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.

Cost & conditions
$2.75 for one City of Aurora waste sticker for each item or bundle. Stickers cost 2.75 each and are sold at the listed vendors and at City Hall, 44 E. Downer Place.

Arrange it
Buy the stickers, affix one to each item or bundle, and set everything out by 6 a.m. on the regular collection day, which is the same day as trash, recycling and yard waste with a separate truck for the large items.
Appliances need a scheduled collection through Groot at 630-892-9294 in addition to the sticker, electronics have their own routes and prices, and hazardous products such as paint, oil, pesticides and pool chemicals cannot be set out at all. A load too large to bundle needs a special pickup or container arranged at least 24 hours ahead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Aurora.
How much does mattress removal cost in Aurora?+
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 Aurora?+
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.

They go out on the regular collection day with a 2.75 sticker on each item or bundle.
