A mattress is a named bulky item, so it rides the free bulky collection that each home can schedule twice a year. The city takes it at no extra cost up to the per collection volume limit, which makes St. Peters one of the places where a mattress leaves without a special fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Each St. Peters home, single-family or multi-family, can schedule up to two bulky collections a year at no extra cost, with up to 3 cubic yards per collection. Anything beyond 3 cubic yards is not collected, and St. Charles County Recycle Works refuses mattresses and box springs, so the city program is the route that takes them.
When & how
Schedule the bulky collection through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website for a single-family home, or by calling Solid Waste at 636-970-1456 for a multi-family building, then set the mattress out no later than 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees and out from under any utility line, because the automatic arm needs clear space and items under lines are not collected. Count it against the 3 cubic yard limit for that collection and do not add it to a yard waste pile.
The bulky program is the city's own route for anything too large for the cart. Every home gets up to two scheduled collections a year at no extra cost, picks its own date, and may set out bulky trash or bulky yard waste, not both at once. Space is first come, first served.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two scheduled bulky collections a year at no extra cost for each St. Peters home, single-family or multi-family, with up to 3 cubic yards per collection. Bulk drop-off at Recycle City carries a fee with a Resident Privilege Card discount, and one extra 55-gallon contractor bag may sit at the curb for a separate charge.
When & how
Book the date through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website for a single-family home, or call 636-970-1456 for a multi-family building, and set items out no later than 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside 3 cubic yards, about a pickup truck bed, stay at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees, and keep everything out from under utility lines. Brush and limbs go in a separate pile as their own collection and are never bundled, and appliances, glass, stoves and mowers all need the preparation the city asks for.
Bulky collection is scheduled, and the date is yours to pick
Bulky collection in St. Peters is by appointment rather than by zone. A single-family home schedules through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website, a multi-family building calls 636-970-1456, and the household chooses the date it wants on a first-come, first-served basis. Each home gets up to two scheduled collections a year at no extra cost, with a ceiling of 3 cubic yards per collection, about a pickup truck bed, and anything over that amount is left behind. A household may set out bulky trash or bulky yard waste, but not both at the same time.
Four preparation steps decide whether the pile is collected
The city asks for specific preparation before a bulky load goes out. Stoves need their latched doors removed, and lawn mowers need the gasoline and oil drained. Glass items, including shower doors, windows, mirrors, television sets and computer monitors, need a big X of duct tape across the glass and a pile of their own, because the city states that glass without tape is not collected. Brush and limbs go in a separate pile as their own collection, are never bundled, and stay under 4 feet in length and 8 inches in diameter. Everything sits at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees and never under a utility line.
Only the container the city furnishes may be used, and everything has to go inside it. The cart goes to the curb by 6:30 a.m. on collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before, with the wheels and the handle facing the home, and stays 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and streetlights. The lid may not stand open more than 12 inches, and the cart is stored out of sight from the street between collections. Sharps go in a heavy-duty puncture-resistant container with a teaspoon of bleach and a taped lid and never in a blue bag, and hot ashes wait in a metal container outside until they are fully cool.
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 St. Peters.
How much does mattress removal cost in St. Peters?+
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 St. Peters?+
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.
Will St. Peters collect a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, through the bulky item collection. A mattress is a named bulky item, each home can schedule up to two bulky collections a year at no extra cost, and each collection is limited to 3 cubic yards. Schedule through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website for a single-family home, or call 636-970-1456 for a multi-family building, and set it out by 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day.Official guidance
What can I set out for a bulky item pickup?+
Furniture, doors, mattresses, disassembled swing sets, furnaces, appliances that do not contain Freon, brush and limbs under 4 feet and 8 inches in diameter, and glass items such as windows, mirrors and televisions when the glass is taped with a big X and kept in a separate pile. The load is capped at 3 cubic yards, each home gets two free collections a year, and commercial waste, hazardous waste, concrete, tires, car batteries, liquids, yard waste bags, fiberglass boats and anything longer than 8 feet are refused.Official guidance
Who collects trash in St. Peters?+
The City of St. Peters collects its own trash, yard waste and bulky items through Solid Waste Services at 636-970-1456 rather than through a contracted hauler. Households use only the city furnished cart, put it out by 6:30 a.m. on collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before, and can schedule two free bulky collections a year through the STP COLLECTS app or by phone. A multi-family building books its bulky collection by calling rather than through the app.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?+
A single-family home schedules through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website, and a multi-family building calls 636-970-1456. The household chooses the date on a first-come, first-served basis, up to two collections a year at no extra cost, with a maximum of 3 cubic yards per collection. Items go out by 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day, at least 4 feet from obstructions and never under a utility line.Official guidance
