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.

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

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 or box spring is named as a bulk household item for a Chesapeake curbside request, and the same item is acceptable household waste at an SPSA transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residence served by the City of Chesapeake Waste Management Division for a curbside request, or an SPSA service area resident with proof of residency within the first 12 residential visits each calendar year.
When & how
Request the curbside pickup by phone or online, or take the mattress to the SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station during residential hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry and free of other trash. The household pile is capped at one 4-foot by 4-foot by 10-foot stack per residence per week and has to stay separate from yard debris.
Request the collection before anything goes out, keep household items in a pile separate from yard debris, and stay inside one 4-foot by 4-foot by 10-foot household stack per week. Tape glass surfaces, remove refrigerator and freezer doors, and leave small debris that fits a bag to the resident after the truck has passed.
Bring proof of residency and a personal vehicle or a trailer up to 12 feet with no tools or equipment. Loose yard waste has to be bagged, rigid items must be no longer than 6 feet and 6 inches in diameter, and the load is screened for unauthorized waste at the station.
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 Chesapeake.
How much does mattress removal cost in Chesapeake?+
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 Chesapeake?+
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 Chesapeake take an old mattress at the curb?+
Yes, at a residence the City Waste Management Division serves. A mattress and box spring count as bulk household items, so request the collection before the set-out date, keep the pile within the weekly size limit, and keep it separate from yard debris. SPSA transfer stations also accept mattresses from service area residents with proof of residency.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of a large item in Chesapeake?+
The City of Chesapeake publishes no per-item charge for a household bulk collection from a residence it serves, and each household is limited to 12 bulk collections a year. The SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station also takes household waste from residents at no charge for the first 12 visits each calendar year, and later visits are billed by weight at the station's published disposal rate.Official guidance
Why does a Chesapeake pickup depend on which program serves the address?+
Chesapeake is an independent city, and the City Waste Management Division collects from the residences it serves rather than from a surrounding county. A residence outside that service area, or a building whose waste is handled privately, has to use the SPSA transfer stations instead, and those sites serve member-community residents with proof of residency.Official guidance
