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.

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.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Elyria picks up bulk or large items on the regular collection route, and the city defines them as large residential items that cannot fit in a city cart.
City cost & eligibility
Bulk items ride the regular collection and no per-item price is published, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile. Confirm the pile with the Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895.
When & how
Set the items out curbside with your regular collection, following the same after-5 p.m. and before-7 a.m. window as the carts.
Get it ready
Disassemble items as much as you can, remove every screw and nail, keep boxes and bags contained and under 50 pounds, cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than 4 feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic before it goes out.
A mattress is named in the city's bulk list, rides the regular collection and has to be wrapped in plastic before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress price is published and the piece rides the regular collection, though a large pile may carry an extra charge, so confirm the load on 440-322-3895. The county center will not take a mattress at all.
When & how
Put the wrapped mattress out with your regular collection in the usual curb-lawn window.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress in plastic, keep it dry and flat rather than propped up, and keep it clear of the carts and the street. Count a box spring as a second piece when you plan the pile.
Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out every screw and nail, and keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds. Cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than four feet, wrap a mattress in plastic, and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer. Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags the unit.
The carts and the bulk pile share one set-out window
Refuse may go on the curb lawn no sooner than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, because routes start at 7 a.m. and a late set-out may wait a week. Keep three feet of clearance around each cart, take the carts back off the tree lawn the same day, and put a bulk pile out with the same timing as the carts.
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.

Set bulk items out with your regular collection
An Elyria household with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other large item that will not fit in the city cart.
Cost & conditions
Bulk items ride the regular collection with no published per-item price, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile, so confirm the pile on 440-322-3895.
Arrange it
Put the prepared items on the curb lawn with the carts, after 5 p.m. the day before collection and before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags it, mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, and a load of construction or demolition debris is not part of the program.
Self-hauling in Elyria means two places. The Lorain County Collection Center at 540 South Abbe Road takes electronic scrap, household hazardous waste from residences, fluorescent bulbs and ballasts, tires up to a 20-inch rim, paper for shredding and extra recyclables, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with photo identification, and the county asks large loads to be booked on 440-329-5440. Everything else that is too big for a cart belongs on the city route: bulk items go out with the regular collection after they are disassembled, stripped of screws and nails, and prepared the way the city asks, with mattresses wrapped in plastic, carpet cut and tied, and no appliance that still holds refrigerant. Construction and demolition debris has no local route, because the city publishes none and the county refuses that material outright. Yard waste goes to the Barnes Materials compost facility at 45 Chestnut Street, which is free for Elyria residents.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elyria.
How much does mattress removal cost in Elyria?+
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 Elyria?+
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.
What are the bulk item rules in Elyria?+
Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out all screws and nails, keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds, cut and tie carpet into bundles no longer than four feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic. Everything goes to the curb with your regular collection, and a large pile may carry an extra charge.Official guidance
How does a mattress leave an Elyria home?+
On the regular collection route. Mattresses are in the city's bulk item list and must be wrapped in plastic before they go out, and the county Collection Center does not accept mattresses, so the curb is the local route unless the pile is large enough to draw an extra charge.Official guidance
Who do I call with a sanitation question in Elyria?+
The Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895 or sanitation@cityofelyria.org for carts, bulk items and collection questions, and the Lorain County Solid Waste District on 440-329-5440 for the Collection Center, including drop-off terms and appointments for a large load.Official guidance
