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.

Two appointment based cleanups a year take a pile up to four by four by eight feet plus up to three bulky goods such as furniture or appliances.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two cleanups a calendar year at no additional charge for houses of one to eight units, condominiums, townhouses and mobile homes, including the bulky goods truck. Apartments of nine or more units are excluded but a manager may arrange a complex wide special collection for a fee, and extra pickups are available for a fee.
When & how
Book the appointment with Recology at 650-967-3034 before anything is set out, and have everything at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Appointments are not transferable and expire in mid-December, and no appointments run between December 26 and the third Friday in January, when a voucher is the alternative.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside four feet high by four feet wide by eight feet long, with bags, boxes and bundles under 50 pounds each and carpet tied into bundles no longer than four feet and six inches in diameter. Group items by stream, because trash, recycling, compost and bulky goods are collected by different trucks, and set appliances and furniture aside for the bulky goods truck.
A mattress counts as a bulky good on a cleanup appointment, and the hauler also takes mattresses and box springs free at the Mountain View Recycling Center by appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Mattresses go out as one of the three bulky goods on a free cleanup appointment, and mattresses and box springs are accepted free at the Mountain View Recycling Center for Mountain View residents by appointment.
When & how
Either book a cleanup appointment with Recology at 650-967-3034 and put the mattress out by 7 a.m. on the collection day, or call to arrange a Recycling Center drop-off appointment.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress with the bulky goods rather than inside the pile or a cart, and keep it clear of the sidewalk and the roadway.
An On Call Plus cleanup is an appointment booked with Recology at 650-967-3034, and the City asks that the appointment be made before any items are set out. The pile may be no larger than four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long plus up to three bulky goods, with bags, boxes and bundles under 50 pounds, and everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
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.

Additional cleanup pickup or full service cleanup
Households that have used the two free cleanups or that want the hauler to do the lifting.
Cost & conditions
The City rate page lists bulky service as varying and the hauler only states that additional pickups are available for a fee, so no amount is published. The City also lists a RecycleMyJunk service that is quoted per job. Call Recology at 650-967-3034 for the current price.
Arrange it
Call the hauler to book the extra pickup or to request a RecycleMyJunk estimate, and confirm the amount before the work is scheduled.
The same item limits and exclusions apply to a paid pickup as to a free cleanup, and an item over 200 pounds or longer than five feet can still be refused or charged extra.
City of Mountain View Public Works Department and Recology Mountain View
Free SMaRT Station dump voucher
Households that would rather haul it themselves, including during the winter pause on cleanup appointments.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One free vehicle entrance at the SMaRT Station per voucher, covering the same items as a cleanup appointment including bulky goods and electronic waste. An uncovered load carries a published fee.
Arrange it
Ask Recology for the voucher at least a week ahead or collect it at the Mountain View Recycling Center at 935 Terra Bella Avenue, then show proof of residency at the scale house, weigh in and weigh out, and cover the load.
Vouchers are not transferable, expire December 31 with a one week grace period in January, and the load still has to be material the SMaRT Station accepts.
Mattresses, box springs, household appliances, untreated lumber, electronics and good condition furniture, all at no charge for Mountain View residents.
An appointment is required and the drop-off is limited to Mountain View residents. Untreated lumber only, and the material must be one of the listed categories, so confirm anything unusual with the hauler at 650-967-3034.
Not published on the City or hauler pages. Call Recology at 650-967-3034 to confirm the drop-off hours and the appointment.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mountain View.
How much does mattress removal cost in Mountain View?+
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 Mountain View?+
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 cleanups does Mountain View allow?+
Two cleanups a calendar year at no additional charge for houses of one to eight units, condominiums, townhouses and mobile homes. Each one takes bagged or boxed material in an area no larger than four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long plus up to three bulky goods.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky good?+
Items such as couches, chairs, mattresses, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, computers and televisions. The City's chart lists them as no fee items, including up to four passenger tires, a lawnmower and a barbecue.Official guidance
What will not be collected on a cleanup appointment?+
Concrete, soil, rock and tree stumps, household hazardous waste such as paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents and fertilizers, creosote timbers, vehicle parts or batteries, fluorescent tubes, and construction material too large, heavy or dangerous for the pickup. The hauler also lists hazardous material, construction and demolition, liquids, rock and material longer than five feet as not accepted.Official guidance
Can usable items be donated in the pickup?+
Yes. Good condition clothing, shoes, accessories, luggage, kitchen equipment, small appliances, electronics 21 inches or smaller, sporting equipment, tools and musical instruments may be set out together and labeled for donation so they are routed to reuse rather than disposal.Official guidance
How do mattresses leave a Mountain View home?+
A mattress is a bulky good, so it can go out with a cleanup appointment within the three item limit. Mattresses and box springs are also accepted free at the Mountain View Recycling Center on Terra Bella Avenue for Mountain View residents, by appointment.Official guidance
Can a mattress with life left in it be donated?+
The hauler lists good condition furniture among the items accepted free for donation at the Mountain View Recycling Center, by appointment and for Mountain View residents. Ask about the item when booking so it is routed to reuse.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Mountain View?+
Recology Mountain View is the exclusive franchised hauler and can be reached at 650-967-3034. The City's Utility Billing Service at 650-903-6317 handles ordering or changing residential service.Official guidance
Where does household hazardous waste go?+
Hazardous waste drop-off is by appointment only through the Santa Clara County household hazardous waste program at 408.299.7300, and the hauler states it is illegal to put hazardous waste in the trash or down a drain or gutter. Batteries can go in a sealed bag on top of the split cart with the terminals taped or to the Recycling Center or the SMaRT Station, medications go to the confidential drop box in the Mountain View Police and Fire Administration lobby at 1000 Villa Street, paint goes to PaintCare locations or the SMaRT Station, and sharps go to providers, pharmacies or a MED-Project location.Official guidance
How does the split recycling cart work?+
The recycling cart is split into one side for mixed paper and cardboard and the other for bottles and cans, and it is collected with a fully automated truck that keeps the two streams apart until they reach the SMaRT Station. Recycling is collected every other week while trash and compost are weekly, and shredded paper should be placed in a paper bag that is closed tightly.Official guidance
Why can I not book a cleanup in January?+
On Call Plus appointments pause between December 26 and the third Friday in January while holiday trees are being collected. A voucher to take the items to the SMaRT Station is the alternative during that period, and holiday trees are collected free on the compost collection day for four weeks from December 26.Official guidance
