Mattress

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.
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.

Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from the waste stream on November 1, 2022, and Malden states that using the city bulk item policy for either one is no longer permitted. The city publishes a list of authorized vendors instead of a city collection, and it says disposal without an authorized vendor is prohibited by law.
City cost & eligibility
The city sets no price. Each authorized vendor quotes its own rate, and the city describes the curbside option as the middle price and the in-home option as the most expensive, so ask each vendor for its current charge.
When & how
Contact an authorized vendor directly and book a pickup day. The published contacts are ABH Services of Malden at 781-941-2422, Classic Cleanouts of Malden at 781-558-2626, HandUp at 774-271-8744, Junk Dispatch of Saugus at 781-504-7480 and Marvin Junk Removal at 781-267-5966.
Get it ready
Take the unit out of the bulk pile and book an authorized vendor instead, and ask before pickup whether the vendor removes the mattress from inside the home, because several on the city list charge extra for in-home removal.
Trash goes out in a covered barrel with a valid bag or trash tag
Trash has to sit in a lidded barrel with the lid completely closed and be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the pickup day. Each bag is either a blue pay-as-you-throw bag from the city or, in a city black barrel carrying the current year trash tag, a standard store-bought bag of 13 gallon or larger with no loose trash, a lid that closes and no more than 35 pounds in the barrel. The city is running a tagging and education period on barrels that do not meet the rules, and fines can follow once that period ends.
Mattresses and box springs left the bulk policy in November 2022
The state disposal ban that took effect on November 1, 2022 removed mattresses and box springs from the waste stream, and Malden states that the city bulk item policy can no longer be used for either one. The city publishes a list of authorized vendors and says that disposing of a mattress without one is prohibited by law, so the unit is booked with a vendor rather than set out with the trash.
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.
A household with a bulk item, a white good, a piece of furniture or an exercise machine that is too large for the weekly barrel.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no price for these items. The Waste Wizard gives the route, and the Department of Public Works confirms any charge at 781-397-7160.
Arrange it
Search the item in the Waste Wizard, then call the Department of Public Works during its Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours to arrange the collection day.
The normal weekly route takes only bagged trash inside a lidded barrel, so an item that is not confirmed with the city is left at the curb.
A household with a mattress or a box spring, which the city can no longer take through the bulk item policy.
Cost & conditions
The city sets no price and publishes only that the curbside option sits in the middle of a vendor's pricing and in-home removal at the top, so ask the vendor for its current charge.
Arrange it
Call an authorized vendor, such as ABH Services of Malden at 781-941-2422, Classic Cleanouts of Malden at 781-558-2626, HandUp at 774-271-8744, Junk Dispatch of Saugus at 781-504-7480 or Marvin Junk Removal at 781-267-5966, and book a pickup day.
The city has no direct business arrangement with any listed vendor and says that disposing of a mattress without an authorized one is prohibited by law, so the vendor list is the route.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Malden.
How much does mattress removal cost in Malden?+
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 Malden?+
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.
Why can a mattress not go out as a bulk item in Malden?+
The Massachusetts ban that took effect on November 1, 2022 keeps mattresses and box springs out of the waste stream, and Malden says the bulk item policy can no longer be used for either one. The city lists authorized vendors that recycle or donate the unit, says it has no direct business arrangement with them, and states that disposing of a mattress without one is prohibited by law.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Malden?+
The City of Malden Department of Public Works runs weekly trash and recycling collection for residential buildings of six units or less, and buildings with more than six units and commercial properties have to arrange private pickup. Qualifying homes get one free trash barrel and one free recycling barrel, and the department answers at 781-397-7160 at 356 Commercial Street.Official guidance
What do I need to set trash out in Malden?+
A lidded barrel with the lid fully closed, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, with every bag either a blue pay-as-you-throw bag or a standard bag inside a city black barrel carrying the current year trash tag. The tag is good on the 35 gallon city cart only, asks for bags of 13 gallon or larger, and caps the load at 35 pounds, and the city is running a tagging and education period on barrels that do not comply.Official guidance
Who can take a mattress in Malden?+
An authorized vendor from the city's published list, because the state ban ended the bulk item route for mattresses and box springs. The city names ABH Services of Malden, Classic Cleanouts of Malden, HandUp, Junk Dispatch of Saugus and Marvin Junk Removal, says it has no direct business arrangement with them, and states that disposing of a mattress without an authorized vendor is prohibited by law.Official guidance
