Choose what goes

Just the mattress? Or the whole bed?

A mattress, box spring and bed frame are separate items. Add only what you need removed, and see the combined price before booking.

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.

Ready for pickup

From your bedroom to an easy pickup.

Book first. Then get the mattress to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from there.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.

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.

Text us about your setup
  1. Check what your delivery includes.

    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.

  2. 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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Diego.

How much does mattress removal cost in San Diego?

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 Diego?

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 I recycle a mattress at Miramar on Saturday?

The mattress collection site is open Monday-Friday, 7am-3pm, and closes on weekends. It has different hours from the nearby recycling center. Contaminated or severely damaged mattresses do not qualify.Official guidance

Is San Diego adding city bulky pickup soon?

Do not plan a removal around an announced future service. The city’s June 2026 update removed funding for the planned bulky-item enhancement, and current guidance says city bulky pickup is unavailable.Official guidance

Do apartments follow the city cart rules?

Properties already served by a private hauler should confirm arrangements with that provider. Ask the property manager about large-item collection and the permitted location before leaving belongings near shared bins.Official guidance
