A mattress is named on the city's list of items that can be scheduled as a large item, so it leaves on the same no-fee weekly large item collection as furniture. The county's small load drop-off also takes mattresses if the household would rather haul it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. York curbside customers booking the mattress inside the five item weekly large item allowance, where the city states there is no additional fee. A mattress taken to the county small load area instead is charged by weight with a minimum for the first 470 pounds.
When & how
Book the large item pickup seven to ten days ahead through the request form, then set the mattress out from 5 p.m. the night before the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the regular bags, count it as one of the five items in the weekly allowance, and note that the county charges a tonnage minimum if the mattress is dropped at the Resource Recovery Center instead.
Nothing large goes out until the pickup is confirmed
Submitting the large item request form does not schedule anything. The large item attendant calls back within 48 hours to fix the date, an email confirmation follows, and the pickup itself is set seven to ten days out. Items then sit with the normal trash, no earlier than 5 p.m. the night before and by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day, and calling before 3 p.m. on a Wednesday is what gets the collection into the following week's schedule.
Two collection days a week, with 32 gallon and 40 pound limits
York collects household trash twice a week. Bags and containers go to the pickup point after 5 p.m. the night before and by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and the city may allow a 5 a.m. start in extreme heat or winter weather. Trash goes in securely tied bags or in plastic or metal cans with a lid and handles, nothing bigger than 32 gallons or heavier than 40 pounds, and indoor kitchen or bathroom cans are not part of the programme.
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 York PA.
How much does mattress removal cost in York PA?+
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 York PA?+
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 York take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, as a scheduled large item. Mattresses are on the city's list of items that can be scheduled, the collection is part of the regular curbside service with no additional fee, and it has to be booked seven to ten days in advance. The county small load drop-off at the Resource Recovery Center also accepts mattresses.Official guidance
Who collects trash in York PA?+
ESC Waste Services holds the city's curbside contract from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030, and the city's Public Works department schedules large item collections on top of that service. The county is not a hauler: the York County Solid Waste Authority runs the disposal site and says plainly that it does not pick up garbage.Official guidance
How far ahead do I book a large item pickup?+
Seven to ten days. Submitting the request form does not schedule anything by itself, because the large item attendant calls back within 48 hours to fix the date and then emails a confirmation. Calling before 3 p.m. on a Wednesday is what gets the collection into the following week's schedule.Official guidance
