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.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
No Albany or Dougherty County page names mattresses, so a mattress follows the same route as other household material, the county landfill, where the charge is set at the gate.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city schedule nor the county landfill page publishes a mattress rate, so confirm the load price at the county scale house, 229-302-3226, before hauling a mattress, and note that a mattress does not fit the city cart rules.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Dougherty County landfill during gate hours, or add it to a load in a rented roll-off container arranged at (229) 302-1800.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and covered for transport, because the county requires fully covered or secured loads, and keep it out of the city cart and out of the yard debris pile, which may contain nothing else.
Albany collects only what is inside the city-issued cart, so boxes are broken down and everything else waits for another route. Carts go to the curb or the alley no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, face the roadway within three feet of the curb and away from poles and mail boxes, and come back in by 7 p.m. that day. Leaves and yard debris are collected twice a month in a separate pile near the garbage collection point, and nothing else may be mixed into it.
All loads reaching the Dougherty County landfill must be fully covered or secured, and commercial loads must be tarped entering and leaving. The gate is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., closes fifteen minutes early so the site can shut down safely, and closes for an hour one day a month for a safety meeting. Herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries and tires with rims are refused, hazardous and biomedical waste is refused, restricted non-hazardous waste needs written approval, and children must stay in vehicles with no scavenging.
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.
City of Albany Solid Waste Division and Dougherty County Solid Waste Management
Dougherty County landfill
A household or business with furniture, mattresses, appliances, renovation debris or other non-hazardous material to drop off.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes no residential gate rate, so the price of a load is set at the scale house, 229-302-3226, where the customer weighs in and must weigh out.
Arrange it
Drive to the Dougherty County landfill Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the gates closing fifteen minutes early and a monthly one hour safety meeting closure.
Herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries and tires with rims are refused, along with hazardous and biomedical waste, restricted non-hazardous waste needs written approval, every load must be covered or secured, and scavenging is not allowed.
Self-haul in Albany means the Dougherty County landfill for anything non-hazardous and the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful drop-offs for recyclables and electronics. The landfill is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., closes its gates fifteen minutes early and for an hour one day a month for a safety meeting, requires every load to be covered or secured and commercial loads to be tarped, takes most non-hazardous material, and refuses herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries, tires with rims, hazardous and biomedical waste, with restricted non-hazardous waste needing written approval and a scaled in and out visit. The West Albany site at 2521 Meredyth Drive and the Downtown site behind the Civic Center take separated recyclables and batteries on weekdays and Saturdays, and electronics go to the KADB office or its September event. City roll-off containers, priced on the published schedule, handle a load too big for a truck.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Albany.
How much does mattress removal cost in Albany?+
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 Albany?+
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.
Where can I take a mattress in Albany?+
To the Dougherty County landfill, since neither the city nor the county publishes a mattress drop-off or a mattress rate. The landfill accepts most non-hazardous material, requires every load to be covered or secured, and sets the price at the gate, so call the scale house at 229-302-3226 before the trip. A mattress will not be collected in the city cart.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Albany?+
The City of Albany does it through the Solid Waste Division at 1900 N. Monroe St., reachable at (229) 302-1800. Household garbage is collected in city-issued carts and yard debris twice a month, additional containers are arranged for a fee, and the city also rents roll-off containers for larger loads. The county runs the landfill and the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful recycling drop-offs, which is where recyclables and electronics go.Official guidance
Where do Albany paint, oil and batteries go?+
Batteries never go to the landfill, which refuses them along with herbicides, pesticides, gasoline and oils, so household and rechargeable batteries go to the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful drop-offs at 2521 Meredyth Drive or behind the James H. Gray, Sr. Civic Center. Paint is a household problem rather than a site: buy only what you need, use or donate the rest, dry latex paint out so the solid residue can go in the roll-out cart, and recycle an empty dry steel can at Albany Recycling Services, 1301 East Gordon Avenue.Official guidance
What does the city charge for containers and collection?+
Residential household garbage collection is billed monthly under a schedule the city adjusts each July, and additional containers are arranged with the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800. Roll-off containers carry a one time set-out charge, a pull charge, a per ton tipping charge and a daily rental charge on the published fee schedule, and the same schedule prices passenger, truck and farm tractor tires separately.Official guidance
