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.

A mattress is named in the city's allowable bulk list, so it goes out through the same appointment with the two item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published, and the pickup is booked rather than automatic, so confirm the current terms with Public Works on 757-220-6140 when the appointment is made.
When & how
Book the bulk appointment by noon on the Thursday before the collection day and put the mattress at the curb before 7 a.m. on that day.
Get it ready
A mattress and its box spring count against the two large items allowed for that collection, so decide whether to send both at once. Keep the piece out of the garbage cart, because the automated truck only empties the cart.
Yard debris rides the garbage collection day in bags or bundles, and other large household items go through the three times a year bulk appointment.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the bulk collection or the yard debris service, so confirm the current terms with Public Works on 757-220-6140.
When & how
Yard debris goes out on the garbage collection day without an appointment. Large household items need the bulk appointment booked by noon on the Thursday before the collection day.
Get it ready
Yard debris is limited to ten bags of leaves or grass clippings or ten bundles of sticks and limbs, tied with twine or boxed, with sticks under four feet long and under three inches in diameter, and loose piles are not collected. Keep the bulk pile inside the two item limit and clear of anything the city refuses.
The garbage and recycling carts go to the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day, or the evening before, with the lids facing the street, and come back in after collection. Carts stay three feet apart and five feet from vehicles, trees, mailboxes, poles and fences, and go side by side rather than front to back.
Household bulk collection is by appointment only. The request has to be in by noon on the Thursday before the collection day, items go to the curb before 7 a.m. on that day, and each household is allowed two large items per collection and three collections a year.
Collection is automated and the crew does not leave the truck, so all garbage has to be inside the city cart. Items left beside the cart, including bagged extra garbage, are not collected.
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 curbside collection
City households with bagged garbage for the cart, recyclables for the blue cart and yard debris in bags or bundles.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate card for the weekly cart service, so confirm the current charge and account terms with Public Works on 757-220-6140.
Arrange it
Put the carts out before 7 a.m. on the Monday or Tuesday collection day with the lids facing the street, and put yard debris out in bags or bundles on the same day.
The truck is automated, so anything outside the cart is left behind, and the household bulk list refuses remodeling and building materials, car parts and toilets.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Williamsburg.
How much does mattress removal cost in Williamsburg?+
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 Williamsburg?+
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 the city take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, through the household bulk service, which names mattresses among the allowable items. It is collected by appointment, limited to two large items per collection and three collections a year, and booked by noon on the Thursday before the collection day.Official guidance
