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.
Frame or adjustable base
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.

A mattress is the first item named on the Clifton bulk waste list and goes out on the first garbage day of the week within the two item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Clifton residences inside the twice weekly municipal garbage service, for a mattress set out after 6 PM the night before the first collection of the week and counted against the two item bulk limit.
When & how
Set the mattress out the night before your first garbage day of the week. Bulk waste is not collected on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, so the piece has to be ready for the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection.
Get it ready
Count the mattress and any box spring against the two item limit, keep the frame and headboard separate because they are different loads, and place the piece neatly at the curb rather than in the street or in front of a neighbour's property.
Twice a week, three containers, nothing before 6 PM
Clifton collects garbage twice a week across six days of collection, and the only day the city skips is Christmas Day. Each collection is limited to three barrels or securely tied plastic bags, and the containers cannot exceed 35 gallons. Everything goes neatly to the curb after 6 PM the night before, never into the street, and the empty receptacles come back in the same day and are stored out of sight behind the home. Dirt, stones, brick, concrete and hazardous waste are not allowed in the garbage, and collection questions go to 973-470-2239.
Bulk waste has one window a week and a two item ceiling
The bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, and the set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection. Clifton allows a maximum of two items on that first collection, lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied, and nothing goes out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A piece that misses the window waits for the following week.
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 Clifton.
How much does mattress removal cost in Clifton?+
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 Clifton?+
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 many mattresses will Clifton pick up?+
Two bulk items at most, and a mattress counts as one of them. Mattresses are the first item on the city bulk waste list, so the piece goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and Clifton will not take bulk waste on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A box spring would use the second item slot.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Clifton?+
The City of Clifton does, through its Recycling Division and Department of Public Works. Garbage is collected twice a week across six days of collection, with the only skipped holiday being Christmas Day, and each collection is capped at three barrels or tied bags in containers no larger than 35 gallons. The department is at 307 E 7th Street and answers collection questions on 973-470-2239, and the city also runs curbside recycling and the vegetative waste programme.Official guidance
Can bulk waste go out any day in Clifton?+
No. Bulk waste is collected on your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and the city will not take it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before, the limit is two items on that first collection only, and lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied.Official guidance
