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.

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.

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.

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.

Bedding is named in the city's trash definition, so a mattress rides the same route as furniture.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the trash route, so confirm the pickup and any charge for a mattress or box spring with Public Works at 337-491-1220.
When & how
Set the mattress out with the trash that will not fit the container, and confirm the pickup day at 337-491-1220 since the route runs at least twice a month.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the city garbage container and off the recycling stream, and keep it dry and free of any building material, tire or chemical because those categories are refused.
Garbage is bagged inside the city container and collected weekly
Garbage is the city's term for all solid or semi-solid kitchen refuse subject to decay along with its packaging, and the ordinance also counts waste paper, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household as garbage. All garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and specific pickup questions go to Public Works at 337-491-1220.
Trash is everything that will not fit the container, and white goods need a call
Trash is any refuse other than garbage and includes furniture, bedding, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household that will not fit in the ninety-eight-gallon container, and the city collects trash and yard waste from residences at least twice a month. White goods are picked up too, but the owner has to call ahead to 337-491-1220, items must be free of perishable food with doors or lids removed or taped shut, and any refrigerant must be professionally removed before collection.
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 Lake Charles.
How much does mattress removal cost in Lake Charles?+
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 Lake Charles?+
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 does a Lake Charles mattress go?+
Bedding is named in the city's trash definition alongside furniture, debris and rubbish that will not fit the ninety-eight-gallon container, so a mattress and box spring ride the trash route that the city runs at least twice a month. Keep it out of the garbage container and the recycling stream, and confirm the pickup at 337-491-1220.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Lake Charles?+
The City of Lake Charles Solid Waste Division does, through Public Works at 337-491-1220, with once-a-week garbage container collection, trash and yard waste from residences at least twice a month, and white goods pickup when scheduled. Garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and trash is the refuse that will not fit in it, including furniture and bedding.Official guidance
