Two mattresses. Sealed in plastic. Ground floor. Gone by 15:00.
Tuesday 23 June 2026. The call came in via chat the day before. Yolanda needed two 90×200 cm mattresses collected from Kronborggade 18 in Copenhagen N — sealed in plastic due to suspected bed bug exposure. Collection time: 13:30. Ground floor. No complications with access.
We confirmed the slot, confirmed the price, and we were there at 13:30.
By 15:00 both mattresses were out of the apartment, loaded, and on their way to ARC for specialist disposal. The kind of job that needs to be handled correctly — not thrown in a skip, not left on the pavement, not ignored until it becomes someone else’s problem. Dealt with. Done.
Why mattress disposal is not as simple as it sounds
A 90×200 cm mattress weighs between 15 and 35 kilos depending on construction. It is awkward to carry, impossible to fold and will not fit in a standard car. Most people trying to dispose of a mattress independently face the same problem: the mattress is larger than any vehicle they have access to, and the nearest genbrugsstation is not designed for mattresses brought by bicycle.
When bed bugs are suspected — or confirmed — the situation requires an additional layer of care. The correct protocol is to seal the mattress completely in plastic before it moves anywhere. This contains the infestation and prevents spreading during transport. Yolanda had already done this correctly before we arrived. Our job was to carry the sealed mattress out, handle it without breaking the seal, load it correctly, and deliver it to ARC through the appropriate specialist waste stream for contaminated bedding.
This is exactly what we did. It is not glamorous. It is exactly the kind of job that matters enormously to the person who needs it done.
Kronborggade and Copenhagen N — the neighbourhood context
Kronborggade sits in the 2200 postcode — the heart of Nørrebro. This is one of Copenhagen’s most densely populated and most genuinely multicultural neighbourhoods. The apartments here are the classic Copenhagen etageejendom style: solid, often pre-war buildings with high ceilings and shared staircases. Many are rented, many turn over regularly, and the logistics of dealing with large items — a mattress, a wardrobe, a sofa that does not fit in any available vehicle — come up constantly.
We work in this area every week. We know the street. We know the building types. We know that a 2200 postcode address in summer means a high probability of a moving or clearance job nearby. We are ready for all of them.
When should you call us for mattress disposal in Copenhagen?
The answer is simpler than most people think: when you have a mattress you cannot move yourself and you do not have a van. That is the threshold. You do not need a special reason. You do not need a bulk order. A single mattress is a job we take.
Some situations where we get this call:
- Moving out of a rental and the landlord requires the mattress to be removed before handover
- Upgrading to a new mattress and the old one needs to leave before the new one arrives
- Suspected or confirmed bed bugs — the mattress needs to go immediately and correctly
- Estate clearance — clearing a property and the mattress is one of several large items
- Student accommodation end-of-year — the mattress was never theirs and nobody knows whose it is
In every case, the process is the same. You contact us. We give you a fixed price. We confirm a time. We arrive at the time. We carry the mattress out. We dispose of it through ARC. We confirm when it is done.
Bed bugs and mattress disposal — what you need to know
If your mattress may have been exposed to bed bugs, the most important thing to do before we arrive is seal it completely in thick plastic — the kind available at any supermarket from Netto to Bilka. Tape the seams. Do not move the mattress through the apartment without it being sealed. This protects you, your neighbours and our team.
Once the mattress is sealed, do not break the seal. We will carry it out as-is. ARC has specific waste streams for contaminated bedding — this is not general recycling, it is specialist disposal. The ARC eco-certified disposal fee of DKK 340 is included in every removal job as a visible line item. It is never hidden and never negotiable — it is a real cost of correct disposal and you should see it clearly on the invoice.
