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.

Furniture goes out as household junk at the curb on the regular collection day, and the city confirms discarded household furniture is picked up on the garbage collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item charge for household junk and bills residential solid waste through its utility, with rate changes issued as utility rate adjustments rather than an item price. Confirm how the collection appears on your account with the Public Works Department on (423) 989-5567.
When & how
Put the piece at the curb on the regular collection day. Brush and bulk items do not need a request call and are picked up one to three business days after the trash service, with the weekly schedule sometimes slipping in peak season.
Get it ready
Place the junk neatly at the curb, keep it clear of the container and the sidewalk, and keep anything reusable out of the pile. Building material, dirt, rock, car parts and tires on rims are not part of this collection.
A mattress goes out as household junk on the regular collection day, with the city asking residents to check with Public Works if a crew declines the piece.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rate and bills solid waste through its utility, so confirm the collection and any charge with the Public Works Department at (423) 989-5567.
When & how
Set the mattress out with the rest of the household junk on the regular collection day rather than waiting for a separate appointment.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress neat and at the curb with the other junk. The city's junk page does not name mattresses individually, so ask Public Works if a crew leaves the piece behind.
City issued roll out containers go to the curb no earlier than noon on the day before collection and come back in by midnight of the collection day. The container has to be in plain view from the street, within three feet of the curb and at least two feet from other containers, mailboxes, utility poles and vehicles, and it must not block the sidewalk.
The city collects several kinds of solid waste on the collection day and asks residents to separate garbage, household junk, yard debris and leaves before setting them out. Household junk and bulk items sit at the curb as their own pile rather than inside the container.
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 Bristol Tennessee Public Works Solid Waste Section, with Sullivan County Solid Waste for transfer stations and hazardous waste
City curbside collection
Bristol Tennessee households putting out bagged refuse, household junk, furniture, appliances, brush and bulk items on the regular collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no per item price for household junk or brush and bulk collection and bills residential solid waste through its utility, with rate changes issued as utility rate adjustments. Confirm the charge with Public Works on (423) 989-5567.
Arrange it
Have the material at the curb on the regular collection day, with containers out no earlier than noon the day before and back in by midnight of the collection day, and with household junk separated from the garbage.
Tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt, rock and contractor material are not collected, and the city does not take hazardous or liquid waste at the curb.
Bristol Tennessee keeps nearly everything in its own weekly curbside collection: refuse, household junk, furniture, appliances, brush and bulk items all go out on the same day, and no request call is needed for the junk, brush or bulk. The exceptions are the items the city refuses, which are tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt, rock and contractor material, plus hazardous and liquid waste. Appliances and computers can also be taken to a Sullivan County transfer station, with the Bristol station at 804 Raytheon Road open 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and not closed for lunch, so confirm the days it is open on (423) 878-1880, and the county runs the household hazardous waste collection day for paint, chemicals and similar material. No fee is published on any of the pages read for this guide, so the packet asks residents to confirm charges with the city or the county before a trip.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bristol.
How much does mattress removal cost in Bristol?+
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 Bristol?+
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.
Do I have to call for a furniture pickup?+
No. The city states that citizens are not required to place a request call for brush and bulk collection, and that these items go out at the curb on the regular trash day and are collected one to three business days after the trash service.Official guidance
Will the city take a mattress at the curb?+
