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.

Norwalk handles mattresses in a specific order. California law requires every mattress retailer to take back a used residential mattress and box spring free of charge when delivering new units, the city links a mattress recycling location finder and notes that CleanLA runs ongoing mattress collection events, and only as a last resort does the city say to contact Athens for a bulky pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The retailer take-back is free by law and the recycling locations and CleanLA events set their own terms, while the hauler's bulky pickup publishes no price. Confirm the chosen route before the mattress leaves the house.
When & how
Start with the retailer delivering a new mattress, the city's mattress recycling location finder, or a CleanLA mattress collection event, and use an Athens bulky pickup only as the last resort.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and out of the trash cart, and ask the receiving retailer or recycler whether it needs the mattress bagged or wrapped before the appointment.
Trash, organics and recycling carts are set out with the wheels against the curb by 6:00 am on the regular collection day, side by side about one foot apart and at least three feet from parked vehicles or other objects, with a clear path so the truck can reach them. Bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste and automotive parts are not cart material, and hazardous material is prohibited in the containers by state law.
Athens refuses automobile parts, construction and demolition debris including dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock, hazardous waste such as antifreeze, automotive fluids, cleaning products, compressed gas cylinders full or empty, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, paint, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals and solvents, and loose or scattered building material and lumber. Each of those has its own route in Norwalk rather than a place in the pickup pile.
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.
City of Norwalk Public Services and Athens Services
Request a bulky item pickup from Athens
A household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a television or another large item that will not fit in the carts.
Cost & conditions
The hauler removes bulky items on request but publishes no pickup count and no price, so confirm both with Athens at (888) 336-6100 or when the request is submitted.
Arrange it
Submit the bulky item request through the hauler's site or call (888) 336-6100, whose hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday and 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM noon Saturday.
Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are refused, and the hauler asks residents to reuse or donate usable items first.
A household buying a new mattress or box spring from a California retailer.
Cost & conditions
No charge. By law every California mattress retailer must offer to take back a used residential mattress and box spring free of charge when it delivers new units.
Arrange it
Ask the delivering retailer to take the old unit at the same time, or use the mattress recycling location finder the city links or a CleanLA mattress collection event.
The free take-back is tied to a new delivery, so a household with no purchase has to use a recycling location, a CleanLA event, or the Athens bulky pickup as a last resort.
Norwalk's household routes are mostly collection and counter based. Athens removes bulky items including major appliances and furniture on request through its bulky item form or at (888) 336-6100, and it refuses construction and demolition debris, automobile parts, loose building material and lumber, and hazardous waste. The city answers the rest with drop-offs: used motor oil and filters are free from the curb by appointment at atyourdoor@wm.com or 800-449-7587, or at a certified collection center the city lists with addresses on Norwalk Boulevard, Pioneer Boulevard, Studebaker Road, Firestone Boulevard and Imperial Highway; old paint goes to Dunn-Edwards at 12125 Imperial Highway; household batteries go to four city locations during business hours and car batteries to AutoZone or O'Reilly; sharps come with a free mail-back container; and the remaining household chemicals and electronic waste go to the free Los Angeles County collection events or permanent centers. Mattresses follow a different order entirely, because a California retailer has to take the old unit back free when it delivers a new one, and Athens is the last resort. Carpet can be dropped at Carpet Manufacturers Warehouse in Commerce or Serv-Wel Disposal & Recycling in Montebello, and project debris needs a private container.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Norwalk.
How much does mattress removal cost in Norwalk?+
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 Norwalk?+
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 Norwalk?+
By law a California mattress retailer has to offer to take the used mattress and box spring back free of charge when it delivers new units, and the city also links a mattress recycling location finder and notes CleanLA's ongoing mattress collection events. Athens is the fallback, because the city says to contact the hauler for a bulky pickup of a mattress as a last resort.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Norwalk?+
Athens Services is the hauler for Norwalk, collects trash, organics and recycling in carts, and handles the bulky item request service. Customer service is (888) 336-6100, open 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday and 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM noon Saturday, and the City of Norwalk Public Services division runs the special waste drop-offs and events.Official guidance
How do I request a bulky pickup in Norwalk?+
Athens removes bulky items including major appliances and furniture on request only. Submit a bulky item request through the hauler's site or call (888) 336-6100 during its service hours, and confirm the allowance and any charge at that point, because neither is published.Official guidance
When should carts go out in Norwalk?+
Carts go out with the wheels against the curb by 6:00 am on the regular collection day, side by side about one foot apart and at least three feet from parked vehicles or other objects, with a clear path for the truck.
