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.

The Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days and is being re-evaluated, and during the suspension bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No additional cost during the suspension for a city household putting bulk items out on its regularly scheduled garbage day. The programme itself is suspended rather than cancelled and is being re-evaluated, so confirm the current position with the department at 518-382-5144.
When & how
Put the items out on the regularly scheduled garbage day, because the separate bulk sticker collection is not running while the programme is suspended.
Get it ready
Keep the items to the bulk categories the city names, which are furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs, and keep them out of the recycling container. Keep construction and demolition material out entirely, because the city refuses it in the yard waste stream and publishes no collection route for it.
Mattresses and bed frames are named in the suspension notice as bulk items allowed at the curb on the regular garbage day at no additional cost.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No additional cost during the suspension for a city household putting a mattress or bed frame out on its regularly scheduled garbage day.
When & how
Put the mattress out on the regular garbage day for the district while the bulk programme is suspended.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and at the curb for the regular collection day, and keep it out of the recycling container. Because the bulk programme is under review, call 518-382-5144 if you need to confirm the current arrangement.
Bulk items ride the regular garbage day while the programme is suspended
The Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days and is being re-evaluated, and during the suspension residents may place bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out for collection on their regularly scheduled garbage day at no additional cost.

Use the regular garbage day for bulk items
A Schenectady household with furniture, a mattress, a bed frame or chairs to put out while the bulk programme is suspended.
Cost & conditions
No charge. No additional cost during the suspension for a city household putting the named bulk items out on the regularly scheduled garbage day.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb on the regular garbage day for the district and confirm the current suspension status on 518-382-5144 if needed.
The programme is suspended rather than cancelled and is being re-evaluated, and appliances are excluded from this allowance because they wait for the red calendar dates.
Self haul in Schenectady runs through the city collection and the county programme. The Bulk Waste Pickup Program is suspended after the March 20, 2026 Council vote, and during the suspension furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost, while appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators are collected only on the dates printed in red on the waste collection calendar. Yard waste goes out on the regular garbage day from April through November in 30 gallon brown paper bags, with no plastic bags or bins and no construction or demolition material. Single stream recycling takes paper, plastic, aluminium and glass in a container of 40 gallons or less with two stickers from City Hall Room 9. Household chemicals labelled flammable, toxic, corrosive or reactive go to the Schenectady County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program on (518) 388-4775 or recycling@schenectadycountyny.gov, which is for county residents, needs registration and requires a composting facility and Resident Recycling Center permit to register. The city publishes no electronics, television or construction collection and no drop-off for either, so those have to be confirmed with Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection at 518-382-5144, at 105 Jay Street Room 9.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Schenectady.
How much does mattress removal cost in Schenectady?+
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 Schenectady?+
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.
Is bulk pickup still suspended in Schenectady?+
The city's notice states that on March 20, 2026 the Council voted to suspend the Bulk Waste Pickup Program for 90 days, after which it would be re-evaluated and either reinstated or the suspension extended. During the suspension, residents may put bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out on their regular garbage day at no additional cost, and the department on 518-382-5144 can confirm whether the suspension has since been extended.Official guidance
Where does a mattress go in Schenectady?+
Out with the regular garbage while the bulk programme is suspended. The city's March 2026 notice names mattresses and bed frames among the bulk items residents may place at the curb on their regularly scheduled garbage day at no additional cost, so a mattress does not need a separate bulk sticker during the suspension.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Schenectady?+
The city does, through the Department of General Services and its Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection office at 105 Jay Street Room 9 on 518-382-5144. Collection runs on a district schedule, so call that number to find out which of the five districts the address is in, and recycling runs as a single stream collection on the same route.Official guidance
What is happening with bulk waste collection in Schenectady?+
The Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days, after which the Council said it would be re-evaluated and either reinstated or the suspension extended. While it is suspended residents may put bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out on their regular garbage day at no additional cost, and appliances are unchanged because they are collected only on the red dates on the collection calendar.Official guidance
