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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Francisco.
How much does mattress removal cost in San Francisco?+
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 Francisco?+
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 take a mattress to the San Francisco transfer station?+
Yes, the station lists mattresses and box springs. Separately delivered recyclable pieces have a different allowance from damaged bedding or mixed disposal loads; confirm which applies.Official guidance
Can apartment residents schedule Recology directly?+
Yes. Tenants in a participating building may contact Recology directly for their annual collection. The property must have an active eligible account.Official guidance
Can I pay for more bulky appointments after my allowance?+
The dedicated bulky-program FAQ currently says additional appointments beyond the yearly allotment cannot be scheduled. Check transfer-station or other receiving options when the allowance is used.Official guidance
