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.

A mattress falls under the heavy trash definition of items that are not household garbage, so it goes out with the heavy trash pile.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published and the heavy trash service carries no published charge, so call Public Works at 281-471-9650 if the set is unusual or oversized relative to the 10 cubic yard pile limit.
When & how
Put the set behind the curb in front of the home by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled heavy trash day for the zone, no earlier than five days before, and keep it separate from brush and yard waste.
Get it ready
Keep the set inside the 10 cubic yard pile limit, keep it clear of fences, mailboxes and low limbs, and keep it out of the household garbage bags because only bagged household waste goes out on the twice weekly garbage route.
A heavy trash pile may not exceed 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as about 6 feet wide by 6 feet high by 8 feet long. If a pile is larger the city collects only 10 cubic yards and leaves the remainder, which can put the resident in violation for early set out, so the excess has to wait for the next scheduled collection or go to a private contractor at the resident's expense.
Heavy trash goes behind the curb rather than in the street, in front of the resident's own property and not across the street or in front of a neighbor, away from fences, mailboxes, low wires and low limbs, out by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled collection day and no earlier than five days before. The city is divided into six zones, the truck makes a single pass in the two day window, brush and yard waste stay separate from appliances and furniture, small items go in bags or boxes, and a refrigerator or freezer has to be empty with the doors removed or tied shut.
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 La Porte Public Works Solid Waste Division
Use the city garbage and heavy trash collection
A La Porte household with bagged household garbage and a heavy trash pile of furniture, appliances, brush or building debris.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no collection rate for either route, and the only published charge tied to the service is the 7.22 dollar additional roll of garbage bags from Utility Billing, so confirm any service question at 281-471-9650.
Arrange it
Put bagged garbage out by 7 a.m. on the Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday cycle, check the heavy trash zone and dates on the published 2026 map, and place the heavy trash pile behind the curb by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone.
The garbage bags cannot exceed 40 pounds, the heavy trash pile cannot exceed 10 cubic yards, the truck makes one pass, and rocks, bricks, ceramic tile, concrete, dirt, ashes, paint and hazardous materials are refused at the curb.
La Porte households put bagged household garbage out twice a week on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, with no bag over 40 pounds, and everything else goes on the heavy trash pile by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone, inside the 10 cubic yard limit and no earlier than five days before. Because there is no curbside recycling, recyclables, electronics, rechargeable and automotive batteries, dry hardened paint cans, light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, cooking oil and antifreeze go to the Recycle Center at 12201 N. C St., brush and yard waste can be dropped at Public Works at 2963 N 23rd Street after signing in, and the city household hazardous waste event takes materials such as large tires, appliances, flammables and gas cylinders that the center refuses.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in La Porte.
How much does mattress removal cost in La Porte?+
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 La Porte?+
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.
Will La Porte take a mattress?+
Yes. The heavy trash collection covers any item that is not classified as household garbage, so a mattress goes out with the heavy trash pile behind the curb in front of the home by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone, no earlier than five days before, and inside the 10 cubic yard limit. Household garbage itself has to be bagged and cannot weigh more than 40 pounds, so bulky items never go in the garbage bags.Official guidance
