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.

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.

You’re in the loop.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

Mattresses are not named on the special load list, in the residential trash rules or on the neighborhood cleanup list, so no city route states plainly that a mattress will be taken. The special load service is still the route to ask about, because it is the city service meant for items the cart will not hold, but the answer has to come from the Sanitation Department.

City cost & eligibility
No city page publishes a mattress rule or a mattress figure. Call the Sanitation Department, describe the bed, and confirm whether it goes on the special load route and what the pickup truck sized load charge would be before anything is set out.
When & how
Confirm with the Sanitation Department first, then set the mattress out on the day the office gives you rather than on the regular cart day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, whole and wrapped if rain is coming, set it curbside where the truck can reach it with four feet of clearance, and keep it out of the cart, which takes household trash only.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Curbside by 6 a.m., and never in the alley

Trash goes out by 6 a.m. on the collection day inside the 96 gallon cart with the lid closed, four feet clear of cars, fences, trees and poles, and with the cart facing the street. Once the truck passes your block it does not come back, so a late set out waits a week. The special load crew works under the same curb rule for a different reason: the city does not allow it to drive into an alley or onto private property. Six holidays delay the rest of that week by one day, and yard waste comes on your trash day.

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Owensboro keeps no city drop off for furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions or construction material. Its one drop off site is the Recycling Center at 1401 W. 7th Street, which is open around the clock and takes newspaper, aluminum cans, steel cans and cardboard, and nothing else that matters for a cleanout. For the rest, the city publishes the providers it knows rather than an address list: Daviess County Solid Waste at 270-229-4484 is listed as a drop off for household and certain electrical recyclables, SA Recycling at 270-926-6611 is listed as a compensated drop off for household and bulk recyclables, Dahl & Groezinger and River Metals Recycling both pay for metals, and Tire Recycling Inc at 270-264-5700 takes tires. Tires and fluorescent tubes are also routed to the Transfer Station, where the city says there is a charge, and compact lamps can go to a retailer service desk instead. Because the city posts phone numbers instead of addresses and hours for those locations, confirm the current site, what it will accept and any charge before loading a vehicle. A household with a mixed load usually does better booking the city special load pickup, which is priced by the truck sized load and keeps everything on one call.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does mattress removal cost in Owensboro?

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 Owensboro?

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 Owensboro?

Call the Sanitation Department and ask. Mattresses are not named in the city's special load list, its residential trash rules or its neighborhood cleanup list, so the office has to confirm whether the bed goes on the special load route and what the charge would be.Official guidance

How do I arrange a bulky pickup in Owensboro?

Call the Sanitation Department in advance and describe the load. The published special load route covers excess household solid waste, old furniture, televisions and rugs, appliances and tires, and it is priced by the pickup truck sized load, so anything outside that list, including a mattress or an exercise machine, has to be confirmed on the same call.Official guidance
