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.

Metal items and the larger household pieces have to be scheduled with Public Works before they go to the curb, and the price depends on the item.
City cost & eligibility
The city prices bulky collection by item: furniture pieces such as love seats, couches, sectionals, kitchen tables and up to six chairs are $10 each, refrigerators, freezers, mattresses and box springs are $16 each, and stoves, washers, dryers, water coolers, metal and televisions are listed at no charge, with each air conditioner past the yearly limit at $16. Confirm your specific load on 401-728-0500 ext. 233.
When & how
Call Public Works on 401-728-0500 ext. 233 and book the collection before the item goes outside. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week.
Get it ready
Describe each piece when you call, keep the load inside the three-piece weekly limit, and keep the items clear of the barrels and the street. Construction material, propane tanks and automobile parts never go out with a scheduled bulky pickup.
A mattress or box spring is collected on the scheduled route for a published charge, and a recyclable piece can be dropped free at the Transfer Station or at the city's monthly event.
City cost & eligibility
From $16 for the scheduled curbside collection charge for a mattress or box spring, listed at $16 each, with the Transfer Station taking recyclable mattresses and box springs at no charge up to three pieces a day and charging $25 for each non-recyclable piece. Pawtucket properties served by city collection, with the pickup scheduled on 401-728-0500 ext. 233, or a resident bringing the piece to the Transfer Station with a license showing a city address.
When & how
Schedule the curbside pickup before the piece goes out, or take it to the Transfer Station Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The free monthly drop-off runs on the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the lot across from City Hall.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and, at the Transfer Station, tie or roll it so it can be handled. Ask whether the piece counts as recyclable when you call, because the station charges only for the non-recyclable kind, and keep the mattress out of the refuse barrel.
Metal items, furniture, mattresses, box springs, appliances and televisions are only collected once they are scheduled with Public Works on 401-728-0500 ext. 233. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week, the larger pieces carry a published price, and everything else that will not fit a barrel can be taken to the Transfer Station with proof of Pawtucket residency.
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.

A household with a recyclable mattress or box spring, or with computers and electronics that it would rather drop off than schedule.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tuff Stuff Recycling on Walcott Street takes recyclable mattresses and box springs free during its weekday hours with a maximum of eleven pieces per drop-off, and the city lists Green Tech Assets on Central Avenue for e-waste without publishing a fee there.

Pawtucket residents have two self-haul routes and one state route. The Transfer Station at 240 Grotto Avenue takes household bags, rugs, yard waste, cardboard, tires, white metal, air conditioners, mattresses, propane and motor oil from residents who show a city-address license, and it books bulky items, refrigerators and freezers, furniture, televisions and metal by appointment, but it refuses construction and commercial waste. A recyclable mattress or box spring can also be dropped free at the city's monthly event on the first Saturday, in the lot across from City Hall, or free at Tuff Stuff Recycling on Walcott Street, and electronics go to that event or to Green Tech Assets on Central Avenue. Construction material has no city route at all, so it goes to the state resource recovery campus on Shun Pike in Johnston, where the city prints a construction line and fees may apply.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pawtucket.
How much does mattress removal cost in Pawtucket?+
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 Pawtucket?+
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.
How do I schedule a bulky pickup in Pawtucket?+
Call Public Works on 401-728-0500 ext. 233 before the item goes to the curb, because metal items, furniture, mattresses, appliances and televisions are only collected once they are scheduled. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week, and the city publishes an item price for the larger pieces.Official guidance
Where does a Pawtucket mattress go?+
A scheduled curbside pickup carries a published per-piece charge, and a recyclable mattress or box spring can be dropped free at the Transfer Station, at the city's monthly event on the first Saturday of the month, or at Tuff Stuff Recycling on Walcott Street. The Transfer Station charges for a non-recyclable piece, so ask when you call.Official guidance
How do I schedule furniture, a mattress or an appliance pickup?+
Call Public Works at 401-728-0500 ext. 233 and schedule it before the item goes outside, because these items are not collected unscheduled. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week with a published charge on the larger pieces, mattresses and box springs and refrigerators and freezers sit on their own priced lines, and stoves, washers, dryers, water coolers, air conditioners within the yearly limit, metal and televisions are collected at no charge on the same route.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to the Grotto Avenue station?+
Yes, if you live in Pawtucket and show a license with a city address. The station at 240 Grotto Avenue is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed on holidays and during parking bans, takes cash on site with card payments prepaid online, prices loads by vehicle and item, and refuses construction and commercial waste.Official guidance
