A mattress is a bulk item and takes two stickers per unit, with the pickup booked by phone in advance.
City cost & eligibility
$16 per mattress or box spring unit, which is two bulk stickers per unit as of February 4, 2025. Springfield residents and properties that pay the annual city trash fee, with the pickup booked by advance phone request and the stickers bought before the appointment.
When & how
Buy the two stickers, call 311 for a bulk appointment, and set the mattress out for the scheduled collection because bulk items are collected by advance phone request only.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the rubbish cart, keep it dry, and have it out by the scheduled collection time on the appointment day rather than on the regular rubbish day. Put every mattress and box spring in a plastic mattress bag before it goes out, because units that are not properly bagged are not picked up. Bags are sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon and other retailers, and the plastic a new mattress or box spring arrives in can be reused when it is fully sealed with duct tape.
The cart goes on the tree belt by 6:30 am and nothing sits outside it
Rubbish is collected weekly in city wheeled carts, the cart goes on the tree belt facing the street by 6:30 am on the collection day, and no trash is allowed outside the cart without a bulk sticker. Residents get one cart per household and must recycle, the lid has to be within 1 foot of closing, and the carts and blue boxes are city property that stay with the residence when a household moves.
Bulk items and extra bags each need their own sticker
Bulk items need one sticker each and are collected by advance phone appointment only, while mattresses and box springs take two stickers per unit. Extra trash outside the cart goes in a plastic bag no larger than 32 gallons with one bag sticker, on the regular refuse day, with a limit of 10 extra bags on any collection day. Stickers are sold at the Big Y supermarkets in Springfield and the surrounding towns and at the City Hall Clerk's Office at 36 Court Street.
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 Springfield.
How much does mattress removal cost in Springfield?+
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 Springfield?+
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.
How does a Springfield mattress leave the curb?+
As a bulk item with two stickers per unit, because the city raised mattresses and box springs to two bulk stickers each on February 4, 2025, and bulk pickups are collected by advance phone request only. Buy the stickers at a Big Y supermarket or the City Hall Clerk's Office at 36 Court Street, call 311 for the appointment, and have the mattress out on the scheduled day in a plastic mattress bag, because units that are not properly bagged are not picked up.Official guidance
