A mattress and box spring are on the heavy trash list, and because they are usually a pair the two pieces count as the single item allowed per pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Evansville residents who pay for trash service on their water bill, with the mattress and box spring treated as one item because the utility counts pairs such as a mattress and box spring together.
When & how
Book the pickup through the utility heavy trash form or by calling Republic Services at 800-886-3345, then set the mattress and box spring where the carts normally go the day before the scheduled collection.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and bag it in wet weather so it stays liftable, take off any frame or headboard because those are separate pieces, and never leave a mattress beside the cart hoping the weekly truck will take it.
Weekly carts go out by six, and nothing sits outside them
Republic Services of Evansville collects trash weekly and single stream recycling every other week on the same day, from the city carts. Carts go to the curb or the assigned pickup point by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and material outside the city carts is not collected except during seasonal yard service. Recyclables are rinsed and placed in the 96 gallon green-lid cart without sorting, a 48 gallon cart is available on request, and finished containers come off the curb the day they are emptied because the city can fine residents who leave containers or extra trash out.
Heavy trash runs on a booking, not on the cart day
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and limited construction material leave through the free heavy trash service rather than the weekly cart. One item is accepted per pickup, with items that are usually a pair such as a mattress and a box spring counting as one, and the service can run as often as every two weeks. Book it by submitting the utility heavy trash form, which Republic Services answers by email to confirm the details, or by calling 800-886-3345, then put the item where the carts normally go the day before the pickup. The route pauses during fall leaf collection from November through mid-December, and it is limited to residents who pay for trash service on their water bill.
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.

Self hauling in Evansville means using the Vanderburgh County Solid Waste District programmes and the two listed drop-off yards. Tri-State Resource Recovery at 1511 Harriet Street takes sorted glass, plastics 1 to 7, cardboard, aluminum cans, steel cans and mixed paper from Monday to Friday and on the second Saturday morning of the month, with bins reached from Read Street, and it refuses mirrors, china, ceramics and dishware. The Laubscher Meadows Landfill recycling area at 2121 Wimberg Road takes cardboard, plastics, aluminum cans, bi-metal cans and paper on weekdays, with no glass and no trash. Televisions, computers, monitors, printers, laptops, hard drives, cell phones and similar devices go to the county electronics recycling events in the spring and fall, and household chemicals such as oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, gasoline, auto batteries, fluorescent tubes and propane canisters go to a Tox-Away day. Automobile and light truck tires with the rims removed are collected with the fall Tox-Away day, and confidential paper is shredded free twice a year at Wesselman Woods for county residents. None of these programmes publish a drop-off fee on the retained pages, so confirm the charge before loading.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Evansville.
How much does mattress removal cost in Evansville?+
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 Evansville?+
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 get rid of a mattress in Evansville?+
Through the free heavy trash pickup. The utility lists a mattress and box spring among accepted furniture, and because the service counts items that are usually a pair as one item, a mattress with its box spring uses a single booking. Schedule it with the utility form or Republic Services at 800-886-3345 and place it out the day before the pickup.Official guidance
Who collects trash and heavy trash in Evansville?+
Republic Services of Evansville collects household trash weekly and single stream recycling every other week under the city programme run through the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility, and the same company runs the free heavy trash pickup that residents schedule by form or by calling 800-886-3345. The heavy trash route covers Evansville addresses that pay for trash service on their water bill, while apartment complexes, mobile home communities, businesses and county addresses are not eligible.Official guidance
Is heavy trash pickup free in Evansville?+
Yes for eligible households.
