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 or box spring is named on the city large item list and rides the same volume based collection, with no separate mattress rate published.
City cost & eligibility
$50 for for the first eight cubic yards of a booked large item collection, with each additional cubic yard charged at the published rate beyond that and tax added to all charges. City of Santa Fe residential Public Utilities customers whose account is not more than thirty days delinquent, with the collection booked at 505-955-2200; mattresses can also travel as weighed trash at the county facility instead.
When & how
Call 505-955-2200 to book the next available collection slot, with no same-day service, and have the mattress at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated day. A household that hauls its own load can instead take the mattress to the Buckman Road transfer station, where trash is charged by vehicle weight.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and whole, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces, and stand the mattress clear of carts, mailboxes and driveways. Do not put a mattress in a recycling cart or a drop-off recycling container, because those containers take only the listed recyclables.
Large item material goes out only on the day it is booked
A large item collection is ordered at 505-955-2200, scheduled for the next available slot with no same-day service, and collected on a designated day, so the material sits at the curb by 7:00 a.m. that morning and not before. Loose debris, plywood, boards, sheet rock and broken tile are containerized or bundled under 50 pounds, sharp objects go in a separate labelled box, and the pile stays three to five feet clear of carts, mailboxes, fences, walls, meters and parked cars.
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.

No same-day service, and an account more than thirty days delinquent is not eligible.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santa Fe.
How much does mattress removal cost in Santa Fe?+
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 Santa Fe?+
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 Santa Fe collect a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, through the booked large item collection. A mattress and box spring are both on the city list, so they are added to a special pickup ordered at 505-955-2200, charged by the eight cubic yard volume along with anything else on the same load, and set at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated day. Nothing is collected the same day it is ordered, and a load over eight cubic yards is assessed for an extra fee the Monday of the collection week.Official guidance
How do I book a large item pickup in Santa Fe?+
Call the Environmental Services Division at 505-955-2200 and take the next available slot, because no same-day service is offered. The collection is charged by volume for the first eight cubic yards with each additional cubic yard charged after that and tax added, an account more than thirty days delinquent is not eligible, and a load larger than eight cubic yards is assessed and confirmed before it is collected. Items go to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated day, and cancelling without one city working day of notice is charged as if the collection happened.Official guidance
