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.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

Book first. Then get the mattress to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from there.
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.

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 the League City heavy trash list, which names dryers, freezers, furniture, refrigerators, stoves, toilets, washing machines and yard waste. Because the category is unnamed, the piece has to be confirmed rather than counted against the two item allowance.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rule or price is published, and the heavy trash service itself sits inside the residential contract, so confirm the piece with AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 or the City trash hotline on 281-554-1100 before setting it out.
When & how
Call first, and if the mattress is accepted put it out with the heavy trash by 7 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before, at least 4 feet from other objects.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the recycling cart, which takes the published paper, metal, glass and plastic streams only, and keep it clear of the yard waste pile, where bags and bundles are limited to six items per pickup. Anything that two people cannot safely lift is not collected.
League City's bulky route is called heavy trash and it runs on the collection days. A household may set out up to two heavy trash items per collection day, at the curb by 7 a.m., at least 4 feet from other objects and light enough for two people to lift.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Heavy trash is part of the AmeriWaste residential contract and carries no separate charge, with the residential garbage rate published at 21 dollars 69 cents a month including fees and sales tax since May 1, 2025. A scheduled pickup for qualifying debris in a purchased dumpster bag carries its own fee.
When & how
Trash runs twice a week by zone and heavy trash is serviced on the collection days. Everything goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before, and collection happens any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the load to two heavy trash items per collection day, stay at least 4 feet from other objects, and keep construction waste, computers, televisions, microwaves and car parts out of the pile because the City refuses them. Yard waste goes out separately under its own rules, bagged or bundled, capped at six items per pickup and never including tree trunks or root balls.
Two trash days by zone and a curb window that starts the night before
League City runs three trash zones: the yellow zone on Mondays and Thursdays, the green zone on Tuesdays and Fridays and the blue zone on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Cans go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before, and collection can happen any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., so the Town publishes a trash day rather than a trash time. Trash has to be inside a container of 55 gallons or less and everything inside the bin has to be bagged. Heavy trash is serviced on the collection days, and yard waste runs on both service days as well.
Heavy trash is the bulky route, and three numbers decide it. A household may place up to two heavy trash items at the curb per collection day. Each pile has to sit at least 4 feet from other objects so the truck can reach it. And nothing that cannot be safely lifted and placed on the truck by two people is accepted at all. Furniture, dryers, washing machines, stoves, toilets with the bowl and tank separated, refrigerators and freezers that have been drained of refrigerant, and yard waste are all on the list, while computers, televisions, microwaves, car parts and construction waste are refused.
The two streams that leave the curbside route entirely
Two groups never go out with the trash or the heavy trash. Electronics are hazardous under the City's rules, so televisions, computers and microwaves move through the household hazardous waste programme: a resident registers with AmeriWaste for one of four curbside pickups a year, restricted to televisions, electronics, microwaves and appliances, or takes the material to a spring or fall event at Hometown Heroes Park. Construction debris is the other exception, and it is the resident's own responsibility, because AmeriWaste does not collect it and the City requires it in roll-off containers disposed of at a Type IV landfill, with the AmeriWaste facility, nearby landfills and a fee-based dumpster bag pickup as the alternatives for smaller loads.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in League City.
How much does mattress removal cost in League City?+
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 League City?+
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 League City collect a mattress?+
A mattress is not named on the heavy trash list, which covers dryers, freezers, furniture, refrigerators, stoves, toilets, washing machines and yard waste, so confirm the piece with AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 before setting it out. If it is accepted it goes out with the heavy trash by 7 a.m. on the collection day, at least 4 feet from other objects, and it cannot be something that two people cannot lift.Official guidance
How much heavy trash can I set out in League City?+
Up to two heavy trash items per collection day, at the curb by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before, at least 4 feet from other objects and light enough for two people to lift. Furniture, dryers, washing machines, stoves, toilets, refrigerators and freezers are named on the list, with refrigerators and freezers conditional on the refrigerant being drained and tagged. Computers, televisions, microwaves, car parts and construction waste are refused.Official guidance
Who collects trash in League City?+
AmeriWaste League City, Inc. collects under contract with the City, serving more than 34,000 residential and commercial customers across three zones: yellow on Mondays and Thursdays, green on Tuesdays and Fridays and blue on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

What will League City not take at the curb?+
Computers, televisions and microwaves are refused because the City treats them as hazardous waste, along with car parts and materials and construction waste. Heavy trash also refuses anything that two people cannot safely lift, and a refrigerator or freezer is refused unless a licensed technician has drained the refrigerant and attached a tag carrying the licence number and date of service. Yard waste is refused unless it is bagged or bundled within the six item limit.Official guidance
