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.

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.

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.

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.

A Torrance address with City trash collection gets one free large item pickup a calendar year of up to twenty items, including furniture and mattresses, booked in advance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free large item collection a calendar year per address for residents with City trash collection, up to twenty items per pickup. An additional collection is priced from the published rate table by item count.
When & how
Call the City sanitation customer service line at 855-354-5623, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The pickup happens on your scheduled refuse collection day, and it is not available while the Christmas tree recycling programme is running, so book at least three weeks before that programme starts.
Get it ready
The pickup is booked, not set out on demand: materials cannot be placed out earlier than 12 hours before the scheduled pickup, items go where recycling is collected and at least five feet from the trash and recycling containers, and anything left on private property is not collected. Small items have to be tied together or bagged, and a cancellation has to be made at least one day ahead.
The large item pickup is booked, not set out on demand
One free large item collection is available a calendar year per address, up to twenty items, and it has to be booked with the sanitation line at 855-354-5623.

A household that has used the free pickup for the year and still has a load to clear.
Cost & conditions

Torrance addresses with City trash collection that have already used the free pickup for the calendar year. The City publishes the same two additional collection prices for each year of its five year schedule.
Arrange it
Book the additional collection on the same sanitation line at 855-354-5623 and tell the office the item count so the right rate applies.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Torrance.
How much does mattress removal cost in Torrance?+
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 Torrance?+
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 many large item pickups does an address get?+
One free pickup a calendar year per address, on call rather than on a fixed week, with up to twenty items collected. The City also sells additional collections, priced from its rate table by how many items are collected.Official guidance
How do I book the large item pickup?+
Call 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The pickup is scheduled on your regular refuse collection day, at least twenty items is the cap, small items must be tied or bagged, and the load goes where recycling is picked up and at least five feet from the carts.Official guidance
What will not be taken on the large item pickup?+
Construction debris such as wood, concrete, bricks, drywall, wall-to-wall carpeting, dirt, tree trunks and plumbing fixtures such as water heaters; auto parts such as batteries, doors, fenders, motors, gas tanks and tires; household hazardous waste such as paint, medicine, sharps, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, mercury equipment and electronic waste; and anything two people cannot safely handle, such as a spa, hot tub, piano or organ.Official guidance
Will Torrance take a mattress?+
Yes, and it is one of the items the City recycles rather than landfilling. Mattresses are accepted on the large item pickup and recycled through the Mattress Recycling Council, and the City also points out that California law requires a mattress retailer to take back the old mattress when a new one is delivered.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Torrance?+
The City's own Public Works Sanitation Division, which runs weekly trash, recycling and organics collection for about 29,500 single family homes, duplexes and select three and four unit properties. Customer service is 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and commercial and multi-family property service runs through private haulers instead.Official guidance
What does weekly collection cost a household?+
The monthly rate depends only on the size of the trash container, and the City publishes a five year schedule of increases through July 1, 2027. Recycling and organics containers carry no monthly charge, up to two extra recycling or organics carts are free apart from the delivery fee, and an additional refuse container carries its own published monthly rate.Official guidance
Is there a discount for a senior or disabled resident?+
Yes. The low income senior and disabled rate requires a 64-gallon refuse cart, a resident who is 62 or older or permanently disabled, and a household income inside the programme limits. Applications go through the Finance Department utility billing line at 310-618-5830.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to a transfer station?+
The City publishes a reference list of local transfer stations open to the public, in Gardena, Long Beach, Compton, Wilmington, Downey, Signal Hill and Carson. The City marks the list as reference only and subject to change, asks residents to call ahead about prices, hours and accepted materials, and notes that Torrance residents can receive discounted City rates with proof of residency.Official guidance
