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.

A mattress and box spring ride the city bulky collection together under one sticker, and Kent County also landfills either piece at its two residential drop-offs.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per bulky set-out, charged as one City bulk sticker for a mattress and box spring together or as the same charge paid through the online bulk item form, with the county drop-off charging separately per piece. Grand Rapids residential addresses with city refuse service at properties of up to eight units, or Kent County residents delivering to the North Kent or South Kent center.
When & how
Set the mattress out with a sticker on it, or pay online and have it at the curb by 7 a.m. the next business day. The county alternative is a weekday or Saturday morning trip to Rockford or Byron Center instead of waiting for the bulky route.
Get it ready
Bag the mattress or keep it dry in wet weather, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces, and never put a mattress or box spring in a recycling cart or a recycling drop-off container because the county does not recycle them.
Out by 7 a.m. and back off the curb the next morning
Carts go to the curb with the lid arrows facing the street by 7 a.m. on the collection day and stay at least three feet from poles, cars, hydrants and other carts. Nothing goes out before 7 p.m. the day before, and carts have to be off the curb by 7 a.m. the day after collection. A cart set out late draws a return fee, and a cart blocked by a vehicle or left on a sidewalk may not be serviced at all.
Sticker items stay at the curb until the truck comes
Furniture, mattresses, box springs, appliances and large household fixtures sit at the curb until the bulky collection reaches them, so the sticker has to stay attached and visible to the driver and the piece has to be placed where the truck can reach it. Items left out without a sticker are not collected and the property owner may receive a violation, and any one item is limited to six feet by five feet.
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 Grand Rapids.
How much does mattress removal cost in Grand Rapids?+
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 Grand Rapids?+
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 do I get rid of a mattress in Grand Rapids?+
Two routes. The city collects a mattress and box spring together as one bulk item with a single sticker, put out at the curb and collected within the bulky window. The other route is a trip to the North Kent Recycling & Waste Center in Rockford or the South Kent Recycling & Waste Center in Byron Center, where a mattress or box spring is landfilled for a charge per piece, and neither center recycles them or takes them in the recycling drop-off.Official guidance
How much does a bulky item pickup cost in Grand Rapids?+
The city charges one bulk sticker for each item it collects, and the same charge can be paid through the online bulk item form instead of buying a sticker. A mattress and box spring together take one sticker, and a sectional couch needs a sticker for every section. A household that hauls its own load instead pays the county per piece for a mattress or box spring and per unit for an appliance holding refrigerant, on top of any vehicle-load minimum for general refuse.Official guidance
Where can I take items myself in Kent County?+
The North Kent Recycling & Waste Center at 2908 Ten Mile Road in Rockford and the South Kent Recycling & Waste Center at 10300 South Kent Drive in Byron Center take appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal and compressed gas tanks, and the Grand Rapids SafeChem site at 1045 Wealthy Street SW takes electronics during its own collection window. Electronics are free for residents apart from box-style televisions, monitors and appliances holding refrigerant, mattresses and box springs are landfilled per piece, and concrete, asphalt and aggregate go to South Kent free of charge.Official guidance
Can I pay for a bulky pickup online in Grand Rapids?+
Yes. The city's online bulk item form covers the same collection as a bulk sticker, so nothing has to be bought in advance or attached to the item. The items then have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. the next business day and stay there until they are collected, which the city aims to complete within three to five business days and generally within a week of the payment. Any one item is still limited to six feet by five feet, and televisions, hazardous waste and tires are still refused.Official guidance
