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.

Mattresses and box springs are excluded from the weekly can and are collected through the prepaid bulk residential item collection, where each one is a priced item.
City cost & eligibility
$15 per mattress, bed or box spring on a scheduled bulk residential item collection, on top of the 25.00 pickup service fee that covers up to five items. City residential solid waste customers who prepay for the bulk collection, with the item no heavier than two people can lift and carry.
When & how
Book by the published prepay deadline for the monthly collection day, with October 19, November 16 and December 14 published as the remaining 2026 deadlines and the collection days falling later in each of those weeks.
Get it ready
Place the mattress or box spring at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day, keep it dry and light enough for two people to handle, and note that the service is prepaid with no refunds.
Only what is inside the city-issued can is collected
All trash set out for collection must be inside the city-issued garbage can, and since January 1, 2025 anything placed beside the can is not collected at all. Garbage has to be bagged inside the container, animal waste has to be sealed in a plastic bag, grass trimmings and yard waste have to be bagged and placed into the container, and branches go in only when they are cut into pieces of 2 feet or less. The container has to be out by 6 AM on the collection day and placed three feet away from other containers, poles, signs and mailboxes with the handle facing the house.
The city publishes the list of items that will not be collected on the regular garbage route: appliances and electronics, box springs and mattresses, building material, carpet, concrete, construction and remodeling debris, decks and fences, dirt, furniture items, hazardous waste, oil, propane tanks, rocks, sand, sod and trees. Those items move to the prepaid bulk residential item collection or, for construction material and hazardous waste, to the city landfill.
The bulk collection fee is a service fee plus a fee per item
A prepaid bulk residential item collection starts with a pickup service fee that covers up to five items, and the disposal fee for each item is charged on top from the city's published list. The lower tier covers a bed, box spring, mattress, sofa, chair, recliner, dresser, television, treadmill, dishwasher, dryer, stove, washer, water heater, grill, toilet, small pool and propane tank, the higher tier covers every refrigerant item including a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner and dehumidifier, and a bag or can of leaves, grass or branches is priced separately. Each household is capped at two service fees and ten items a month, the service is prepaid with no refunds, and every item has to be light enough for two people to lift and carry.
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 Bismarck.
How much does mattress removal cost in Bismarck?+
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 Bismarck?+
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 Bismarck take a mattress?+
Yes, but not on the weekly garbage route, because box springs and mattresses are on the city's excluded list. They go through the prepaid bulk residential item collection, where a mattress, bed or box spring is a priced item added to the pickup service fee, with a maximum of five items per fee and ten items a month.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a large item in Bismarck?+
Through the prepaid bulk residential item collection, because appliances and electronics, box springs and mattresses, furniture, carpet, building material, concrete, dirt, rocks, sand, sod and trees are all excluded from the weekly can. The pickup service fee covers up to five items and each item carries its own disposal fee, with a mattress, sofa, television or treadmill at the lower tier and every refrigerant item priced higher. Book before the published deadline and have the items at the curb by 6:00 AM.Official guidance
What will Bismarck not take in the garbage can?+
Appliances and electronics, box springs and mattresses, building material, carpet, concrete, construction and remodeling debris, decks and fences, dirt, furniture items, hazardous waste, oil, propane tanks, rocks, sand, sod and trees are all excluded from the regular garbage route, and anything placed beside the can is left behind entirely. Construction material and hazardous waste go to the landfill instead, where construction and demolition debris is priced as inert waste and household hazardous waste and electronics are covered by a separate fee schedule.Official guidance
