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.

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

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.

Mattresses and box springs are the first examples the Village guide gives for bulky items, so a bed goes out on the same weekly collection day as the rest of the refuse at no extra charge while it weighs under 50 pounds. A heavier mattress or a set left with the frame has to be arranged with the hauler in advance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Covered by the quarterly refuse service the Village bills, because the Village guide lists mattresses and box springs among the bulky items collected at no additional charge on the regular collection day when they weigh under 50 pounds.
When & how
Place the mattress and box spring at the curb by 6 a.m. on your refuse day, and call Flood Brothers at least 24 hours ahead if either piece is over 50 pounds.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress flat and dry, wrap it if you want it protected from rain, and leave it where the truck arm can reach it rather than propped against a cart or buried under bags.
Out after 5 p.m. the night before, in before 6 a.m.
Refuse, recycling and yard waste are collected on the same day, once a week, Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., and the Village guide asks for material at the curb after 5 p.m. the day before but before 6 a.m. on the collection day. Your collection time may differ from the previous hauler's, so the curb window matters. Six holidays delay the rest of that week by one day: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Anything that does not fit the refuse cart has to be bagged or placed in a container no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds, and containers must be watertight, non-corrodible, and fitted with handles and a lid. Overloaded bags are not collected, and recycling belongs in the green cart only, because material left in other containers is treated as refuse. A household that regularly runs over can rent an additional cart from Flood Brothers, and yard waste runs the first full week of April through the end of the second week in December with a three cart limit.
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.
A household with a piece of furniture or a machine over 50 pounds, a mattress set heavier than the bulk line, or a large volume of material that the weekly truck will not take.
Cost & conditions
The Village guide says residents can contract individually with Flood Brothers for extra large items and large volumes such as construction or move out debris, and that the hauler sets prices and availability. Nothing is published, so the quote is the number that matters.
Arrange it
Call Flood Brothers at least 24 hours ahead, describe the item or the volume, and ask whether it goes on the refuse day or a separately scheduled day.
This is a private contract with the hauler rather than part of the quarterly Village refuse service, and it does not cover debris a contractor generates on a job, which stays the contractor's responsibility.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Oak Lawn.
How much does mattress removal cost in Oak Lawn?+
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 Oak Lawn?+
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.
How do I dispose of a mattress in Oak Lawn?+
Put it at the curb on your regular refuse day. Mattresses and box springs are named in the Village guide as bulky items that are collected at no additional charge under 50 pounds, and a heavier piece needs a call to Flood Brothers at least 24 hours ahead.Official guidance
Who picks up trash in Oak Lawn?+
Flood Brothers Disposal hauls residential refuse, recycling and yard waste for the whole village under the contract that started October 1, 2025, replacing Republic Services. The Village bills the quarterly hauling service and Flood Brothers bills additional carts, appliances, electronics, tires and special collections directly, with questions handled on the hauler's Oak Lawn line.Official guidance
What happens to a bulky item that weighs more than 50 pounds?+
It leaves the no additional charge bulk route. The Village guide collects bulky items under 50 pounds on the regular refuse day, and for anything heavier it has the household contact Flood Brothers to arrange the collection, with charges that may apply and no published rate.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my Oak Lawn pickup day?+
Yes. If New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas falls on a weekday or a Sunday, the rest of that week's collection shifts one day later, and Friday customers are served on Saturday instead.Official guidance
