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.

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.
2
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.
Bulk waste is collected twice a month on a designated Monday, and which Mondays applies depends on the normal trash day: a Tuesday or Wednesday household gets the first and third Mondays, and a Thursday or Friday household gets the second and fourth. The load is limited to four cubic yards.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk pickup is part of the residential collection the household already pays for through the city contract with Republic Services and no per-item fee is published for it. A roll-off container for a project is a quoted service instead.
When & how
Twice a month on the designated Monday, with items placed in the normal collection area.
Get it ready
Cut wooden items and carpet into four foot lengths or less, cut cabinets and hot tubs in half, and cut fence panels in half. Bag and tie loose material in bags of 50 pounds or less, drain appliances that hold water, and remove the oil and gas from a mower before it goes out.
A mattress is not named on either list in The Colony's service guide: furniture sits on the acceptable bulk list and mattresses are not named among the refused items, so a mattress is an unlisted piece rather than a settled one.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress is named on the city's bulk lists and no mattress fee is published, so confirm acceptance and any charge with the city at 972-624-3131 before the bulk Monday.
When & how
Confirm the item with the contractor before the designated bulk Monday, then set it out in the normal collection area if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Call the city at 972-624-3131, describe the mattress and box spring, and keep them out of the green cart and the blue cart while the answer is pending. If they go out, keep the load inside the four cubic yard limit and bag and tie anything loose.
Bulk pickup runs twice a month on a Monday set by the household trash day: Tuesday and Wednesday routes use the first and third Mondays, and Thursday and Friday routes use the second and fourth Mondays. Items go in the normal collection area and the load is limited to four cubic yards.
Carts closed, three feet clear, nothing beside them
Carts go out by 7 a.m. on the collection day at the alley edge or driveway flares with the lids fully closed, at least three feet from the nearest object. All trash has to be inside the cart, because bags, boxes and other carts are not picked up, and green waste goes out in paper lawn bags or the household's own container with no plastic bags.
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 The Colony Environmental Services Division, contracting Republic Services
Use the twice monthly bulk Monday
A household with a couch, carpet, an appliance, a water heater, a grill, a mower or extra bags of trash that the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk pickup is part of the residential collection the household already pays for through the city contract and no per-item fee is published for it.
Arrange it
Set the material out on the designated Monday for your trash day, in the normal collection area, with the load kept inside four cubic yards and loose items bagged and tied.
Four cubic yards per collection, two collections a month, and no hazardous liquids, large metal objects, big construction debris, tires, televisions or steel and fence posts. Freon units need a technician's paperwork attached.
Self-hauling in The Colony runs through the city's own drop-off programme. The household hazardous waste site at 5576 N. Colony Blvd, in the parking lot east of Fire Station #2, takes electronics including televisions of all sizes, household chemicals, oil based paints, solvents, gasoline in a five gallon container, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, medications and sharps, and it opens three times a month with a Texas driver's licence and a current utility bill needed at the gate. Oil, antifreeze, car batteries and tires may also be taken to the city maintenance drop-off at 1 Harris Plaza, Suite 2, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A household with an active water account can ask City Hall for a landfill pass that allows one trip into the Camelot Landfill, and construction and demolition loads are refused in the bulk pile, so they go into a roll-off container reserved through the contractor. The curbside bulk Monday remains the cheapest route for furniture, appliances, carpet and extra bags of trash.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in The Colony.
How much does mattress removal cost in The Colony?+
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 The Colony?+
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.
Which Monday is bulk pickup in The Colony?+
It depends on your normal trash day. A household whose trash day is Tuesday or Wednesday has bulk pickup on the first and third Mondays of the month, and a household whose trash day is Thursday or Friday has it on the second and fourth Mondays. The load is limited to four cubic yards and goes in your normal collection area.Official guidance
Will The Colony take a mattress as bulk?+
A mattress is not named on the acceptable bulk list, which covers furniture, appliances, water heaters, grills, cut fence panels, carpet and lawn mowers, and it is not named among the refused items either. Treat it as an unlisted piece: call the city at 972-624-3131 and confirm it before the designated bulk Monday, because the load is limited to four cubic yards.Official guidance
How often is bulk pickup in The Colony?+
Twice a month on a designated Monday. A household whose trash day is Tuesday or Wednesday has bulk pickup on the first and third Mondays, and a household whose trash day is Thursday or Friday has it on the second and fourth Mondays. The load is limited to four cubic yards and goes in your normal collection area.Official guidance
How is green waste set out in The Colony?+
Green waste is collected every Monday, with no plastic bags allowed.

Household trash, dirt, oil, sod and pet waste are not accepted in green waste.Official guidance
