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.

The city's heavy trash rules name bulky waste and appliances with the paid extra item route, but they do not name a mattress or a box spring, so bedding has to be confirmed with Priority before it goes out even though it looks like the same kind of load.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the heavy trash page nor the fee ordinance names a mattress or publishes a mattress charge, so call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm whether the unit counts inside the three item allowance or has to be paid for as an additional item.
When & how
Call Priority to confirm the unit, then set it out during the published heavy trash week if it counts inside the allowance, or schedule and pay for it at least 48 hours ahead if it does not.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the trash and recycling carts, and ask at the same time about a box spring, since the city names neither.
Lawrence collects heavy trash in the first full week of May and the first full week of October, with the 2026 weeks published as May 4 to 8 and October 5 to 9. Each property may place three items at the curb in the spring and three more in the fall at no additional cost, which the city ordinance matches by allowing up to three bulky items during the Board of Works cleaning events. Anything beyond the three is paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours before it goes out.
The city excludes building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks from curbside collection, and it states that the list is not limited to those examples while offering to walk through any other exclusions when a bulky collection is scheduled. That is the reason a project load needs a private container rather than a heavy trash pile, and the reason to call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 about any item that is hard to classify.
What the sanitation account costs and what an overage tag covers
The base solid waste and recycling fee is a published monthly amount for a household with one trash and one recycling container, and it rises each January 2. A monthly senior discount is available to one and two person households where someone is 65 or older and water use stays at or under 7,500 gallons a month, and those households cannot rent extra containers. An extra container carries a monthly charge with a ceiling of two trash and two recycling containers, a replacement container carries its own published charge, and an overage tag for a bag or box that does not fit the container is bought at the Department of Public Works. Each amount is listed in the published fee schedule and in the charge records here.
Recycling goes into the provided 95 gallon recycling cart and the city lists clean plastic bottles and containers marked 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7, clean food and beverage cans or cartons, paper, clean flattened cardboard and paperboard, and clear or coloured glass bottles. A former cart cannot be used, and an additional container is requested through the city form. Trash that will not fit the container is handled with an overage tag rather than a loose pile, and the city's Department of Public Works at 9001 East 59th Street sells them.
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 Lawrence.
How much does mattress removal cost in Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
Call Priority Waste at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm the unit first, because the city's heavy trash page names bulky waste and appliances on the paid extra item route but never names a mattress or a box spring. If Priority treats it as one of the three items, it goes out during the spring or fall heavy trash week at no additional cost; otherwise it is paid for and scheduled at least 48 hours before it is placed at the curb.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lawrence?+
The city contracts residential waste management to Priority Waste, which answers at 855-WASTE-65 or 855-927-8365 and at 586-228-1200.
