Mattress

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.

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.

Items too large to fit in a barrel, including furniture, mattresses and appliances, are collected at the curb three times a year at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three free curbside large or bulky item collections per household each year. A fourth or later collection in the year is billed from the published rate schedule, which sets a service charge for the pickup and adds a per item charge for each item collected.
When & how
Call Burrtec customer service at 909-822-9739 to book the collection, and set the items at the curb on the confirmed day. The City publishes 909-822-6531 for a bulky item pickup as well.
Get it ready
An item qualifies when it is too large to fit in the trash barrel, which is the definition both the City and the hauler use. Keep the pile out of the three barrels, keep it clear of the recycling and green waste routes, and leave paint, oil, batteries, electronics and garden chemicals out of it, because those are household hazardous material rather than large items.
Call Burrtec to arrange a large or bulky item collection and put the items at the curb on the confirmed day. A household gets three of those collections a year at no charge, and a collection beyond the three is billed from the published rate schedule with a service charge and a per item charge.
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.
Burrtec Waste Industries, under contract with the City of Fontana
Free large or bulky item collection
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a stump or another item too large for the barrel.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Three free curbside collections per household each year, for items too large to fit in a trash barrel.
Arrange it
Call Burrtec at 909-822-9739 and ask for a large or bulky item pickup, or use 909-822-6531, which the City publishes for an appliance pickup, then set the items at the curb on the confirmed day.
Three collections a year, and construction material and household hazardous waste are not part of the allowance. A fourth or later collection in the year is billed from the rate schedule.
Burrtec Waste Industries, under contract with the City of Fontana
Large item collection beyond the three free each year
A household that has already used its three free collections and still has a large item to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $44.26 for the published 2026 service charge for a large or bulky item pickup on the Fontana service rate schedule, with a separate published per item charge added for each item collected. The fourth and later large or bulky item collections by a household in a year, since the City provides the first three at no charge.
Arrange it
Book the collection with Burrtec and confirm the item count and the amount before the items go to the curb.
The pickup carries a service charge and each item carries its own charge on top, so the total depends on how many items go out. Confirm the count with the hauler when booking.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fontana.
How much does mattress removal cost in Fontana?+
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 Fontana?+
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 large or bulky item in Fontana?+
Anything too large to fit in the trash barrel. The City names stumps and appliances as examples, and Burrtec describes the same collection as covering furniture, mattresses and appliances. Each household gets three of those collections a year at no charge.Official guidance
How do I book a large item collection?+
Call Burrtec and ask for a large or bulky item pickup. The City publishes 909-822-9739 as the hauler's Fontana number and 909-822-6531 for an appliance or bulky item pickup, and the items go to the curb on the day the hauler confirms.Official guidance
How many free large item collections does a household get?+
Three per year at no charge under the City's residential program. A collection beyond the three is billed from the published rate schedule, which sets a service charge for the pickup and adds a per item charge for every item collected.Official guidance
Will Fontana take a treadmill or other exercise machine?+
Exercise equipment is not named in the City's examples or in the hauler's description of what the large item collection covers, so describe the machine when you call Burrtec and let the hauler confirm it before the machine goes to the curb.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Fontana?+
Burrtec Waste Industries, under contract with the City. The City's trash and recycling services page prints the hauler's Fontana office at 9820 Cherry Avenue and its number as 909-822-9739, and households get weekly trash, recycling and green waste collection on the day assigned to the address.Official guidance
Where do paint, motor oil, batteries and other hazardous items go?+
To the City's household hazardous waste facility at 16454 Orange Way, open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. It takes paint and thinners, motor oil and filters, batteries, antifreeze, garden chemicals, pool and hobby supplies, fluorescent bulbs, used cooking oil, mercury thermostats and pharmaceuticals, and each visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds with no container over five gallons.Official guidance
Can I pick up free household products from the City?+
Yes. The Reuse Center at the household hazardous waste facility sorts usable products that residents bring in and offers them to City of Fontana residents at no charge, including automotive fluids, fertilizers, household cleaners and polishes, pesticides, pool chemicals and water-based paints. It is limited to one visit per household per calendar month, with a California identification card showing a Fontana address.Official guidance
What help is there for a senior or disabled resident?+
The City provides complimentary pull-out or back-yard service for senior and disabled residents, so the barrels do not have to be moved to the curb, and it offers reduced rates to those residents as well. Pull-out and back-yard service is otherwise a paid option on the service rate schedule, so confirm the eligibility when the service is set up.Official guidance
