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.

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.

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.

Mattresses are named twice on the district's large item program: once in the furniture example and once in the district's own note that residents should check the What do I do with page for specific items such as mattresses. The unit leaves on a scheduled large item pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. CMSD solid waste customers, inside the three complimentary pickups a year and the ten item limit, with the mattress inside the 8 by 4 foot and 150 pound caps.
When & how
Name the mattress when scheduling with CR&R at (949) 646-4617, because only the items listed at scheduling are collected.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and inside the size limit, and keep any hazardous material or building material out of the same pile so the rest of the load is not refused.
A large item pickup is made by a separate truck from the weekly trash collection, and CR&R collects only the items the resident listed when the appointment was booked. The resident calls (949) 646-4617 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or files an online request, names each item, and receives a date that may be a week or more out.
The size caps and the refused list decide what can go out
No item may exceed 8 by 4 feet or 150 pounds, which the district describes as the limit of what two people can lift, and asphalt, building materials, car bodies, chemicals and hazardous waste, concrete, sand or sandbags, soil and tires are all refused. Glass is accepted only when tape is applied in a star shape so it does not break, and yard debris has to be contained and limited to one cubic yard.
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.
A CMSD solid waste household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, scrap metal or up to ten large items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. CMSD solid waste customers, three complimentary pickups a year with ten items at each pickup, with every item inside the 8 by 4 foot and 150 pound limits. Dumpster-service households are not eligible.
Arrange it
Call CR&R at (949) 646-4617 Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or submit an online request, and list every item at that point.
The program refuses building materials, concrete, asphalt, soil, sand, tires, chemicals and anything over the size or weight cap, and it will not collect an item that was not listed when the pickup was booked.
The district's household programs are collection based rather than drop-off based. A CMSD solid waste customer books a large item pickup for a couch, a mattress, an appliance, scrap metal, glass, clothing or a small amount of contained yard debris, with three complimentary pickups a year and ten items at each one, none larger than 8 by 4 feet or heavier than 150 pounds, scheduled through CR&R at (949) 646-4617. Household hazardous waste, which for this program includes televisions, computers, printers, cell phones, stereos, scanners and other small appliances along with paints, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and sharps, is collected free at the front of the house up to three times a year with a maximum of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per pickup. Construction material, concrete, asphalt, soil, sand and tires have no district route at all: the large item program refuses them outright and the district tells a household in that position to call a contracted hauler. An address that is not a district solid waste customer, including a property served by dumpsters, cannot use either pickup program and is pointed to the four Orange County household hazardous waste collection facilities.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Costa Mesa.
How much does mattress removal cost in Costa Mesa?+
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 Costa Mesa?+
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 do I get rid of a mattress in Costa Mesa?+
A mattress is on the district's accepted large item list, both in the furniture example and in the district's own pointer to its What do I do with page for items such as mattresses. Book it with CR&R at (949) 646-4617 as one of the ten items on a scheduled pickup, with up to three pickups a year.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Costa Mesa?+
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District administers residential and multi-family collection for the city and CR&R is the hauler, which the city's own residential waste page confirms. The district handles both large item pickups and household hazardous waste, and CR&R customer service at (949) 646-4617 books them.Official guidance
How do I book a large item pickup in Costa Mesa?+
Call CR&R at (949) 646-4617 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or submit an online request, and list every item at that point, because only scheduled items are collected.
