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.

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.

Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Add a location photo and clear access notes so your hauler can identify exactly what is going.

A mattress and a box spring are both named on the city's furniture list, and both carry their own published price of 50 dollars each rather than the 12 dollar one to three item price.
City cost & eligibility
$50 per mattress, and per box spring when a set goes out together. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment residents asked to verify eligibility before paying. The city lists the mattress and box spring price separately from the 12 dollar one to three item price, so a set costs the published price twice. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
When & how
Buy the sticker, schedule the pickup and set the units out on the scheduled date, or take them to the Lewiston Street facility between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 7 a.m. and noon on Saturday.
Get it ready
Wrap or bag the unit so it stays dry, attach the sticker, keep the mattress and box spring together as the set that was scheduled, and keep them out of the automated refuse barrel.
Fall River publishes a single bulky item program with a scheduled curbside option and a year-round drop-off. Curbside pickup is only for residents who receive city collection, with apartment addresses asked to verify eligibility before paying, and the items are collected by the city's bulky hauler on a scheduled date with the sticker the city issues attached. The alternative is the DCM facility at 10 Lewiston St., open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon. The base price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, or miscellaneous lists, with individual prices for the heavier pieces, and the city's notice page warns that the published list of accepted items is not complete.
The 12 dollar price covers one to three standard items, and the city publishes the exceptions instead of hiding them. A mattress and a box spring are 50 dollars each. A refrigerator or freezer is 13 dollars each, an air conditioner is 13 dollars each and a microwave is 8 dollars each. Screens run from 10 dollars for a computer monitor or a television up to 27 inches, to 15 dollars for a television over 27 inches and 20 dollars for a console model television. Anything outside the published lists has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584, because the city says its list is for educational purposes and is not a complete account of what it will accept.
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.

Buy a sticker and schedule a curbside bulky pickup
A Fall River household that receives city curbside collection and has furniture, an appliance, a mattress or a screen to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $12 per scheduled bulky item collection of one to three standard items. Residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment addresses asked to verify eligibility before paying. Individual prices apply instead for the heavier items: mattress and box spring 50 dollars each, refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner 13 dollars each, microwave 8 dollars each, computer monitor and television up to 27 inches 10 dollars each, television over 27 inches 15 dollars each and console model television 20 dollars each.

Curbside bulky pickup is limited to addresses that receive city collection, the items are collected only on the scheduled date, and the city's list of what it accepts is published as examples rather than a complete list.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fall River.
How much does mattress removal cost in Fall River?+
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 Fall River?+
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.
What does it cost to get rid of a mattress in Fall River?+
50 dollars each. The city's bulky item fee table lists a mattress at 50 dollars each and a box spring at 50 dollars each, separately from the 12 dollar price for one to three standard items, so a mattress and box spring set costs the published price for each piece. The set can go out on a scheduled curbside date with the city sticker or be dropped at the Lewiston Street facility.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Fall River?+
The city's Solid Waste Division, part of the Department of Community Maintenance, runs curbside collection and the bulky item program, and it publishes its own contact details at One Government Center Room 321 on 508-324-2584 and solidwaste@fallriverma.gov. The bulky items page states that curbside bulky collection is done by the city's bulky hauler on a scheduled form, while the contact block lists a separate number for missed trash and recycling pickups and for cart repairs.Official guidance
Do I need a sticker for a bulky item?+
Yes, for a scheduled curbside collection. The city states that residents with scheduled curbside collections must attach the bulky item sticker issued by the city, that items are only collected on the scheduled pickup date, and that property owners with items that have no paid sticker may be subject to litter fines.Official guidance
