Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santee.
How much does mattress removal cost in Santee?+
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 Santee?+
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.
Where can a Santee mattress be dropped off?+
At Waste Management's recycling center on 925 O'Conner Street, where mattresses and box springs are accepted without an appointment Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with a limit of one to two similar items per visit. A Santee homeowner can also use one of the two free Sycamore Landfill passes a year, and the appointment-only hazardous waste facility in El Cajon also takes mattresses.Official guidance
