A Santa Maria resident may bring up to five mattresses or box springs for free to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill, where they are recycled, and the programme excludes waterbeds, sofa beds, air mattresses, loose bedding, pillows, cushions and pads, which fall back to the disposal fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Santa Maria residents for up to five mattresses or box springs at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill, 2065 East Main Street, Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Businesses are not eligible, and waterbeds, sofa beds, air mattresses, loose bedding, blankets, sheets, pillows, cushions, mattress pads and toppers, playpens and infant carriers are excluded and subject to disposal fees.
When & how
Drive the mattresses to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and load them in the position the Recycling Park asks for so the load can be unloaded in order.
Get it ready
Keep the load to mattresses and box springs only if the free programme is what you are relying on, because a waterbed, a sofa bed or a pile of bedding is charged instead, and keep the unit out of the carts at home.
Load the vehicle in the order the Recycling Park asks for
The Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Recycling Park sits ahead of the trash face so recyclable material can be sorted instead of buried. The city asks drivers to load in this order from the cab backwards: construction and demolition material, green waste, scrap metal, appliances, mattresses, tires, cardboard, electronic waste, organics, commingled recyclables and concrete last. State law requires recyclable and organic material to be separated from the trash before arrival, and an unsorted load can be charged the posted hard to handle rate.
A Santa Maria resident may bring up to five mattresses or box springs for free to the regional landfill, where they are recycled, but waterbeds, sofa beds, air mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, loose bedding, blankets, sheets and loose mattress pads or toppers are excluded from the free programme and are charged as waste instead. Businesses are not eligible for the free mattress recycling.
The city publishes two lists of material the landfill will not bury. Recyclable material has to be sorted and taken to the Recycling Park, and it covers electronics, glass, construction and demolition debris including drywall, cement and asphalt, metals, organic waste, paper and cardboard, plastics, and the other group of whole tires, white goods and appliances, and mattresses. Hazardous material goes only to the household hazardous waste facility, and it covers automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals and cleaning products, compressed cylinders such as propane, helium and fire extinguisher tanks, fluorescent lights and mercury items, garden chemicals, paints, pool and hobby supplies, sharps and printer cartridges.
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 Santa Maria.
How much does mattress removal cost in Santa Maria?+
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 Santa Maria?+
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 get rid of a mattress in Santa Maria?+
A Santa Maria resident can bring up to five mattresses or box springs for free to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., where they are recycled. Waterbeds, sofa beds, air mattresses, loose bedding, blankets, sheets, pillows, cushions and mattress pads are excluded from the free programme and charged as waste instead, and businesses are not eligible.Official guidance

The landfill is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the household hazardous waste facility at the same address takes chemicals free from residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays.Official guidance
Does Santa Maria pick up bulky items from the curb?+
The city publishes a bulky item pickup service and the Solid Waste Division arranges it at 805-925-0951 extension 7270, but the allowance and the fee are not published with the program's public terms, so confirm both on that line.
