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.

Four free bulky pickups a calendar year are available, each taking up to four large items or four bags, scheduled for the regular collection day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Each San Clemente resident customer can arrange four free bulky item pickups a calendar year of up to four large items or four bags of material, with additional pickups provided for a small fee published on the City rate sheet.
When & how
Book the pickup with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and it is collected on the regular waste collection day.
Get it ready
Keep items inside the published limits: no more than eight feet in length, four feet in width or 150 pounds, with no liquid, oil, gas or freon inside anything set out. Branches and wood bundle up to four feet long and 18 inches in diameter.
Every bulky pickup, including electronic waste and universal waste, is scheduled for the regular waste collection day, so the booking is only for a date you already have service. Book with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and keep the material inside eight feet in length, four feet in width and 150 pounds.
The rate sheet states that bulky material must not contain any type of liquid, oil, gas or freon, so drain gas and oil from small motorized equipment, empty appliances of liquid and confirm with the hauler how a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner should be handled before it is set out.
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 San Clemente.
How much does mattress removal cost in San Clemente?+
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 San Clemente?+
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 free bulky pickups does San Clemente allow?+
Four free pickups a calendar year for each resident customer, each taking up to four large items or four bags of material. Book it with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or online, and it is collected on your regular waste collection day. Additional pickups cost a small published fee.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item?+
