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.
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.

The city and the Mattress Recycling Council opened a permanent mattress and box spring collection site at the Corporation Yard on North Prospect Street. It is free and open to Porterville and Tulare County residents on the third Saturday of each month.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Porterville and Tulare County residents at the Corporation Yard site on the third Saturday of each month. The state mattress recycling fee is collected on each mattress sold rather than charged at the drop-off, and California retailers must offer to take an old mattress when they deliver a new one.
When & how
Third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. at 555 N. Prospect Street, alongside the household hazardous waste collection. It is the only published mattress drop-off window in the city.
Get it ready
Bring the mattress or box spring to the Corporation Yard during the monthly window, keep it dry, and ask the retailer to take the old unit when a new one is delivered if that is easier.
One monthly window for hazardous and electronic waste
The household hazardous waste collection and the mattress recycling site both operate on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at the Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street. Electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps are taken at the event, and it is the only published drop-off window for them.
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 Porterville or Tulare County household with a mattress or box spring to recycle.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Porterville and Tulare County residents at the Corporation Yard site on the third Saturday of each month, with the state mattress recycling fee collected on sales rather than at the drop-off.
Arrange it
Take the mattress or box spring to 555 N. Prospect Street between 8 a.m. and noon on the third Saturday of the month and hand it over at the site.
One morning a month at one address, and the mattress has to be dry and manageable. The mattress must not go in any city cart.
A household buying a new mattress or box spring for delivery in California.
Cost & conditions
No charge. California law requires any retailer delivering a purchased mattress or box spring to offer to take away an old one at no additional cost, and the city states that this applies to online purchases as well.
Arrange it
Ask the retailer about take back when the delivery is arranged, and keep the old unit dry until it is collected.
The take back applies to a mattress the retailer is delivering against, and the Mattress Recycling Council is the body that runs the programme and receives the reports.
Self haul in Porterville means the two city drop-offs at the Corporation Yard on North Prospect Street. The recycling drop-off center there is open around the clock for residential recyclables that match the blue can programme, and it refuses commercial loads. On the third Saturday of each month between 8 a.m. and noon the same yard hosts the household hazardous waste collection, which takes electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps, and alongside it the free mattress and box spring site run with the Mattress Recycling Council for Porterville and Tulare County residents. Nothing else has a published city drop-off: the carts refuse large appliances, furniture and construction debris, and the city publishes no curbside bulky pickup, so confirm the current option with the Refuse Division at 782-7513 or arrange a private hauler before moving a large item.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Porterville.
How much does mattress removal cost in Porterville?+
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 Porterville?+
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 recycle a mattress in Porterville?+
Take it to the permanent collection site at the City Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street, which is open to Porterville and Tulare County residents on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at no cost. California retailers also have to offer to take an old mattress or box spring when they deliver a new one, including for online purchases.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Porterville?+
The city collects it. The Public Works Field Services Division runs the refuse routes and the recycling programmes, and the Refuse Division answers collection questions at 782-7513. Residential refuse is billed on the city utility account at the rate the finance department publishes for the current year.Official guidance
