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.

Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

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.
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.
A mattress is one of the items the city names in its free large item pickup, so bedding leaves on the same appointment route as furniture. It is not collected with the regular refuse.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Erie residential refuse customers, with the mattress scheduled in advance and a six digit confirmation number obtained. The pickup is free and covers regular household items.
When & how
Call 814-870-1550 on a weekday between 08:30am and 04:30pm, or use the online form, and put the mattress curbside on the night of the scheduled collection.
Get it ready
Keep the piece dry and out of the refuse, count it against the three item online limit, and keep it clear of parked vehicles. Nothing may be set out more than 24 hours before the collection day, and an item set out without a confirmation number is treated as illegal dumping.
A large item is collected only when the resident schedules it on 814-870-1550 on a weekday between 08:30am and 04:30pm or through the online form for up to three items, and only after the six digit confirmation number arrives. The item goes curbside on the night of the scheduled collection, and setting anything out without a confirmation number or at another time is treated as illegal dumping and draws a citation.
The 24 hour curb window and clearance from vehicles
Regular refuse goes out in bags or cans, and nothing may be placed at the curb more than 24 hours before the collection day under the city code. Keep the pile away from parked vehicles and leave the collection crew enough room to work, because a blocked item is not collected and the city does not treat a missed pile as its own problem.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Erie.
How much does mattress removal cost in Erie?+
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 Erie?+
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 the city take a mattress?+
Yes. A mattress is named in the example list for the free large item pickup, so it is scheduled by phone or through the online form and placed curbside on the night of the collection. It cannot go out with the regular refuse, and it needs a confirmation number before it is set out.Official guidance
Who collects refuse in Erie?+
The City of Erie collects residential refuse itself, with household waste required in bags or cans at the curb no more than 24 hours before the collection day, and it runs a free large item pickup for its own refuse customers. City Hall answers on (814) 870-1234 and the Bureau of Refuse schedules pickups on 814-870-1550.Official guidance
