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.

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.

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.

Charleston collects bulk items, including white goods, on the regularly scheduled trash collection day rather than through a separate appointment, and the city asks for a call to Environmental Services before an entire household of items goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk items and white goods are part of the city's regularly scheduled residential collection and the city publishes no per-item fee for them. Material that the city will not take carries a county charge at the landfill scale instead.
When & how
On the regularly scheduled trash collection day, at the date and time the Environmental Services Division assigns.
Get it ready
Remove the doors and drawers from anything that has them, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed. Keep bulk items in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement, bag smaller household items such as dishes and clothing, and call 724-7364 before placing an entire household of items curbside.
A mattress is handled as a bulk item: it goes out in its own pile at the curb on the collection day rather than inside the garbage cart. The county also names mattresses in the zone that takes furniture, carpet and construction material at a staffed convenience center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress on the city bulk route carries no published city fee, and the county publishes no per-item charge for a resident dropping furniture or a mattress at a convenience center.
When & how
In the bulk pile on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, or at a county convenience center during staffed hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage cart and out of a yard waste pile, put it in the bulk pile at the curb, and keep it dry. Furniture and mattresses are named in the county zone for construction and demolition debris and bulk items, which is the alternative when the city route is not suitable.
Doors and drawers come off before a bulk item goes out
Bulk items and white goods go out in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the collection day, not mixed with bagged garbage. Doors and drawers have to be removed where they apply, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed, and the city asks for a call to 724-7364 before an entire household of items is placed out.
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.
City of Charleston Department of Public Service, Environmental Services Division
Bulk and white goods on the scheduled trash day
A household with a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator, a water heater or another large piece that the garbage cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk items and white goods are part of the city's regularly scheduled residential collection and the city publishes no per-item fee for them. The city does publish charges for an extra garbage cart.
Arrange it
Set the bulk items in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, with doors and drawers removed, and call 724-7364 before an entire household of items goes out.
One collection day a week, no doors or drawers left on white goods, and refused material such as tires, paint, batteries, concrete, carpet and construction or renovation debris has to go to a county site.
City of Charleston Department of Public Service, Environmental Services Division
Take the load to a county convenience center
A household with electronics, appliances, tires, paint, batteries, furniture, a mattress or construction debris that the city route will not take.
Cost & conditions
The county lists what residents may bring to a staffed convenience center but publishes no per-item charge for the drop-off, while the Bees Ferry Landfill scale charges $100 per ton for municipal solid waste and $150 per ton for tires, so confirm the current position on 843-720-7111.
Arrange it
Take the separated load to a staffed Charleston County convenience center during its hours, with rims removed from tires and tanks emptied and left with staff, and check in at the site.
Charleston County residents only, a maximum of four tires with rims removed and no commercial tires, electronics limited to household computers, monitors, printers and televisions, Signal Point Road takes no household garbage, yard waste, construction debris, scrap metal, appliances or propane tanks, and the construction zone refuses bricks, cement, shingles and stucco.
Most self-haul loads from Charleston go to a Charleston County convenience center, where staffed sites take, from county residents, household garbage, recyclables, household computers, monitors, printers and televisions, paint, batteries, light bulbs, motor oil and cooking oil, scrap metal and appliances such as refrigerators, up to four tires with rims removed, construction and demolition debris with furniture, carpet, mattresses, sheetrock and wood under four feet, and household hazardous material, with used gasoline only at the Bees Ferry center. The county's own zone rules refuse bricks, cement, stucco, shingles, tires inside the construction zone, boats, cars and hazardous waste there, and the Signal Point Road site is not full service. Behind the centers is the Bees Ferry Road Landfill at the same address, where the scale charges municipal solid waste by the ton and tires by the ton and refuses construction and demolition waste from private or commercial haulers, and yard waste goes to the compost facility next door. The city route stays the cheaper option for a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator or a pile of household junk, because those ride the regular trash collection day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Charleston.
How much does mattress removal cost in Charleston?+
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 Charleston?+
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.
Does Charleston pick up bulk items on a special day?+
No. The city collects bulk items, including white goods, on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, at the date and time the Environmental Services Division assigns. Doors and drawers have to be removed where they apply, the pile goes at the curb or the edge of the pavement, and the city asks for a call to 724-7364 before an entire household of items is placed out.Official guidance
How does Charleston handle an old mattress?+
As a bulk item on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, set in its own pile at the curb with the smaller household items bagged separately. Keep it out of the garbage cart and out of a yard waste pile. If you would rather haul it yourself, mattresses are named in the county zone that accepts furniture, carpet and construction material at a staffed convenience center.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and trash in Charleston?+
The City of Charleston Environmental Services Division runs curbside garbage once a week, trash and yard waste once a week on a separate pile, and the bulk and white goods stream on the regularly scheduled trash collection day. The county does not collect garbage at all: it runs the landfill, the convenience centers and the hazardous waste programme. City service questions go to Citizen Services at 843-724-7311, and bulk scheduling questions go to 724-7364.Official guidance
What will Charleston not take at the curb?+
Hazardous waste such as paint, auto fluids, batteries and pool chemicals, along with concrete, dirt, sod, sand, plaster, carpet, construction and renovation debris, tires and hot ashes, are not single-family curbside waste. Electronics are refused as well, and paint cans are accepted only when the paint is completely dry inside the can. Those items go to a staffed Charleston County convenience center instead.Official guidance
How is yard waste set out in Charleston?+
Leaves, twigs, weeds and grass clippings go in brown paper bags that the resident provides, and tree limbs and stumps are cut to four foot lengths and four inch diameter and stacked clear of obstructions. Trash may go out no earlier than two days before the scheduled pickup, household garbage may not be mixed into a yard waste pile, and a landscaper's debris stays the landscaper's responsibility.Official guidance
