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.

Bulky items are normal household items that will not fit in a trash cart, and they are scheduled rather than set out on demand. Up to two bulky items a week are free, extra items cost a set amount each, and material beyond what was scheduled is charged by volume.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Denton residential addresses, up to two scheduled bulky items each week. Additional items are charged at $5 each, and material left at the curb beyond what was scheduled is charged at the residential remodeling rate of $25 per cubic yard.
When & how
Call Customer Service at 940-349-8700 at least one business day before the collection day, or submit the residential self-service form before 3 p.m. one business day before, and set the items out on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep each item to household material that the crew can handle, leave construction, remodeling and bagged trash out of the free bulky service, and place the items at the curb with the wheels-to-curb spacing and clearances the City code requires.
A mattress or box spring is an ordinary household bulky item in Denton, so it is collected through the scheduled bulky service and uses one of the two free items allowed each week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Denton residential addresses, within the free allowance of up to two scheduled bulky items each week, with additional items charged at $5 each.
When & how
Book the pickup at least one business day ahead by calling 940-349-8700 or through the self-service form before 3 p.m., and set the mattress out on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the way of mailboxes, parked cars and other obstacles, because the City code requires 4 feet of clearance at the collection point.
Carts, bulky items, brush and yard waste go at the curb with wheels resting against the curb and at least 4 feet from any mailbox, vehicle, container or other obstacle, no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before pickup and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day. Everything comes off the curb by 8 a.m. the next day and stays out of public view when it is not collected.
Bulky collection is booked at least one business day ahead by calling 940-349-8700 or through the residential self-service form before 3 p.m. Up to two items a week are free, extra items carry an additional item charge, and material left beyond the scheduled load is billed at the City's residential remodeling rate by volume.
The blue recycling cart takes loose, unbagged material that is empty, clean and dry, and the green refuse cart holds bagged household trash with the lid closed. Extra bags left outside the cart are charged per bag, and boxes full of trash are billed by volume.
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.
Households with a couch, mattress, appliance, exercise machine or other household item that will not fit in the refuse cart.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call Customer Service at 940-349-8700 at least one business day before the collection day, or submit the residential self-service form before 3 p.m. one business day ahead, then set the items at the curb on the scheduled day.

Households hauling their own household material, including oversized bulky items that are easier to move than to schedule.
Cost & conditions
The landfill publishes its disposal rates in the Solid Waste and Recycling Utility Rate Book rather than on the page, and the document could not be read from this network, so confirm the current gate rate with Customer Service at 940-349-8700 before loading.
Arrange it
Take the load to the landfill at 1527 S. Mayhill Rd., open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Every vehicle stops at the weigh station, which takes credit cards, debit cards and tap to pay, and the resident gate rate requires the City of Denton utility bill and a driver license.
Loads must be tarped or tied down, and an unsecured load carries an escalating charge that rises after the first offense. Exiting after closing time adds an after-closing fee, and vehicles arriving after 3:45 p.m. must pay it in advance. Liquids including paint, batteries, tires and hazardous, biohazardous or radioactive waste are prohibited.
Denton's self-haul route is its own landfill at 1527 S. Mayhill Rd., open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the gate rate depends on the load and is published in the City's rate book, so confirm it with Customer Service at 940-349-8700. A driver license or state identification is required, the resident rate needs the City of Denton utility bill and driver license together, loads must be tarped or tied down, and the weigh station takes cards and tap to pay but no cash. The landfill prohibits all liquids including paint, batteries, tires, and hazardous, biohazardous and radioactive waste, and vehicles arriving after 3:45 p.m. must pay the City's after-closing fee in advance. Household chemicals go instead to the home chemical building at the same address, Building 300, open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for residents, with a 10 gallon liquid or 50 pound dry limit per collection and a free ReUse Store for still-usable material.

All liquids including paint, batteries, tires, and hazardous, biohazardous and radioactive waste are prohibited.

Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Disposal rates are published in the City's Solid Waste and Recycling Utility Rate Book, which could not be read from this network, so confirm the current gate rate with Customer Service at 940-349-8700 before loading a vehicle. The landfill also publishes a $120 after-closing fee, a $25 charge for an unsecured load on the first offense and $30 afterward, all of which sit on top of the gate rate.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Denton.
How much does mattress removal cost in Denton?+
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 Denton?+
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.
