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.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

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.
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. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Massachusetts bans mattresses from disposal, and the district lists mattresses among the banned materials, so a mattress needs a confirmed route rather than a place in the trash.
City cost & eligibility
Mattresses are banned from disposal and no New Bedford mattress route or rate is published in the readable sources, so call the Department of Facilities and Fleet Management at (508) 979-1520 or Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400 to confirm the collection and its charge.
When & how
Call the city department at (508) 979-1520 or the hauler at (855) 533-3400 before the mattress goes out, because mattress disposal is banned in Massachusetts and a plain curbside set-out may not be collected.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of both carts and off the curb until the collection is arranged, and keep it dry and bagged where the collection asks for that so it can still be recycled.
Capitol Waste Services picks up bulky items such as furniture and appliances, and brush seasonally, by appointment for New Bedford residents, and answers at (855) 533-3400 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Recyclable paper, cardboard, bottles, cans, jugs and jars are banned from the trash, and leaves, grass, mattresses, clothing, cathode ray tubes such as old boxy televisions and monitors, and whole tires are banned from the landfill, so those items need a route other than a cart.
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 New Bedford household with weekly trash and recycling and a couch, mattress or appliance that will not fit a cart.
Cost & conditions
No curbside rate and no bulky appointment rate are published in the readable sources, so call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400 to arrange the collection and ask the charge.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400, open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to book a bulky item or brush appointment, and use the weekly collection for trash and recycling.
Recycling is mandatory, yard waste is only collected on designated weeks through the season, and mattresses, clothing, whole tires, leaves, grass and cathode ray tubes are banned from disposal, so those items need a confirmed route.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in New Bedford.
How much does mattress removal cost in New Bedford?+
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 New Bedford?+
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.
Can a mattress go in the trash in New Bedford?+
No. The district lists mattresses among the materials banned from disposal in Massachusetts, along with leaves, grass, clothing, whole tires and cathode ray tubes such as old boxy televisions and monitors. The district publishes no New Bedford mattress route or rate, so call the city Department of Facilities and Fleet Management at (508) 979-1520 or the hauler at (855) 533-3400 to confirm how the mattress leaves.Official guidance
