Mattress drop-off sites nearby
Households that would rather haul a mattress than use one of the bulky pickups.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
The City lists a Monrovia site on West Duarte Road open weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with a 10 unit household limit, R5 Recycling in Azusa on North Georgia Avenue open weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a 5 unit limit and a reimbursement for residents, and a Republic Services transfer station in East Los Angeles with a 2 unit limit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arcadia.
How much does mattress removal cost in Arcadia?+
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 Arcadia?+
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.
How many free bulky pickups do I get?+
A single-family residential account gets four free bulky item pickups each calendar year, and each multi-family residential unit gets two. Each one is a reservation, so call Waste Management at (626) 856-1285 or (800) 266-7551, and the City asks for at least 24 hours of notice.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item?+
Large, bulky or difficult to handle household objects such as couches, furniture, mattresses, rugs, appliances, washing machines, water heaters, refrigerators and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container. The published list is not exhaustive, so ask the hauler about anything else.Official guidance
When should bulky items go out?+
No earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup, and never in a way that blocks a sidewalk, driveway or roadway. Refrigerator doors have to be removed or secured before the crew arrives.Official guidance
Does a mattress need to be wrapped for pickup?+
Yes. A mattress is collected as a bulky item, and the City asks that it be wrapped in a sheet, blanket or plastic so the hauler's staff can pick it up. Reserve the pickup first, and set it out no earlier than the evening before.Official guidance
Can I drop a mattress off instead?+
Yes. The City lists nearby mattress drop-off sites in Monrovia, Azusa and East Los Angeles, each with its own unit limit and weekday hours, and the Bye Bye Mattress directory lists further sites and events. Confirm hours, limits and any charge with the site before loading.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Arcadia?+
The City contracts with Waste Management for residential and multi-family trash and recycling, and the collection runs on Wednesdays city-wide. The Public Works Services Department at (626) 254-2720 handles City questions, and the hauler's customer service line is (800) 266-7551.Official guidance
What do I do with paint, chemicals, batteries and medicines?+
Arcadia residents are allowed up to three free household hazardous waste collections a year through the hauler's doorstep program at (800) 449-7587 or wmatyourdoor.com, and business material is not collected. Household batteries go to drop boxes at City Hall, the Library, the Community Center or the Public Works Services Department, with the contact ends of lithium batteries taped and no automotive batteries. Medicines go to the pharmacy kiosk on South Baldwin Avenue, and pharmaceuticals and sharps are accepted anonymously at the Temple City sheriff station.Official guidance
What plastics can go in the recycling cart?+
The curbside cart takes type 1, 2 and 5 plastics, identified by the numbered recycling symbol on the packaging. Tetrapak cartons are not recyclable in the City's service because of the waxy surface coating, even though the packaging suggests otherwise.Official guidance
How does green waste go out?+
Green waste is collected on the same Wednesday schedule as trash and recycling, and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container can go out as a bulky item on one of the free reservations. The City also sells compost bins to residents.Official guidance
