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.

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 and box spring is one of the four bulky item types an appointment covers, so bedding leaves on one of the two free collections a year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. a mattress and box spring is one of the accepted bulky item types within the two free appointments a calendar year.
When & how
Book the appointment with the hauler for a date between February 1 and December 31 and set the piece out on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside the size limit, and note that the appointment covers the mattress and box spring as one bulky item, so plan the rest of the load accordingly.
A Redwood City bulky appointment covers one of four loads: twelve 32-gallon bags of garbage, recyclables or compost with loose material bagged, boxed or bundled, under 60 pounds each and no more than two cubic yards; one large appliance such as a washing machine, clothes dryer or household refrigerator; one bulky item such as a mattress and box spring, furniture, or four tires without rims; or one electronic waste item such as a computer monitor, microwave or television.
Residential customers receive two curbside bulky item appointments a calendar year at no additional charge, taken on the regular collection day, and appointments can be scheduled from February 1 through December 31. They do not carry over from one year to the next, extra collections can be arranged for a fee, and a tenant in a multi-family building arranges the pickup through the property manager.
Liquids, sludge, dirt, rock, hot ashes, concrete, asphalt, hazardous waste, infectious waste, construction debris, demolition debris, anything longer than five feet, treated wood and items over 200 pounds are all outside the bulky item programme, and an item over 200 pounds may carry an extra fee and is not guaranteed even so. Hazardous material such as batteries, motor oil and medication goes to the county drop-off instead.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Redwood City.
How much does mattress removal cost in Redwood City?+
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 Redwood City?+
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.
Does Redwood City take mattresses as a bulky item?+
Yes. A mattress and box spring is one of the bulky item types covered by an appointment, and a residential customer gets two free appointments a calendar year, scheduled between February 1 and December 31 for collection on the regular service day.Official guidance

Who do I call about garbage service in Redwood City?+
Recology San Mateo County handles collection, bulky appointments and billing for garbage service from January 1, 2026, and its customer contact email appears on the city's solid waste page.

Billing for garbage services moved from the City of Redwood City to Recology San Mateo County for service provided from January 1, 2026. A single-family residence of one to four units is billed quarterly in advance with payment due 30 days after the bill date, and the city noted that customers with a hardship created by the timing change can contact Public Works.Official guidance
Where can I donate usable items instead of binning them?+
The hauler's bulky item page lists donation routes around San Mateo County before anything is thrown out, including Goodwill, the Assistance League of San Mateo County, FreeCycle, the Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange and a county office of sustainability listing of organisations that take household items.Official guidance
