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.
Mattresses and box springs are listed heavy-trash items for City-served households.
City cost & eligibility
Confirm your address’s collection coverage and any applicable charge with its City-listed provider.
When & how
Use the address’s monthly heavy-trash day within the two-item allowance.
Get it ready
Lay the mattress and box spring flat on the ground next to the cart, not leaning against other objects. Ask the provider about wrapping or contaminated items.
At an eligible residential address, place no more than two approved heavy items per month at the curb beside the cart. The heavy date can differ from regular collection. Refrigerant appliances need separate City arrangements; exercise equipment needs exact-item confirmation.
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 Indianapolis.
How much does mattress removal cost in Indianapolis?+
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 Indianapolis?+
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 should an Indianapolis mattress be placed for heavy trash?
Lay the mattress flat on the ground next to the cart rather than leaning it against another object. Use the address’s heavy-trash day, not an ordinary weekly collection date.
Citizens’ Transfer Station charges $2 per carload or $5 for an SUV or pickup load, cash only. Its accepted heavy-trash stream includes the city’s mattress category; qualifying vehicles and two trips per day apply.
Can I use a trailer to take my mattress to Citizens’ Transfer Station?
No. Trailers, moving trucks, dual axles, haulers and stake-bed trucks are not allowed. The city also excludes truckloads over three-quarter ton. Check that your vehicle qualifies before loading.
When is Indianapolis Citizens’ Transfer Station open for mattress drop-off?
The published schedule is Saturday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., except the Saturdays closest to Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The address is 2324 S. Belmont Avenue. Bring cash and stay within two trips that day.
