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.

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.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
The City publishes mattress recycling information and lists bedding furniture in the bulky category, so the piece is confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress is a household item that will not fit the trash cart, so the published bulky item charge is the likely route, but the City does not name a mattress in its bulky list and instead links separate mattress recycling information, so confirm the item, the route and the cost with Waste Management on 800-972-4545.
When & how
If the hauler accepts it as a bulky item, the pickup happens on the recycling day for the address after the item is scheduled and paid for.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped so the crew can lift it, and ask when scheduling whether a box spring travels with it. The City also publishes a mattress recycling route alongside its donation list, and Big Brothers Big Sisters does not accept mattresses or furniture. The City's donation contacts for reusable items are Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army, so confirm what each one takes before arranging a 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.
A household with furniture or household goods that are still usable and should not go to disposal.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Medford residents offering usable items, with the City naming Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army for pickups and noting that Big Brothers Big Sisters does not accept mattresses or furniture. The City also publishes search services for pickups and drop off locations.
Arrange it
Call the organization the City lists, confirm what it takes and when it can collect, and keep the item until a pickup is confirmed rather than setting it at the curb.
Only usable items are appropriate for donation, some organizations refuse mattresses or furniture, and the City asks residents to consider donating before scheduling a bulky pickup.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Medford.
How much does mattress removal cost in Medford?+
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 Medford?+
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 mattress go in Medford?+
Confirm it with Waste Management on 800-972-4545, because the City lists bedding furniture in its bulky category and publishes mattress recycling information but does not name a mattress in the bulky list. If it is taken as a bulky item the pickup falls on the recycling day, and the City also lists Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army as donation contacts, so confirm with them whether either one takes a usable set.Official guidance
Who collects the waste in Medford?+
Waste Management, under the city contract, with the City setting the rules. Curbside trash and single stream recycling come on the same day, bulky items and the metals and electronics routes are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the department of public works on 781-393-2417 handles City questions and the City Hall drop off.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day and bin schedule?+
Follow the City calendar and the blue or green bin schedule for the address, which sets the weeks for recycling and the collection day. Recyclables go out on the same day as trash, both by 7:00 a.m., and nothing is placed at the sidewalk before the late afternoon or evening of the day before pickup.Official guidance
Where do batteries go?+
Nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries and cell phones can be recycled at City Hall Room 304 through the department of public works, and button cell batteries and mercury bearing devices go to the same office. Batteries are excluded from the curbside recycling bin.Official guidance
Can clothing and textiles be recycled?+
Yes, through a City partnership that collects unwanted clothing and textiles, with a three bag minimum for a pickup to keep routes efficient. Bagged textiles can also be dropped at collection bins at Medford public schools, including Curtis Tufts, McGlynn and Missituk, and those donations generate funding for each school's parent teacher organization.Official guidance
What is the cheapest way to clear a large item?+
Donation first, since the City lists Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army for usable items and asks residents to consider donating before scheduling a pickup. After that the cost depends on the item: the bulky furniture rate is the lowest published charge, white goods, metal items and exercise equipment are higher, and a television or monitor is higher again.Official guidance
