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.

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.

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.

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.

Mattresses have their own line on the Materials Recovery Center price list rather than riding the mixed waste rate. The centre charges a flat price per piece for mattresses and box springs, both dry and wet, and it recycles them, so the pieces stay out of the landfill.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per mattress or box spring at the Materials Recovery Center, whether the piece arrives dry or wet. Any household delivering its own load during Materials Recovery Center hours, with cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover accepted.
When & how
Take the piece to the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd., open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed Sunday through Tuesday, and check in at the gatehouse first.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry, which is the centre's own instruction because the pieces are recycled and moisture hurts the process. Count each mattress and each box spring separately, because the price is per piece, and keep the pieces clear of the household garbage and yard waste streams that the site refuses.
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, and it publishes no curbside large item pickup. Residents contract a waste hauler, and most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, so all recyclables can go in one bin with no separation. The regional authority still requires residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated for recycling within that stream.
The Materials Recovery Center on Ridgeview Road is the site for furniture, household junk, construction debris, mattresses, appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal and recyclables. The Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Courtland Street takes paint, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and sharps free from Minnesota households. The Yard Waste Compost Site on the same Courtland Street site takes leaves, grass and garden plants free and charges by the yard for brush, logs, dirt and sod.
The Materials Recovery Center is self service, so the household unloads its own material. Visitors stop first at the gatehouse, where staff assess each load and calculate the fee, and then drive to the appropriate station for recycling, reuse or disposal. The Reuse Area opens only to people who have items to drop off, and it closes thirty minutes before the centre itself closes.
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 Duluth.
What does it cost to dispose of a mattress in Duluth?+
The Materials Recovery Center charges a flat price per mattress or box spring, whether it arrives dry or wet, and it recycles the pieces rather than landfilling them. The centre asks that mattresses and box springs stay dry because of the recycling process, and each piece is counted and charged on its own. It is open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the fee is taken at the gatehouse.Official guidance
Can I book same-day mattress pickup in Duluth?+
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.
Who picks up trash in Duluth?+
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, so each household contracts a waste hauler. Most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, which lets all recyclables go in one bin with no separation, and the regional authority still asks residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated within that stream. Everything too large for the bin goes to a district drop-off rather than to the curb.Official guidance
What can I take to the Materials Recovery Center?+
Furniture and household junk, mixed construction and demolition material, clean concrete with no rebar or embedded material, pallets and clean wood, appliances, mattresses and box springs, electronics, tires, scrap metal, household recyclables on a three sort system, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic that is clean and dry, holiday lights and electrical cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances. Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted there.Official guidance
Are there fees at the Materials Recovery Center?+
Some streams are free and others are charged by the yard or by the piece. Household recyclables on a three sort system, scrap metal, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic, holiday lights and cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances are free, and one microwave is free each day along with four passenger or pickup tires and the small electronics and rechargeable batteries. Mixed waste, which covers household junk, broken furniture, old carpeting and construction debris, is charged by the cubic yard and that rate rises on October 1, 2026, while mattresses and box springs are charged per piece and appliances per piece.Official guidance
