Ready for pickup

From your bedroom to an easy pickup.

Book first. Then get the mattress to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from there.

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.

Text us about your setup
  1. Check what your delivery includes.

    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.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress leaves Bowling Green as a confirmed bulk item or in a rented roll off container. Neither the city, the county nor the state's Warren County facility list publishes a mattress programme or a mattress rate.

City cost & eligibility
Scott Waste lists mattresses among the common bulky items but publishes no Bowling Green mattress rate, so the price and the eligibility come from the local franchise office at 270-783-4016.
When & how
Call the franchise office and confirm the pickup date before the mattress leaves the house, then keep it off the curb and out of the street until that day. A roll off container is the alternative when a whole cleanout is going at once.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the recycling stream, because the programme's published list has no mattress category and refuses the items it cannot process. A mattress also cannot sit on private property as a dump ground, because the city code bans maintaining one and requires disposal at a properly permitted landfill site.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Book the bulky pickup before anything goes to the curb

Scott Waste's own bulk page tells customers that bulk trash pickup availability varies by location, that common bulky items include mattresses, washers, dryers and furniture, and that the pickup date has to be confirmed with the local office before items are placed at the curb. The same pages warn that acceptable items vary, that some appliances may carry an additional fee in a roll off container, and that batteries, chemicals and electronics are refused in that container. Plan the pickup first, then sort the restricted material into its own route.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Warren County solid waste franchise, billed by Bowling Green Municipal Utilities

Arrange a bulky item pickup with the franchised hauler

A Bowling Green household with a couch, mattress, appliance, grill or other large item that has to leave the property but will not fit in the cart.

Cost & conditions
Scott Waste publishes no bulky item rate for Bowling Green and states that availability and acceptable items vary by location, so the price and the item list come from the local office at 270-783-4016.
Arrange it
Call Scott Waste at 270-783-4016, the number BGMU publishes for sanitation questions, and ask for the bulky item policy and price for your address before anything is set out.

Because availability varies by location and nothing is published for the city, an item a neighbour had collected may still be refused, and the item cannot wait in the street while the pickup is arranged.

See the bulk pickup page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Bowling Green has no city-run transfer station or public drop off, and the city code requires solid waste to go to a properly permitted landfill, so the practical self-haul routes are the ones the county and the state list name. Call the franchise office at 270-783-4016 first: Scott Waste collects bulky items including mattresses, washers, dryers and furniture where its local rules allow, requires the pickup date to be confirmed, and quotes roll off containers for remodeling debris and appliances through the same office, with batteries, chemicals and electronics refused in those containers. For construction and demolition debris, Kenway Contracting on Louisville Road is listed as a construction and demolition debris landfill open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Appliances are listed under white goods at Southern Recycling on Clay Street, open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and at Parrish Recycling Center on Old Louisville Road. Televisions, computers and small electronics go to Warren County's Household Hazardous Waste Day at 999 Lauren Avery Drive on Saturday, October 31, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., or between events to a local retailer such as Best Buy on Campbell Lane and Batteries Plus on US 31W, and Kentucky notes that household electronics are not banned from landfill disposal. Paint, solvents, cleaners, batteries, waste fuels, pesticides and fluorescent bulbs belong at that same county event, which refuses tires and business material; used oil goes to a listed automotive handler, and tires go back to a certified tire retailer. Separate yard waste from the household waste before it goes to the curb, keep containers and bundled limbs within the published limits, and keep every container out of the street.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bowling Green.

How much does mattress removal cost in Bowling Green?

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 Bowling Green?

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.

Where can a Bowling Green mattress go?

To a bulk pickup arranged with the franchised hauler, which names mattresses among the bulky items it may collect and answers at 270-783-4016, or into a rented roll off container. The state's 2025 Warren County recycling facility list shows no mattress category and no government drop off, and the hauler publishes no pickup price, so both the item and the cost have to be confirmed before the mattress is set out.Official guidance

How is Bowling Green sanitation billed?

Through the utility bill. Bowling Green Municipal Utilities states that it provides billing service for Scott Waste Management, which it names as the sanitation provider for all residential customers in the city, and the county treats collection as a franchised service that Fiscal Court issues and manages. The refuse and recycling service therefore arrives with the BGMU bill, and sanitation questions go to Scott Waste at 270-783-4016.Official guidance
