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.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.
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.
2
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.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A mattress in good condition can be donated and picked up, while one that is not reusable goes to the hauler or to a transfer station for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no mattress rate, because disposal runs through the licensed hauler, and the transfer station charge for a drop off is set by the station. Confirm the item and the charge with the hauler or with the Republic Services transfer station on 217-384-2274 before moving the piece.
When & how
Arrange a donation pickup or a hauler pickup rather than putting the mattress out for a city collection, which does not exist.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped if it is being donated, since Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana and Empty Tomb both handle reusable bedding, and contact the hauler first for a piece that is stained or broken. A non reusable mattress can also be taken to the Republic Services transfer station at 921 Saline Ct. in Urbana for a fee.
Champaign's curbside service belongs to licensed private haulers, and the City states that it collects neither trash nor recycling. Anything that will not fit the cart, including furniture, a mattress, an appliance or an exercise machine, is arranged with the hauler on the account rather than reported to the City.
The City's directory leads with donation for anything still in working order. Furniture and reusable household items go to Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore, mattresses and box springs in good condition can be picked up by Immigrant Services or Empty Tomb, and working appliances go to Immigrant Services or ReStore.
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.
Any Champaign household or building that needs trash service, and the route for furniture, mattresses, appliances and other items the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
Haulers set their own rates because the City provides no collection, so confirm the cart size, the collection day, the bulky item terms and the amount directly with the hauler. Curbside recycling is included with the trash service at no extra cost for buildings of four units or fewer.
Arrange it
Choose a licensed hauler, set up the account, and ask the same company about the oversized item rather than treating it as a separate municipal service.
The City does not regulate collection hours, and the hauler's rules decide what is picked up at the curb, so an item the hauler will not take needs one of the donation, receiving site or collection event routes instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Champaign.
How much does mattress removal cost in Champaign?+
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 Champaign?+
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.
What do I do with an old mattress?+
Donate it if it is still in good condition. Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana may pick up mattresses and box springs and Empty Tomb can arrange pickups in Champaign, Urbana or Savoy. If it is not reusable, contact the garbage hauler for disposal or take it to the Republic Services transfer station at 921 Saline Ct. for a fee.Official guidance
Who handles waste collection in Champaign?+
Licensed private haulers, because the City does not collect trash or recycling at all. Public Works on 217-403-4700 runs the recycling requirements, the multifamily program and the seasonal yard waste collections, while the hauler on the account handles the carts and anything arranged as an extra pickup.Official guidance
Do the free collections cover my address?+
The yard waste collections, the holiday tree collection and the multifamily program apply to residential properties inside the Champaign city limits. Recycling through the hauler is required for buildings of up to four units inside the city, while an address outside the city limits sits in a different jurisdiction.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of a large item?+
That depends on the route rather than on a city rate. Donation is free through the outlets the City lists, the hauler charges whatever its own bulky item terms provide, a mattress drop off at the Republic Services transfer station carries a fee, and construction and demolition material at GFL starts from a published minimum charge.Official guidance
Is there a permanent hazardous waste drop off?+
No. The City states there is no permanent local drop off for residents, and the annual state sponsored collection event in the summer is described as the only local option, with registration required and help available on 217-403-4780. The current events accept only oil based paints and stains.Official guidance
Where do tires and motor oil go?+
Neither has a standing city drop off. Tires depend on occasional county collection events or a tire retailer, and some businesses will only take them when new tires are bought there. Motor oil and gasoline are accepted occasionally by auto parts stores and oil change shops, with the state collection events as the fallback.Official guidance
