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.

Mattresses and box springs are covered by the Green Guy annual fee waiver for city customers, and a curbside bulk pickup for them is not published, so ask Resource Recovery about the recycling option before setting a set out.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Green Guy Recycling waives its fee for one mattress and one box spring, or two mattresses or two box springs, each year for San Marcos residential garbage and multifamily recycling customers who show a city utility bill with the Recycling Center Fee in the owner's name, with the waivered items accepted only during business hours with an employee present.
When & how
Take the set to Green Guy Recycling at 937 Texas 80 during business hours with the utility bill and identification, or call Resource Recovery at 512.393.8412 to ask about the mattress recycling option before booking a bulk pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the set dry, bring the utility bill showing the Recycling Center Fee in the owner's name, and never leave a mattress at the drop-off outside business hours because that is treated as illegal dumping.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Marcos.
How much does mattress removal cost in San Marcos?+
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 San Marcos?+
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 can I take a mattress in San Marcos?+
Green Guy Recycling at 937 Texas 80 waives the fee for one mattress and one box spring, or two mattresses or two box springs, each year for San Marcos residential garbage customers who show a city utility bill with the Recycling Center Fee in the owner's name, and those items are only taken during business hours with an employee present to verify the bill. The city does not publish a curbside bulk pickup route for mattresses, so call Resource Recovery at 512.393.8412 to confirm whether a bulk pickup will take the set and to ask about the recycling option first.Official guidance
