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.
Couches, mattresses, tables, chairs, desks, dressers and other large household items are collected at the curb by appointment, with eight free pickups a year of up to four items each.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Eight bulky waste pickups per contract year for a single family residential household, with a maximum of four bulky items per pickup and 32 bulky items a year. Items requested above the annual 32 item cap are billed directly by the hauler at the rates in the City service fee schedule.
When & how
Ask CR&R for the pickup at 909-370-3377. The agreement gives the hauler seven days from the request to collect, and the hauler has to tell the household the specific collection day in advance, so nothing goes to the curb until that day is confirmed.
Get it ready
A bulky item is something a two person crew can lift and carry. Anything a two person crew cannot handle goes into a temporary container arranged with the hauler instead. Keep construction material, tires, automotive parts and household hazardous waste out of the pile, and do not leave bulky items inside or on top of a cart.
Carts go to the curb no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day and come back in within 12 hours after service. Items left outside a cart are not collected, so anything larger than a cart needs a bulky pickup booked in advance rather than set out with the weekly material.
A bulky pickup is an appointment, not an open curb pile
Call CR&R at 909-370-3377 to book the pickup on the regular collection day. The agreement gives the hauler seven days from the request to collect and requires the household to be told the specific day in advance, so nothing goes to the curb until that day is confirmed.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Colton.
How much does mattress removal cost in Colton?+
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 Colton?+
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.
What counts as a bulky item in Colton?+
Anything that will not fit in the automated carts and that a two person crew can carry. The City names couches, mattresses, tables, chairs, desks, dressers and large appliances as examples. An item a two person crew cannot handle goes into a temporary container arranged with the hauler instead.Official guidance
How do I arrange a bulky pickup?+
Call CR&R at 909-370-3377 and book it for your regular collection day. The agreement requires the hauler to collect within seven days of the request and to tell you the specific day in advance, and it is arranged as an appointment rather than an open invitation to set things out.Official guidance
How many bulky pickups do I get each year?+
Eight pickups per contract year, with up to four bulky items in each and a total of 32 items for the year. If one pile has more than four items, put them all out together rather than booking a second pickup, as long as the year's total stays at 32 or below. Anything above that cap is billed directly.Official guidance
Will Colton take a treadmill or other exercise machine?+
Exercise machines are not named in the City's bulky item examples, which list furniture, desks, dressers and large appliances, and the contract defines a bulky item as one a two person crew can handle. Describe the machine when you call 909-370-3377 so the hauler can confirm it before it goes out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Colton?+
CR&R is the City's exclusive hauler for trash, green waste and recycling. New residential service is set up through the City of Colton customer service department at 909-370-5555, commercial service is set up with CR&R at 909-370-3377, and a bulky pickup is booked with CR&R at the same number.Official guidance
Where can I take old tires?+
Community dump days accept up to four noncommercial tires without rims per event, and the City lists tires as outside the bulky item pickup. A full set from a shop or any larger tire load needs a container or another arrangement rather than a curb pile.Official guidance
Where can I drop off used sharps?+
Home generated sharps are accepted free at the Hutton Center, 660 Colton Avenue, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the Luque Center, 292 East O Street, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The container has to be one gallon or smaller and puncture proof.Official guidance
Do Colton businesses have to recycle?+
Yes. California's AB 341 requires recycling for businesses and public entities that generate four cubic yards or more of waste a week and for multifamily complexes with five or more units, and AB 1826 adds organics separation requirements. The City's recycling coordinator takes questions at 909-264-2321.Official guidance
