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.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

A mattress is named in the city's bulky waste examples, so it is collected at the curb after the resident asks for the pickup. Bulky collection is part of the monthly solid waste service rather than a separate bill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky item collection such as furniture and appliances is included in the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee every residential household pays on its utility bill. The county landfill and the Landfill Road and Sims convenience centers also take mattresses at no charge for holders of a valid user permit.
When & how
Call 252-399-2424 or file a request in the Fix-It Wilson app, then set the mattress behind the curb before the pickup. The city asks that items be placed out before the request is made.
Get it ready
Put the mattress behind the curb and keep it clear of trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes and other obstructions. Do not set it on top of a water meter or utility box, and keep it dry so the crew can lift it.
Bulky pickups start with a phone call or a request
Nothing bulky is collected automatically. Residents call 252-399-2424 or file a service request in the Fix-It Wilson app, and the city asks that the items be placed behind the curb before the request is made so the crew can see them.
Items go behind the curb and away from trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, signs and utility poles, and never on top of a water meter or utility box. Roll-out containers sit with the handles facing the house and at least three feet from obstructions, and containers are set out by 7 a.m. and brought back in within 24 hours.
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.

Request a city bulky item pickup
A household inside the city limits with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a television, long limbs or tires that will not fit the roll-out container.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulky item collection is included in the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee that every residential household pays on its utility bill, alongside household garbage, compost and recycling.
Arrange it
Call 252-399-2424 or file the request in the Fix-It Wilson app, then place the items behind the curb clear of trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes, water meters and utility boxes. Wednesday is the day for bagged overflow and small loose items, set out before 7 a.m.
City ordinance keeps automobile parts, roofing shingles, construction and remodeling debris, dirt and sod, concrete, rocks and gravel, flammables such as gasoline and tanks, hot ashes, animal waste, furnaces and stumps with the homeowner or contractor. Excessive yard waste may also carry added cost, and a second roll-out container costs $50.

Use a county convenience center with a permit
A household with white goods, a television or computer, scrap tires up to five off the rim, cardboard, cooking oil or bulky furniture, mattress or yard waste to drop off.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes no per item charge for these materials, so the cost to confirm is the permit. A district household pays $45 a year through the solid waste availability fee on its tax bill, while a household outside the district, which includes the city, buys a temporary permit that renews annually. Call Wilson County Solid Waste Services at 252-399-2823 to confirm the current permit and what it covers.
Arrange it
Display a valid user permit, load the material yourself, and use a center in the county district Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Landfill Road and Sims are the centers that take bulky items.
Incorporated towns and cities are not inside the solid waste district, so city households need the temporary permit rather than the district's availability fee. Commercial and industrial waste is not accepted at the centers, three named centers close on Wednesdays, and every center closes Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Landfill Road and Sims centers take bulky items, with thirteen centers across the Wilson County Solid Waste District
Household garbage, appliances and white goods, recyclables, corrugated cardboard, scrap tires up to five off the rim, electronics including computers and televisions, used cooking oil, used glass bottles and jars, large bulky items such as mattresses and furniture at the Landfill Road and Sims centers, yard waste at those same centers, and clean functional clothing and shoes for the donation bins
Only household solid waste from district residents with a valid user permit, and commercial or industrial waste is refused and directed to the landfill. Glass bottles and jars go in the separate glass containers, and dishes, cups, drinking glasses, window glass and windshield glass do not. Three named centers close on Wednesdays, and all centers close Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., except the named centers that close Wednesdays.
The county publishes no per item charge for these materials. The permit is the cost to confirm: $45 a year is charged to a district household through the solid waste availability fee, non-district residents buy a temporary permit that renews annually, and Wilson city households are outside the district. Call 252-399-2823 to confirm the current permit and coverage.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Wilson.
How much does mattress removal cost in Wilson?+
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 Wilson?+
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.
How does a mattress get picked up in Wilson?+
Call 252-399-2424 or submit a service request in the Fix-It Wilson app, then place the mattress behind the curb. Mattresses are named in the city's bulky waste examples, the pickup is part of the monthly solid waste service, and the item needs to be clear of trees, parked cars, mailboxes, water meters and utility boxes.Official guidance
Can I take a mattress to the county instead?+
Yes. Large bulky items such as mattresses and furniture can go to the convenience centers on Landfill Road or in Sims, or to the Wilson County Landfill on Highway 42 East, at no charge for holders of a valid user permit. Wilson city households sit outside the county solid waste district, so the permit to ask about is the temporary permit that renews yearly.Official guidance
What does solid waste service cost in Wilson?+
Every residential household pays a $23.50 monthly solid waste fee on its utility bill, and that covers household garbage, compost, recycling and bulky item collection. A second roll-out container for trash or compost costs $50, and a recycling bin damaged beyond use may carry a $50 replacement fee.Official guidance
How do I ask the city for a pickup?+
Call the sanitation office at 252-399-2424 or file a service request in the Fix-It Wilson app, and place the items behind the curb before the request so they can be seen from the street. Bulky items, boxes and cardboard, motor oil in a clear sealed container, cooking oil, dried latex paint and batteries all start with that request.Official guidance
Can city residents use the county convenience centers?+
Yes, with a permit. Incorporated towns and cities are not inside the Wilson County Solid Waste District, so a city household does not receive the district permit through the tax bill and instead buys a temporary permit that renews annually from Wilson County Solid Waste Services. The centers take white goods, electronics, scrap tires up to five off the rim, cardboard, cooking oil, and bulky furniture or mattresses at the Landfill Road and Sims sites.Official guidance
