition. This is one of the more architecturally mixed pockets of Sydney — high-rise towers, large Federation homes and post-war walk-ups within a few streets of each other.
Three housing types, three different jobs
Towers — clustered around Burwood and Strathfield stations. Arrange help and any service lift booking with building management to get the mattresses safely to the kerbside before pickup. Most restrict removals to weekday business hours.
Large family homes — Strathfield in particular has some of the biggest houses in the inner ring. Usually multiple mattresses at once when a household reorganises. Arrange for them to be safely placed outside at the kerbside before pickup.
Walk-ups — post-war red-brick blocks throughout Ashfield, Croydon and Burwood. Three storeys, no lift, tight landings. Collection is kerbside only; our team does not carry items on stairs or from apartments.
High rental turnover
This corridor has a large student and international-resident population, with plenty of shared and unfurnished rentals. That produces steady end-of-lease mattress volume, concentrated around semester changeovers and the December period.
If you're moving out, book the pickup two or three days before your final inspection. Anything left behind comes out of the bond at the agent's contractor rate — reliably more than $80. Full end-of-lease guide.
Three councils, so check which one you're in
This is genuinely confusing here, and it matters if you're relying on a council collection:
- Burwood Council
- Strathfield Municipal Council
- Inner West Council (Ashfield, Croydon, Summer Hill)
- City of Canada Bay just to the north
Their boundaries interleave, and their booking systems, annual limits and accepted items all differ. Check which council your specific address falls under rather than assuming based on your suburb name.
Everywhere, the same rule: items go on the nature strip only once you've booked a specific collection date. Otherwise it's illegal dumping and it's fineable. More on council collections. To compare council collection with drop-off, donation and a booked pickup, see mattress disposal in Sydney: every option and what it costs.
What it costs
$80 flat per mattress, single to super king, any condition including stained or damaged. Kerbside collection only, no size surcharge, no call-out fee. Several at once is $80 each in one trip — book your mattress pickup online and choose a date.
Fridge going too? From $80 in the same visit — the standard end-of-lease pairing since most rentals here come unfurnished.

Frequently asked questions
Who books the service lift?
You do — arrange any lift booking and help moving the mattresses safely to the kerbside before our pickup. Our team does not carry items from inside homes or apartments.
Which council am I in?
Worth checking directly — boundaries interleave here and the rules differ.
Third-floor walk-up — extra charge?
The price is $80 per mattress for kerbside collection. Please arrange for it to be safely taken downstairs and placed outside at the kerbside before pickup.
Can you come same-day?
Often, if you book before noon. This corridor is well inside our regular runs.
