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.

Mattresses and box springs are named on the county's bulky item list, so they go out on a scheduled bulky collection for a fee rather than in a cart.
City cost & eligibility
From $115 for minimum for a general special collection, with $258.80 per truckload, assessed by staff after the pile is examined at the curb. DeKalb County residential accounts including Decatur addresses; the county describes bulky items as requiring a fee and sets the amount on site, so confirm what a mattress costs when the request is submitted.
When & how
Set the mattress at the curb and submit the bulky item request online, by email or in person, then pay the assessed fee before collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and clear of the sidewalk and utilities, keep it out of the recycling and yard trimmings streams, and note that the county refuses tires, hazardous material, concrete products, Bagster bags and liquids in the same programme.
Weekly collection runs once a week for all three streams
DeKalb County collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day for Decatur addresses. Containers go out after 7 p.m. the night before collection, have to be curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and come back in within 24 hours of service. Collection schedules change during county-observed holidays and service can be suspended in bad weather, and the county asks residents to check the holiday schedule and the service status notices before reporting a missed pickup.
Bulky items are requested, assessed and paid before collection
Bulky items do not go out with the regular carts. The county lists furniture, mattresses and box springs, bathroom fixtures and appliances as fee required bulky items, and construction material, fencing, decking, tree parts, commingled piles, contractor waste and heavy cardboard as prepaid special collections. The sequence matters: the pile goes to the curb first, then the request is submitted online, by email to solidwaste@dekalbcountyga.gov with photos, or in person at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, staff assess the pile and leave an assessment form, and the fee is paid before collection.
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 Decatur.
How much does mattress removal cost in Decatur?+
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 Decatur?+
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 does a mattress go in Decatur?+
Onto DeKalb County's bulky item collection, which names mattresses and box springs. The county requires a fee for bulky items, staff assess the pile at the curb and the fee is paid before collection, so submit the request with the address and photos, either online, by email to solidwaste@dekalbcountyga.gov or in person at the Leroy Scott Drive office, and keep the mattress clear of the sidewalk.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Decatur?+
DeKalb County does. The county's Solid Waste Management department names Decatur among the cities it serves alongside unincorporated DeKalb and several other cities, and it collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day, runs the fee based bulky item collection and the prepaid special collections, and operates the Seminole Road Landfill where tires and electronics go. Customer care is 404-294-2900 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and in-person service is at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive in Decatur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
What does a bulky item pickup cost?+
The county treats bulky items as fee required and determines the amount with an on-site assessment after the pile is placed at the curb and the request is submitted. The published special collection table gives a general special collection minimum and a per truckload rate, with tree parts over three inches and commingled piles listed at higher minimum and per truckload figures, and the fee has to be paid before collection by online payment, check or money order or, in person, by credit card.Official guidance
