A mattress is named on the bulky item list and is also one of the materials the city's thirty dollar recycling vouchers cover at the Shoreline transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Bothell residential customers, through one of the two free bulky item pickups allowed each year; the alternative is a thirty dollar recycling voucher covering mattresses and box springs at the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station, with two vouchers per household a year while supplies last.
When & how
Book a bulky item pickup with Recology, or request a recycling voucher from the city and take the mattress and box spring to the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station at 2300 N 165th St., which opens Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces, and request the voucher by November 1 with use by November 30 if the household is going to self haul, because the programme runs from January 1 to November 30 each year.
Recology collects garbage, recycling and organics for every City of Bothell customer, and the city's own rules are mostly about preparation. Recyclables have to be empty, clean and dry, with jars and bottles rinsed and the blue cart lid closed so paper stays dry, and nothing may be bagged because loose plastic bags jam the sorting machinery. The compost cart takes meat, bones and shells, dairy and eggs, fruit and vegetable scraps with the stickers taken off, spoiled leftovers, food soiled paper and napkins, yard trimmings and untreated wood, while pet waste and glass must never go in. Service days come from the city map or the Recology calendar, and a missed collection is reported to the city and to Recology on (425) 453-0220 within 24 hours.
Two bulky pickups a year are built into the service
The kerbside answer for anything that will not fit a cart is a booked bulky item pickup, and the city has included two of them a year at no extra cost since July 1, 2025. Recology's scheduling form is the booking route, and the examples the city gives are the three items this guide is asked about most often: sofas, mattresses and large appliances. A household that would rather haul its own material can use the voucher route instead, and a household that still has the item after two bookings has to wait for the next year or use a voucher or a special item pickup.
Vouchers, drop-offs and the hazardous waste mobile
The city issues two vouchers worth thirty dollars each per household per year towards recycling CFC appliances, clean wood, yard waste, mattresses and box springs at the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station at 2300 N 165th St., which opens Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Vouchers are requested online or collected at the Recology Store, must be requested by November 1 and used by November 30, and any charge above the voucher value is the resident's to pay. Much of the rest of the special material is also handled at that station: rigid styrofoam blocks, clothing and other textiles, and plastic film are accepted there free, although garbage bags and plastic seal bags are prohibited. Small electronics, small appliances under 2 feet, batteries, oils, styrofoam and textiles can also be booked as a special item pickup, larger e-waste goes to the free E-Cycle Washington programme, paint goes to PaintCare drop-offs, and household chemicals go to the King County Wastemobile when it visits the UW Bothell campus at 18115 Campus Way NE from 10 am to 5 pm on its published dates.
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 Bothell.
How much does mattress removal cost in Bothell?+
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 Bothell?+
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.
How does a mattress leave a Bothell home?+
One of the two free bulky item pickups each household may book a year with Recology will take it from the kerb, because the city names mattresses among the items that do not fit in the carts. A household that would rather haul it can request one of the two thirty dollar recycling vouchers the city issues each year, which cover mattresses and box springs at the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station, available from January 1 to November 30 with any cost above the voucher value paid by the resident.Official guidance
Who collects Bothell garbage and recycling?+
Recology King County provides garbage, recycling and organics collection to all City of Bothell customers under the city contract, with billing and account management moving to a new Recology customer portal from February 2026. Recyclables go in the blue cart empty, clean and dry and never bagged, organics go in the compost cart with stickers off and no pet waste or glass, and missed collections are reported to the city and to Recology on (425) 453-0220 within 24 hours or by email to bothell@recology.com.Official guidance
How many bulky item pickups does Bothell include?+
Two a year at no extra cost since July 1, 2025. A residential customer books them with Recology through the bulky item scheduling form, and they cover items that do not fit in the curbside carts, with sofas, mattresses and large appliances named as examples. A household with more material still has the voucher route, the special item pickup and the county drop-offs rather than unlimited kerbside collection.Official guidance
How does the Bothell recycling voucher work?+
The city issues up to two vouchers worth thirty dollars each per household a year, while supplies last, for residents inside Bothell city limits. Vouchers cover CFC appliances, clean wood, yard waste, mattresses and box springs at the Shoreline Recycling and Transfer Station, they must be requested by November 1 and used by November 30 within the January 1 to November 30 programme window, they do not cover commercial disposal, and any charge above the thirty dollar value is paid by the resident. Request them through the city form or collect them at the Recology Store.Official guidance
