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.

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.
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.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A mattress is named as a large item on the on call cleanup, alongside a sofa and an appliance, so bedding leaves through the same free appointment rather than a separate program. Two large items fit in one cleanup, and a mattress and box spring together would use both slots.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to two cleanups a year at no charge for eligible single-family homes, subject to review and availability, with two large items allowed per cleanup.
When & how
Book the cleanup at least two business days before the regular service day by form or phone, and list the mattress and any box spring separately.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and out of the carts, and note that a mattress and a box spring each count as a large item, so plan the whole load around the two item limit.
Cleanups run on the regular service day, so the request has to reach the hauler at least two business days ahead with the account name, the address and a list of everything to be set out. Loose garbage is never collected, wood pieces and carpet rolls have to be bundled or tied to four feet or less, pressure treated wood is refused, and only the items a customer service representative confirms will be taken.
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 South San Francisco.
How much does mattress removal cost in South 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 South 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.
Will the cleanup take a mattress and a box spring?+
Yes, but they count separately: each cleanup allows two large items, and a mattress and a box spring are two of them. The cleanup is free for an eligible single-family home up to twice a year, is booked at least two business days ahead, and runs on the regular service day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in South San Francisco?+
South San Francisco Scavenger Company collects residential waste, and it also runs Blue Line Transfer, the public disposal and recycling facility at 500 East Jamie Court. The customer service line for both the collection programs and the transfer station is (650) 589-4020.Official guidance
Who qualifies for the free cleanup?+
Residents of single-family homes may be eligible for up to two free cleanups a year, and every request is subject to review and availability. The hauler asks for two business days of notice, a list of the items, and confirms which items will be collected, so a multi-unit address should ask what it qualifies for.Official guidance
What should I do before sending something to landfill?+
The hauler asks residents to consider donation to a charity such as Goodwill, the Salvation Army or St. Vincent de Paul, selling through a consignment shop or online, or holding a garage sale, before the item goes out in a cleanup load or to the transfer station.Official guidance
