Three parts. Choose only the ones going.
Mattress
Choose twin, full, queen or king / California king. The mattress choice covers the mattress itself. A topper is a different item.
Box spring or foundation
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.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

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.

A mattress is not on the city's refused list, so it goes out with a bulky pickup when it fits inside the three cubic yard allowance and can be handled by two people.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the two free bulky item pickups a year for City of Pasadena refuse customers, inside the three cubic yard allowance.
When & how
Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before the regular trash day, name the mattress on the item list when you schedule, and set it out for the scheduled weekday.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, set it on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street no more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup and by 7 a.m., and make sure it stays within what two people can lift safely.
Bulky items go on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, in front of the house, and the resident has to put them there because city staff cannot enter private property. Nothing goes out before the pickup is scheduled, everything is out no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day and by 7 a.m. that morning, and early set-out can draw a citation from Code Enforcement. The pile may fill no more than a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, and each item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely.
Electronic waste such as televisions, DVD players, cellphones, gaming consoles, computers and monitors is refused, along with construction and roofing material such as concrete, cement, bricks, roof shingles, tiles and drywall, household hazardous materials such as paint, batteries, fertilizer, oil and cleaning supplies, landscaping project material such as dirt, sand, gravel, large branches and stumps, bushes and railroad ties, and automobile parts except up to two tires without rims. Refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused as well. Wood, pipe and branches must be no longer than three feet and tied into easy to handle bundles, and glass and mirrors should stay visible to the crew.
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 City of Pasadena refuse customer with furniture, a mattress, a household appliance or other bulky material that fits a three cubic yard pile and can be lifted by two people.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two free bulky item pickups a year for households with city refuse service, subject to scheduling availability. Extra items and any pickup beyond the two free ones are charged.
Arrange it
Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before the regular trash day, list the items, and place them on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street for the scheduled weekday.
The load is limited to three cubic yards and to what two people can lift, pickups are not scheduled on holidays, electronics, construction material, hazardous waste, landscaping project debris, refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused, and residents whose trash is collected by a private hauler have to contact that hauler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pasadena.
How much does mattress removal cost in Pasadena?+
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 Pasadena?+
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.
Can a mattress go out with the Pasadena bulky pickup?+
Mattresses are not on the city's refused bulky list, so a mattress can go out with one of the two free pickups a year when it fits the three cubic yard allowance and two people can lift it. Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks ahead and list the mattress when you book the pickup.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Pasadena?+
The city Public Works Department collects refuse from residential properties itself, and the City Service Center on 626-744-7311 handles bulky item appointments, bin rentals and used oil collections. Households whose trash is collected by a private hauler, such as apartment buildings, arrange bulky pickup with that hauler instead.Official guidance
How do I book a bulky pickup and what can go out?+
Call 626-744-7311 at least two weeks before your regular trash day and list the items you are putting out. The pile may fill no more than a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, each item has to be light enough for two people, and everything goes on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street within 24 hours of the pickup.Official guidance
