Never block a sidewalk, traffic lane or gutter.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arden-Arcade.
How much does mattress removal cost in Arden-Arcade?+
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 Arden-Arcade?+
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.
Does a mattress need to be wrapped for Arden-Arcade collection?+
The county does not publish a bagging requirement for mattresses. It lists mattresses and box springs as acceptable bulky items and as free non-business drop-off items, so keep the mattress dry, follow the appointment instructions and ask customer service if any wrapping is required for your address.Official guidance
Does Sacramento County charge for an Arden-Arcade bulky pickup?+
One bulky appointment for up to five cubic yards is included with residential cart service every 12 months, with the period running from the day the appointment is used. Extra appointments and anything above five cubic yards are charged at current rates up to the 15 cubic yard maximum, and the county separately charges facility fees for loads a household drives to Kiefer Landfill or the North Area Recovery Station.Official guidance
What can I drop off myself instead of waiting for an appointment?+
Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station take household waste from the public without a residency requirement, with free residential drop-off for small corded items, small power tools, up to two large appliances a day, electronics, four passenger tires a day, mattresses and clean metals. Green waste and clean wood go to their own area, clean inerts are free only at Kiefer Landfill, and every load has to be covered or secured before it reaches the scale house.Official guidance
