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.
Mattresses and box springs are named on the contractor's accepted bulky item list, so they leave through a scheduled pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The contractor lists mattresses and box springs as generally accepted but publishes no price, so confirm the charge with the Traverse City branch.
When & how
Book the pickup by phone and set the mattress out on the agreed day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped in wet weather, and keep it clear of the cart and sidewalk. Neither the county household hazardous waste events nor the county brush site takes mattresses.
Traverse City has one hauler inside the city limits and no spring cleanup for large items, so an oversized piece leaves only after a scheduled appointment. Call GFL at (231) 943-8088, confirm the item and the charge, and set it out on the agreed day.
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.
Furniture, mattresses, white goods, televisions and similar large items
Cost & conditions
The contractor publishes no price for the Traverse City branch and warns that accepted items vary by branch, so confirm the charge and the item when you book.
Arrange it
Call GFL at (231) 943-8088 to schedule, or use the published branch contact on the contractor site, and GFL collects from the home.
Fuel, propane, paint, chemicals, batteries, cooking oil and automotive fluids are refused, and bulk pickup availability varies by branch.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Traverse City.
How much does mattress removal cost in Traverse City?+
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 Traverse City?+
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 Traverse City?+
On a scheduled GFL bulky pickup, since mattresses and box springs are on the accepted list. The county hazardous waste events and the brush site do not take them, so book the pickup rather than loading the car.Official guidance
Who collects waste inside Traverse City?+
GFL Environmental holds an exclusive contract for all waste hauling inside the city limits, and residents arrange yard waste and bulky item pickups by calling (231) 943-8088. The city no longer collects trash or bulk items during spring cleanup.Official guidance
