Three parts. Choose only the ones going.
Mattress
Choose twin, full, queen or king / California king. The mattress choice covers the mattress itself. A topper is a different item.
Box spring or foundation
Add the non-powered support beneath the mattress separately. Choose its size. If you have a split foundation, send a photo so we can help you count it.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.
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.
If a new mattress is arriving, check whether your retailer is taking the old one. If you need Dropcurb, choose a day when you can have it outside. A delivery window and a pickup day are different arrangements.
2
Arrange the trip outside.
Plan for doorways, elevators and interior stairs before pickup day. You arrange any indoor carrying. Use a permitted outdoor location and keep entrances and the walking path open.
3
Make the right mattress easy to find.
Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Add a location photo and clear access notes so your hauler can identify exactly what is going.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Mattresses and box springs are named inside the bulky item furniture list, so bedding rides the same free curbside sweep.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free with the franchise hauler on a trash collection day, with six or fewer items needing no scheduling and larger piles booked with the hauler.
When & how
Put the mattress out no earlier than noon the day before collection and by 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and set it clear of the sidewalk and driveway, and keep it out of the recycling and organics containers, which take only their own material.
Bulky items go out on your normal trash collection day, no earlier than noon on the day before collection and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day, and they must not block the street, sidewalk or driveway or Code Enforcement may ask you to take them back in. Six or fewer items need no appointment, a larger pile is booked with Republic Services, and a gated complex keeps the pile at the curb or in the alley because the driver cannot go beyond the gate.
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.
Furniture, mattresses, box springs, rugs and bundled branches, wood or carpet from a residential, multi-family or commercial address.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free with Republic Services on a trash collection day. Six or fewer items need no scheduling, and a high-volume load may require roll-off service at a charge.
Arrange it
Set the items out on your collection day, no earlier than noon the day before and by 6 a.m. that morning. Schedule anything over six items, and any commercial load, at 800-299-4898 or alhambra@republicservices.com.
Construction and demolition debris, tires, car bodies, paint, chemicals, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights and anything needing more than two people to move are refused, and illegal dumping of those items can bring an administrative fine. Bundles must stay within four feet long, two feet across and 50 pounds each.
Alhambra's curbside routes cover most things: furniture, mattresses and bundled material go out on the bulky sweep, and electronics and appliances ride the scheduled pickup. Self-haul matters for the material the city refuses. Paint, solvents, automotive products, batteries and sharps go to a Los Angeles County household hazardous waste event, which is free with a 15 gallon or 125 pound limit per vehicle, or to the LA/Glendale S.A.F.E. Collection Center on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., while construction and demolition material goes to a certified construction recycler or into a rented bin ordered through the hauler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alhambra.
How much does mattress removal cost in Alhambra?+
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 Alhambra?+
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 the city take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. Mattresses and box springs appear with chairs, sofas, rugs, cabinets, futons, beds and tables on the bulky item accepted list, and they go out on your regular trash collection day with no appointment as long as the pile is six items or fewer.Official guidance
Is bulky item pickup free in Alhambra?+
Yes for a normal household pile. Six or fewer bulky items go out on your trash collection day at no cost and with no call needed, a pile larger than six items is scheduled with Republic Services, and a high-volume load may need roll-off service, which is charged. The scheduled e-waste and appliance pickup is also free but must be booked first.Official guidance
Where do paint, oil and batteries go in Alhambra?+
They cannot go in the garbage, the bulky pile or a storm drain. Take them to a Los Angeles County household hazardous waste collection event, generally on a Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and free to attend with a 15 gallon or 125 pound limit per vehicle, or to a S.A.F.E. collection center such as the LA/Glendale center on Colorado Blvd. The annual county event in Alhambra is usually in August.Official guidance
When is my trash collected and what delays it?+
Republic Services collects on the schedule shown on the city street map, and a holiday creates a one-day delay for the rest of that week. The observed holidays are New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and a holiday falling on a Saturday causes no delay.Official guidance
