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.

The city runs one free large item drop off day a year at Anderson Park, with a five item limit per household and a residency check.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The drop off day is free to Wheat Ridge households with proof of residency through a current utility bill or a government issued photo identification showing the current address, and the limit is five items per household. Residents unload their own items, the site closes promptly at the published time with no late entry, and the program may be delayed or canceled in inclement weather.
When & how
The next published date is Saturday, May 15, 2027 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Anderson Park on 44th Avenue at Field Street, so plan for extended wait times and arrive before the close.
Get it ready
Bring the load inside the five item limit, remove the propane tank from a gas grill, disassemble a swing set, and cut carpet into no more than five bundles each under five feet. Smaller material that is accepted has to be securely bagged, and anything on the refusal list is turned away at the gate.
Beds are accepted at the annual drop off day as a mattress, a box spring and a frame, each counting toward the five item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress, box spring or frame is accepted free of charge by a Wheat Ridge household with proof of residency, with each piece counted inside the five item limit for the day.
When & how
Take the bedding to Anderson Park between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the published date, with no late entry after the close.
Get it ready
Count the mattress, the box spring and the frame separately inside the five item limit, keep the pieces dry, and have the load ready to unload yourself, because residents unload their own items at the drop off day.
The annual drop off is five items, self unloaded, with proof of residency

The site closes promptly at the published time with no late entry, wait times can be long, and the event may be delayed or canceled in bad weather.
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 Wheat Ridge.
How much does mattress removal cost in Wheat Ridge?+
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 Wheat Ridge?+
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 mattress and box spring count as one item in Wheat Ridge?+
The city lists beds as mattress, box spring and frame on the acceptable list, and the drop off day has a five item limit per household, so plan for each piece to count separately. Proof of residency is required and residents unload their own items.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Wheat Ridge?+
A licensed private hauler that each household chooses, because Wheat Ridge runs an open market system rather than a city collection contract. The city's sustainability office runs the compost drop off program with Scraps and the free annual large item drop off day, and it can be reached at sustainability@wheatridge.gov or 303-235-2841.Official guidance
What is the free large item drop off day?+
One day a year the city opens a drop off site for items that do not fit a household cart or that the hauler charges extra for.

A Jefferson County resident pays a co-pay for the first 75 pounds with a per pound charge after that, while paint products, automotive batteries, motor oil and one pound propane cylinders are free, and household chemicals and paint are also offered back to the public through the Reuse Room.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Wheat Ridge?+
To Rooney Road, because televisions, monitors, computers and laptops are all refused at the city drop off day. The center takes anything with a cord, charges electronic waste by the pound with a maximum charge per television, and securely destroys hard drives, and an appointment is required.Official guidance
Where does yard waste and food waste go?+
To the city's compost drop off program with Scraps at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center and City Hall, where members can drop an unlimited amount of compost at any time of day, with the first two months free for residents while supplies last with a starter kit. Rooney Road states that it takes no organic recycling, and the annual drop off day refuses branches and leaves.Official guidance
