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.

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.

The City bulk rate list names mattresses and box springs with furniture, so a mattress is collected as a scheduled bulk item.
City cost & eligibility
$14.69 for published furniture rate that names mattresses and box springs. City-serviced residential addresses inside city limits. Confirm whether a mattress and its box spring count as one item or two when you schedule.
When & how
Request the pickup through Access Winter Haven or by phone and set the mattress out for the confirmed date.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and ask whether it must be wrapped or bagged for the crew.

City cost & eligibility
$15.67 for published bulk rate per cubic yard of non-horticultural refuse. City-serviced residential addresses inside city limits. Ask about odd-shaped items, including exercise equipment, when you schedule.
When & how

Get it ready
Keep the pile loose and reachable at the curb, and confirm whether the item needs to be broken down.
Bulk pickup is a scheduled service, so the couch, mattress, appliance or pile waits for the confirmed date rather than the routine route. Describe every item when you request the pickup.
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.

Two county routes serve Winter Haven addresses. The household hazardous waste facility on Environmental Loop takes chemicals and electronics from residents at no additional fee with a five-component limit, and the northeast convenience center takes bulky, yard and construction material, tires and scrap metal at flat residential rates with proof of residency. Polk County now routes residents away from the North Central Landfill and to its transfer station, so confirm the current drop-off location and hours before loading.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Winter Haven.
How much does mattress removal cost in Winter Haven?+
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 Winter Haven?+
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 set count as one bulk item?+
Ask when you request the pickup. The published list groups mattresses and box springs with furniture, and the crew confirms how the set is counted.Official guidance
How is bulky refuse priced when it is not furniture or an appliance?+
The City charges non-horticultural refuse by the cubic yard. Describe the pile when you schedule so the division can confirm the volume.Official guidance
Does the City or the County collect my trash?+
Blue and green containers mean the City of Winter Haven serves the address. Gray and black containers mean Polk County handles collection, which residents arrange with Polk County Solid Waste.Official guidance
What can I bring to the county household hazardous waste facility?+
Household chemicals, batteries, fuels, paint, fluorescent lights and household electronics are accepted from Polk County residents. Electronics are limited to five components per visit, and businesses are not eligible.Official guidance
