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.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.
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.
2
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 not named on any city page, so the yard trimmings route has to confirm it.
City cost & eligibility
The city names furniture, clothing and rigid plastics on the yard trimmings bulk stream and does not name a mattress, and it publishes no mattress programme or fee, so call Solid Waste at 803-545-3800 and confirm whether the piece goes out with the yard trimmings or needs another route.
When & how
Call 803-545-3800 before the mattress goes out, and then place it with the yard trimmings on the collection day if the city confirms it.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the roll cart, keep it separate from grass clippings and leaves, and keep it dry until the collection day.
The roll cart is weekly, for household garbage only, and comes off the curb by 7:30 p.m.
Roll carts are serviced weekly and are for household garbage only, and the city collects only from the containers it furnishes, not from personal containers. The ordinance requires carts to be removed from the curb no later than 7:30 p.m. on the day of collection, and carts should sit three feet from trees, mailboxes, vehicles and the recycling cart because the fleet is a mix of automated and semi-automated trucks.
Yard trimmings and bulk items are one separate stream, with building material charged
Yard trimmings combine grass clippings, leaves, sticks, bulk items such as furniture, clothing and rigid plastics, and building material that is subject to a charge. Loose or bagged leaves and branches under six feet are accepted, bricks, concrete and other building material must be separated from yard waste, tree removal and lot clearing are also charged, and yard trimmings and bulk items stay out of the roll cart.
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.

Use the city roll cart and yard trimmings collection
A household inside the Columbia city limits with weekly garbage and a separate yard trimmings or bulky set-out.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no collection rate for the roll cart or yard trimmings service, so confirm any charge and the eligibility question with the Solid Waste Division at 803-545-3800.
Arrange it
Put the roll cart out for the weekly collection, keep yard trimmings and bulk items in their own pile, keep carts three feet from obstacles, and bring the cart in by 7:30 p.m. on collection day.
The city collects only from its own containers, the cart is for household garbage only, building material, tree removal and lot clearing carry a charge, and the office at 2910 Colonial Drive answers questions Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Columbia.
How much does mattress removal cost in Columbia?+
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 Columbia?+
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.
Where does a Columbia mattress go?+
Mattresses are not named on the city's yard trimmings bulk list, which covers furniture, clothing and rigid plastics, and no mattress programme or fee is published, so call Solid Waste at 803-545-3800 and confirm whether the piece rides the yard trimmings stream before putting it out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Columbia?+
The City of Columbia Solid Waste and Recycling Division, which collects garbage, recycling and yard waste inside the corporate city limits from 2910 Colonial Drive and also runs litter collection, street sweeping and special events. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the superintendent Samantha Yager at 803-545-3800 or sanitation@columbiasc.gov, and the roll cart service is weekly for household garbage only.Official guidance
