Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Mattresses and box springs are named in the bulk household category and in the allowed items for the free Transfer Station drop-off, so bedding leaves on the annual curbside collection or on one of the four free drop-off trips.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the one annual curbside collection for qualifying households, or through the four annual bulky waste drop-offs for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, capped at 1,340 lbs per trip.
When & how
Book the curbside collection in advance at 479-575-8398, or take the unit to the Transfer Station on one of the four free drop-off trips during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and put it on the ground at the curb by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day, within five to six feet of the curb and clear of power lines, tree limbs and other objects. Only the items that were scheduled will be removed.
Items for the annual bulky collection go out by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day, and the city says the night before is fine but no more than twelve hours ahead. The pile sits within five to six feet of the curb and at least four feet from any other object, never under power lines or tree limbs and never blocking a street, sidewalk or ditch line, and everything goes on the ground rather than in a container. Only the items that were scheduled are removed, so anything left behind stays the household's responsibility.
The free annual collection takes a single category at a time, with up to five items in that category, and the three published categories are bulk household, bulk metal and bulk brush. A refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or water cooler sits in the metal category but still needs the separate Freon recovery appointment, and brush is limited to three standard pick-up-truck loads with limbs no longer than 12 feet and no more than twelve inches in diameter.
The free drop-offs run on a utility bill and a driver's license
A household using one of the four annual bulky waste drop-offs brings a recent Fayetteville utility bill and a valid driver's license, and each trip is capped at 1,340 lbs. The service is only for Fayetteville residents who are solid waste customers, so a non-resident water customer who does not pay for solid waste service is not eligible, and apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, businesses, non-profits and industrial sites are excluded from the free pickup as well.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Arrange it
Call the Recycling and Trash Collection office at 479-575-8398 to schedule the extra collection, and add the Freon recovery appointment if the load includes a refrigerated appliance.

Use one of the four free drop-off trips
A city solid waste customer with a vehicle who would rather move the load than wait for a collection date, including small quantities of electronic waste.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it

City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection
Weigh a larger load at the Transfer Station
A household or contractor with a load that is too heavy for the free drop-off cap or that the drop-off does not cover, such as a larger renovation load.
Cost & conditions
From $50 per load at the Transfer Station scale, where the published disposal minimum charge applies and residential landfill waste is billed per ton above the minimum load weight. Residents and non-residents at the gate; residential landfill waste carries the published residential rate while non-residential or outside-city loads carry a higher published per-ton rate.
Arrange it
Pull up to the scale house to weigh in, unload where staff direct, and weigh out again to settle the charge, inside the station hours of Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 10 a.m.
All loads have to be unloaded within the listed hours, and staff direct where each load goes, so a load that contains regulated material can be turned away at the gate.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fayetteville.
How much does mattress removal cost in Fayetteville?+
The price depends on the mattress size you choose. A queen mattress is $99 as the first item and $30 as an additional item. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Add any box spring or frame separately, then review your total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I book same-day mattress pickup in Fayetteville?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Have the mattress outside and accessible according to your confirmation. Your booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Is my box spring or bed frame included in mattress removal?+
The mattress price covers the mattress only. Add your box spring, bed frame or adjustable base separately if those are going too. Choose the size and type that match each item. The combined price appears before booking.
Will you carry my mattress downstairs or out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange to move the mattress out of your apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load it and take it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Check your building’s access rules before arranging the move outside.
Can you pick up my old mattress when my new one arrives?+
You can choose an offered pickup day around your replacement delivery. First check whether the retailer already includes old-mattress removal, and arrange who will bring it outside if needed. Dropcurb books a pickup day, not the retailer’s delivery window. Contact us before booking if access is limited to a short time.
Will Fayetteville collect a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. A mattress and a box spring are both listed in the bulk household category and in the allowed items for the free drop-off, so either one can leave on the single free curbside collection a household books each year, or on one of the four annual drop-off trips at the Transfer Station. Book the pickup first at 479-575-8398.Official guidance
Who runs bulky waste collection in Fayetteville?+
The City of Fayetteville Recycling and Trash Collection division runs both routes: four free drop-offs a year at the Trash Transfer Station on S. Happy Hollow Road, and one free curbside collection a year for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts. The division answers at 479-575-8398 and is at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road.Official guidance
How many free bulky waste pickups do I get each year?+
One, and only for single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with city trash carts. The collection has to be booked in advance at 479-575-8398, it takes one category of items with up to five items in that category, and further collections can be scheduled for a fee. A household can also give up the free pickup in exchange for a fifth free drop-off trip.Official guidance
How many free drop-off trips do Fayetteville residents get?+
Four a year, or five if the household gives up its free curbside collection. Each trip is limited to 1,340 lbs and needs a recent Fayetteville utility bill and a valid driver's license, and the service is only for residents who pay for solid waste service, so a water customer who does not pay for solid waste is not eligible.Official guidance
Can an apartment or condo use the free bulky waste service?+
No. The free pickup is limited to single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses with trash carts, and the city excludes apartments, condos, mobile homes, complexes of three or more units, businesses, non-profits and industrial sites from the service. A household in one of those buildings has to arrange disposal privately or check whether the property manager offers a route.Official guidance
