Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Scappoose.
How much does mattress removal cost in Scappoose?+
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 Scappoose?+
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.
When can I recycle a mattress in Columbia County?+
The Mattress Recycling Council runs free events at the Columbia County Transfer Station at 1601 Railroad Ave. in St. Helens on March 14, June 13, September 12 and November 14 from 8 a.m. to noon. Mattresses including foam and box springs that are stationary or adjustable are accepted in any size or condition, up to five units per county resident, while toppers, air mattresses, crib mattresses, waterbeds, futons, sofas, pullout couches and furniture are refused.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Scappoose, Oregon?+
Columbia County administers the franchise agreements for collection and names two providers, Hudson Garbage doing business as Waste Connections and WM, so a household identifies its provider on the county's residential map and calls that company. Hudson Garbage is at 2115 Gable Rd. in St. Helens on 503-397-1534, and the county's solid waste division runs the transfer station and recycling drop-offs that also serve the city.Official guidance
How do I recycle a mattress or a television in Scappoose?+
Mattresses and box springs go to the free Mattress Recycling Council events at the Columbia County Transfer Station on March 14, June 13, September 12 and November 14 from 8 a.m. to noon, up to five units per resident, and a television goes to a free electronics drop-off such as the Goodwill in Scappoose at 51651 SE Second Street, open Monday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., because Oregon law bans e-waste from the trash.Official guidance
