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.

A mattress is the one large item with a published curbside rule here. The city asks for it wrapped in plastic and set out for collection at the curb, and the same item comes in free at the WyCo Dumpster Days events.
City cost & eligibility
Curbside collection sits inside the residential trash and recycling service that the Unified Government bills each month, and no separate per-item charge is published for a mattress, so confirm the current monthly charge and your collection day with WM at 1-800-796-9696 or through 3-1-1.
When & how
Put the mattress out on your normal trash day, by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before, wrapped in plastic. The Dumpster Days events take mattresses free on their spring and fall weekends, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Wrap the whole mattress in plastic before it reaches the curb, which is the city condition for collection. Keep it clear of the carts so the truck can reach both, and keep bedding and clothing out of the recycling cart, which takes paper, cardboard, cans and plastics only.
Kansas City, Kansas collects trash and recycling on the same day each week, and carts can go to the curb no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day. Each container needs a tight-fitting lid, usable handles for lifting and a weight at or under 50 pounds, and metal barrels are not acceptable. The city asks households to keep the carts clear of vehicles, fences and mailboxes and puts trash and recycling on separate sides of the driveway or walkway so the crew can tell them apart at a glance.
The weekly truck is a cart service, not a bulk pickup
Loose trash is not collected, and the city publishes no standing appointment for a pile at the curb. The rule that does exist for a large item is for a mattress, which goes out wrapped in plastic, and rugs, which go out rolled and tied at no more than 4 feet long and 50 pounds. Loose lumber is treated as construction material and is refused, so the pile that a household clears out of a garage has to go to an event or a hauler rather than to the curb.
WyCo Dumpster Days is the free municipal route for bulky household items, and it runs once in spring and once in fall rather than every week. The 2026 dates are May 1 and 2 and October 2 and 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Indian Springs on 47th and Orville, entered from westbound Orville Avenue. Wyandotte County residents need proof of residency such as a driver's license or utility bill, business and non-profit loads are turned away, and everything between events goes to the MRC Recycling drop-off or a private hauler.
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 Kansas City.
How much does mattress removal cost in Kansas City?+
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 Kansas City?+
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 put a mattress out in Kansas City, Kansas?+
Wrap it in plastic and set it out on your normal trash day, by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. The plastic wrap is the city rule for collecting a mattress at the curb, and that collection sits inside the monthly residential trash and recycling charge rather than a separate per-item price. The spring and fall WyCo Dumpster Days events also take mattresses at no charge from Wyandotte County residents.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Kansas City, Kansas?+
Waste Management collects it under a contract with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, managed by the Public Works solid waste team. Trash and recycling run on the same weekly day, the set-out window opens at 4 p.m. the day before until 7 a.m. on collection day, and the 2026 monthly charge for the pair is billed to the household. A building of five or more units is different, because collection there is handled by the property owner or manager rather than by the city contract.Official guidance
What is WyCo Dumpster Days and what does it take?+
WyCo Dumpster Days is the Unified Government's free bulky item event for Wyandotte County residents, run once in spring and once in fall at Indian Springs on 47th and Orville. Residents who show proof of residency can bring mattresses, furniture, fixtures, microwaves, general appliances without refrigerant and most electronics, with a per-item charge only on the heavy display types. Refrigerators and any item containing refrigerant are refused, as are tires, yard and storm debris, construction material and business loads.Official guidance
Does the city pick up large items at the curb?+
Only in a narrow way. The published curbside rules cover a mattress, which goes out wrapped in plastic, and a rug, which goes out rolled and tied at no more than 4 feet long and 50 pounds. There is no standing curbside appointment for furniture, appliances or a general pile, and loose trash is left at the curb, so those items go to a WyCo Dumpster Days weekend or to a private hauler instead.Official guidance
