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.
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.

Golden offers free curbside mattress and box spring recycling to all single family residences and townhomes inside the city limits, in addition to the annual large item pickup. A mattress that is wet, frozen or showing any sign of bed bugs will not be collected, so it has to stay dry and covered until the pickup day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free curbside mattress and box spring recycling for single family residences and townhomes within the City of Golden limits. Households outside the city limits, and pieces that are wet, frozen or infested, are not covered.
When & how
A call received by 5 p.m. on Thursday is scheduled for the following Tuesday, and a call received after that Thursday moves to the next week. City staff call back to confirm the pickup date, and the item has to be out by 8 a.m.
Get it ready
Set the mattress or box spring in the driveway, the front or side yard, or an alley where it is not blocked by a fence or gate, keep it dry and covered before the collection day, and label the item for City of Golden recycling so the crew can identify it.
Book an appliance or mattress by Thursday for the following Tuesday
The curbside appliance and mattress recycling program collects on Tuesday. A request received by 5 p.m. on Thursday is scheduled for the following Tuesday, a request that arrives after that Thursday moves to the next week, and City staff call back to confirm the date. Set the item in the driveway, the front or side yard, or an alley where a fence or gate will not block it, have it out by 8 a.m., and label it for City of Golden recycling.
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 Golden.
How much does mattress removal cost in Golden?+
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 Golden?+
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.
Does a Golden address qualify for the free mattress pickup?+
The free curbside appliance and mattress recycling program covers single family residences and townhomes inside the city limits of Golden. The City points households that are unsure about an address to the Jefferson County address lookup tool, and a household outside the city limits still has the option of the annual large item pickup or the mattress recycler in Commerce City.Official guidance
How does a Golden household get rid of a couch?+
Call the City's collection line at 5280 Waste Solutions and ask for a large item pickup. Every Golden household receives one free large item pickup per calendar year through the Pay-As-You-Throw program, and further items can be scheduled year-round for a fee. Couches, recliners, love seats, dressers, desks, tables, water beds, bundled carpet and a lawn mower are all on the City's acceptable list.Official guidance
Is appliance and mattress pickup in Golden free?+
Yes, for single family residences and townhomes inside the city limits. The City offers free curbside appliance and mattress recycling, and the accepted appliances are limited to full-size items such as a washing machine, a fully drained water heater, a dryer, a full-size refrigerator, a freezer, a full-size stove or oven and a dishwasher. Microwave ovens, dorm refrigerators, wet or frozen mattresses and pieces with signs of bed bugs are not collected.Official guidance
