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.

Mattresses and box springs are on the village's approved bulk item list and are collected weekly on the regular collection day with no additional charge and no limit on the number of items.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single family residential properties receiving village curbside collection, on the regular weekly collection day, with no limit on the number of approved bulk items.
When & how
Set the mattress and box spring beside the carts on your regular collection day, out as early as 4:30 p.m. the day before and no later than 6:30 a.m. that morning.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and clear of the carts, and keep the rest of the pile inside the approved bulk list so the crew can take everything in one pass.
Everything goes out on the same weekly collection day
Refuse, recycling, organics and your bulk items all ride the same weekly collection day, out as early as 4:30 p.m. the day before and no later than 6:30 a.m. that morning. A late set-out is not collected until the following week, and empty carts are taken in the same day as 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 Mount Prospect.
How much does mattress removal cost in Mount Prospect?+
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 Mount Prospect?+
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.
Will Mount Prospect take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. Mattresses and box springs are both on the village's approved bulk item list, collected weekly on the regular collection day at no additional charge with no limit on the number of items.Official guidance
When can I put bulk items and yard waste at the curb in Mount Prospect?+
Refuse, recycling, bulk items, brush and organics all go out on the same weekly collection day. The curb window opens at 4:30 p.m. the day before collection and closes at 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, and anything set out late waits for the following week.Official guidance
