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.

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.
Mattresses and box springs are on the bulk accepted list, with one condition that decides whether they get collected: they must be wrapped in plastic or sealed in a mattress bag before they go to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected as one of the two bulk items on your trash day for addresses on the municipal collection route, at no additional charge in the city's published guidance.
When & how
Put the wrapped bed out on your bulk pickup day, on the same day as trash collection.
Get it ready
Bag the mattress or box spring first, and do the same with foam toppers or anything else from a bed. Keep it dry and separate from loose trash, because unwrapped bedding does not follow the same route as a bagged mattress.
Out after 7 p.m. the night before, or before 7 a.m.
Trash, yard waste and bulk items all follow the same window: nothing goes to the curb before 7 p.m. the night before collection, and everything needs to be out by 7 a.m. on the collection morning. Special pickup items wait until after 7 p.m. the night before, the cart has to stand clear of cars, bags, totes, other carts, mailboxes and poles, and bulk items stay at least 3 feet from the 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.
City of Pontiac curbside service through Priority Waste
Put two bulk items out with the city curbside pickup
A Pontiac household on the municipal collection route with a sofa, chair, mattress, appliance or other large item that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two items are collected on the bulk day that falls on your trash day as part of the city curbside contract. Anything above the two item limit is the resident's cost, and the city's older bulk guide, published when the previous contractor held the work, listed a charge for each extra item.
Arrange it
Check the city's route map to confirm the address is on the municipal collection route, then set the items out in the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. window on the collection day, at least 3 feet from the cart. Calling the hauler to request the collection is recommended in the city's bulk guide, and Priority Waste can be reached at 586-228-1200 or 855-927-8365.
Two items only, no Freon appliances, no oil or gas equipment, no automotive parts, no construction items and no extra trash. Bulk items do not include televisions, computers or other electronics.
Pontiac's own drop-off windows both sit inside the city. The spring landfill days at the Transfer Station on 575 Collier Road run 7 a.m. to noon on selected Saturdays for residents with proof of residency, taking furniture, carpet, wood and demolition items, appliances without Freon and tires at $3 each inside a 3 cubic yard limit, with no trailers or commercial vehicles. Household recyclables go to the City Hall auxiliary parking lot, where the gates are open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the accepted list is paper, cardboard, plastics marked #1 or #2, glass bottles and jars and metal cans. Electronics, paint and household chemicals go to the Oakland County NoHaz events instead, which are free for Pontiac residents with pre-registration.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pontiac.
How much does mattress removal cost in Pontiac?+
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 Pontiac?+
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.
Does a mattress need to be wrapped in Pontiac?+
Yes. Mattresses, box springs, foam toppers and anything else from a bed have to be wrapped in plastic or put in a mattress bag before the crew will take them, and the wrapped bed counts as one of the two bulk items allowed on your trash day.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulk items in Pontiac?+
Priority Waste has held the city's curbside trash, yard waste and bulk contract since July 1, 2024. Missed collections go to Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 or 855-927-8365, and a collection that is more than 24 hours late goes to the city's Department of Public Works at 248-758-3600.Official guidance
What happens if I put out more than two bulk items?+
The city's live rule is two bulk items on your trash day. The bulk guide the city links was published in 2023 when GFL Environmental held the contract and lists a charge for each item above the limit that the city will not pay, so ask Priority Waste what the current price is before putting a third item at the curb.Official guidance
Who handles a pickup for an apartment or a shared building?+
Start with the property manager, because the city curbside programme runs on the municipal collection route and a shared building may arrange its own service. Confirm which hauler serves the address, whether the two bulk items are included, and where items may sit without blocking a shared driveway or sidewalk.Official guidance
