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.

Mattresses are not on the convenience center's refused list, so they travel as bulky residential material. Wake County also takes mattresses at selected convenience centers, two per day with residency verification, and sends extra mattresses to a shredder at the South Wake Landfill for a processing fee.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published for the Cary center, so confirm with 311 whether a fee applies. Wake County accepts up to two mattresses or box springs per day at participating sites with residency verification and charges a processing fee for additional mattresses at the South Wake Landfill shredder.
When & how
Use the Citizen's Convenience Center during its open hours while it is open to all materials, or a participating Wake County convenience center daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the cart, bring residency verification to a county site, and count each mattress and box spring separately because the county limit is two per day.
Rollout carts go to the curb no earlier than dusk the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street. Keep the cart out of the roadway and clear of light poles, mailboxes and fire hydrants, leave room between the garbage and recycling carts and the yard waste pile, and bring the emptied cart back in before 6 a.m. the next day.
Cary says the Citizen's Convenience Center stays open as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains because the North Carolina Railroad needs the right-of-way. For everything else the town points residents to the Wake County Multi-Material Recycling Facility on Old Smithfield Road in Apex and the Wake County Convenience Center on Aviation Parkway in Morrisville, where county fees may apply, and it confirms that curbside collection is not affected.
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.

Book a curbside special collection through 311
A Cary household with a couch, mattress, appliance or another bulky item that will not fit in the rollout cart.
Cost & conditions
The town says a scheduled special collection may carry a fee but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with 311 when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Call 311 inside Cary or (919) 469-4000 from outside town limits, or submit a request through the town's service system, and follow the set-out instructions it gives.
The cart service itself is for household garbage and recycling, and material the town refuses at its own facility, such as construction debris, paint, tires and treated lumber, stays off this route.

Take it to the Citizen's Convenience Center
A Cary household with bulky items, appliances, electronics, recycling or yard waste and its own vehicle.

Arrange it
Drive to a participating site, such as Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road in Apex, Site 3 at 266 Aviation Parkway in Morrisville or Site 4 at 3600 Yates Mill Pond Road in Raleigh, open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and be ready to show residency.

Cary residents have two ways to move bulky material themselves and one date to plan around. The Citizen's Convenience Center at 313 N. Dixon Ave. takes residential bulky items, recyclables, food waste and yard waste, and recycles appliances and electronics for a fee paid on site, but it refuses construction and remodeling debris, paint, motor oil, oil filters, tires, propane tanks, shingles, stumps, treated lumber, pallets, dirt, rocks, concrete and car batteries, and it does not admit commercial or contractor loads, box trucks or enclosed trailers. The town says the center keeps operating as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains, with Wake County facilities named as the replacement. Those county options are the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex for appliances, electronics, antifreeze, motor oil and oil filters, the Wake County Convenience Center Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road for up to two mattresses a day, homeowner construction debris with verification and scrap metal, and the South Wake Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 6150 Old Smithfield Road for paint, batteries, solvents and garden chemicals. Curbside carts, yard waste and the special collection request through 311 are not affected by the change.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in cary.
How much does mattress removal cost in cary?+
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 cary?+
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 can a Cary mattress go?+
To the Citizen's Convenience Center at 313 N. Dixon Ave. while it is open to bulky material, or to a participating Wake County convenience center, which takes a maximum of two mattresses or box springs per day with residency verification. Additional mattresses go to the shredder at the South Wake Landfill for a processing fee.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Cary?+
The Town of Cary collects household garbage and recycling in town rollout carts for residents who pay the monthly sanitation fee, and yard waste is collected on the same day. Questions and service requests go to 311 inside Cary or (919) 469-4000 from outside town limits.Official guidance
Is the Citizen's Convenience Center closing?+
Part of it. The town says the center stays open as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains because the North Carolina Railroad needs the right-of-way. For everything else the town points residents to the Wake County Multi-Material Recycling Facility on Old Smithfield Road in Apex and the Wake County Convenience Center on Aviation Parkway in Morrisville, and curbside collection is not affected.Official guidance
Who arranges disposal for an apartment or a shared building?+
Start with the property manager. The town service covers residences that pay the monthly sanitation fee, and the convenience center is closed to commercial and contractor loads, so a shared building may need its own arrangement for material that will not fit the cart.Official guidance
