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.

Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

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.
Mattresses and box springs are named on the acceptable list for the bulky item collection, with no wrapping requirement published.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the two annual bulky item collections at no additional cost for single-family households, inside the four cubic yard limit.
When & how
Schedule with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, then set the mattress out the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the carts, set it in the four cubic yard pile, and keep it clear of the street. Loose material that is not boxed, bagged or tied may not be collected.
A single-family household books one of its two free bulky item collections with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, and the collection is set within 21 days with a confirmation postcard mailed out. Items go to the curb the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day, because a pile set out early can collect extra or prohibited material and may then be refused. If the truck passes without collecting it, the household calls again to reschedule and moves the material out of public view in the meantime.
Four cubic yards, one major appliance, and the refused list
Each collection is capped at four cubic yards, described as six feet wide by six feet long by three feet high, and one major household appliance goes out per collection with doors or lids secured or removed. Loose items must be bagged or boxed, branches and prunings must be tied in bundles no longer than five feet or six inches across, and up to four passenger car tires are allowed. Items over 150 pounds are refused except furniture and appliances, and paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, car batteries, medical waste, painted wood, construction and demolition debris, rocks, bricks, dirt and concrete are all prohibited.
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 Union City.
How much does mattress removal cost in Union City?+
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 Union City?+
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.
Are mattresses accepted in the Union City bulky collection?+
Yes. Mattresses and box springs are named on the acceptable list for the bulky item collection, alongside other furniture. A single-family household gets two collections a year at no additional cost, booked with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, and the pile goes out the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.Official guidance
