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.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.
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.
2
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.
3
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.

Mattresses are named on the city list of large items that are picked up weekly at the curb with no appointment, as long as they are set out on the normal collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no separate fee for a mattress set out on the normal collection day. Confirm with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311 if the mattress is part of a larger cleanout, which would need a Special Bulk Volume pickup instead.
When & how
Put the mattress out on your normal weekly collection day, three feet apart from the city cart and at the curb by 4:30 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the trash cart and away from the cart clearance, and keep it dry. Wrap or cover it only if you want to protect it in wet weather, and do not mix it into a pile of construction or demolition material.
Akron picks up furniture, dressers, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles such as carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing on the normal weekly collection day, with no appointment. Put the items at the curb by 4:30 a.m., at least three feet apart from the city cart and from anything else, and keep them out of the street and off the sidewalk.
A large amount of bags, boxes or trash after cleaning out a house, basement or garage, or after moving out, needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup. Each home is allowed three a year, the pickup has to be scheduled at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 or 330-375-2311, and nothing should go to the curb before 4:30 p.m. the day before.
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.

Weekly curbside large item collection
Furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles of carpet, wood, brush, branches or fencing from a one, two or three family home in Akron.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for large items set out on the normal collection day, and no appointment is needed. Confirm anything unusual with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the household's normal weekly collection day, at the curb by 4:30 a.m. and at least three feet from the city cart, which has to be out too because the city empties only its own carts.
Hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall and demolition or construction material are not permitted in the carts and are not part of this route. A large volume of bags or boxes rather than individual items needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup.

Special Bulk Volume pickup
A household clearing out a house, basement, garage or apartment with a large amount of bags, boxes or trash that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for a Special Bulk Volume pickup and allows three per home each year. Confirm the volume and timing with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Schedule at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 from a landline or 330-375-2311 from a cell phone, then put the material at the curb no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before the pickup.
Three pickups per home per year, and the material still cannot include hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall or demolition and construction debris.
Most of Akron's bulky material never leaves the neighbourhood: furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles go out on the normal weekly collection day three feet from the city cart, and a whole cleanout uses one of three Special Bulk Volume pickups a year booked a working day ahead. What has to be hauled is the material the city and ReWorks both refuse at the curb: household chemicals, which go to the seasonal ReWorks collection at 1201 Graham Road in Stow on Thursdays during its season, and scrap tires, which ReWorks says have no free disposal option and which go to a tire vendor. Electronics are refused at the hazardous waste collection and move through a ReWorks Recycling Days event or a private recycler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Akron.
How much does mattress removal cost in Akron?+
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 Akron?+
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 Akron pick up a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. Mattresses are named on the city's list of large items that are collected weekly at no appointment, along with furniture, dressers, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles. Set the mattress out on the normal collection day, three feet from the city cart.Official guidance
Do large items need an appointment in Akron?+
No. The city states that furniture, dressers, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles of carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing are collected weekly when they are set out on the normal collection day, three feet from the city cart. Only a large volume of bags, boxes or trash from a cleanout needs a booked Special Bulk Volume pickup, and each home gets three of those a year.Official guidance
