A load too big for the carts goes to a county transfer station at a per vehicle garbage rate or to a drop box at a per cubic yard rate, and residents unload their own vehicles.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 per vehicle at a Snohomish County transfer station for a load of 360 pounds or less, with $160.00 per ton above that, while the county drop boxes charge $30.00 per cubic yard with a five cubic yard maximum per customer per load, and an unsecured load charge of 20 dollars for a vehicle under 8,000 pounds and 25 dollars for a heavier one. Self hauled residential loads at county facilities, where customers unload their own vehicles and the recycling areas are free for residential customers only.
When & how
The transfer stations take garbage and recycling seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the drop boxes keep shorter weekly schedules. All county facilities close on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and arrivals are asked to be at the gate at least 30 minutes before closing.
Get it ready
Cover and secure the load, because an unsecured load is charged an extra fee, and keep dangerous waste, moderate risk waste and yard or clean wood debris out of the load because county facilities refuse all three. At the drop boxes every item has to be under six feet long or under 25 square feet, except household sofas, appliances, mattresses, doors, carpets and rugs.
Mattresses and covered springs are accepted as garbage only at the county facilities, with two named recyclers as an alternative.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 per vehicle at a Snohomish County transfer station for a load of 360 pounds or less, with $160.00 per ton above that. Self hauled residential loads at county facilities, or a mattress recycler that sets its own charge.
When & how
Take the mattress to a transfer station any day between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and keep it with the garbage rather than the recycling area.
Get it ready
The county lists mattresses and covered springs as accepted as garbage only, and the drop box size limit specifically exempts mattresses. Keep the piece dry, and keep it out of the carts.
Weekly garbage, every other week recycling and a handful of holidays
Waste Management collects garbage every week and recycling every other week for Lake Stevens, with yard and food waste weekly for households that subscribe. Collection runs as usual on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day, but no garbage is collected on Independence Day and a double garbage load is taken the following week. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day push collection one day later for the rest of the week, and a household that cannot self haul can ask for a special pickup through the hauler's service page.
Cover the load, bring payment and watch the gate time
Self hauled loads go to a county transfer station between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. any day, or to a county drop box on its shorter weekly schedule, and all county facilities close on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Loads must be covered and secured, because an unsecured load carries the county's published unsecured load charge, and payment is by cash, check with identification, or Visa, Mastercard and Discover only.
The county recycling area is free, but it refuses a lot
County recycling areas are free for residential customers only and take appliances without refrigerant, household batteries, motor oil up to 10 gallons a day, antifreeze, oil filters, lead acid batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, glass bottles and jars, tin and aluminum cans, propane tanks of barbecue size, lawn mowers with the fluids drained and the battery removed, and scrap metal 8 feet or less that is 85 percent metal or more. They refuse electronics and send them to E-Cycle Washington, refuse mattresses and take them as garbage only, refuse refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, heat pumps and dehumidifiers and send those to appliance recyclers, and refuse yard or clean wood debris at every facility.
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 Lake Stevens with Waste Management curbside collection and Snohomish County Solid Waste facilities
Self haul the load to a county transfer station
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, project material or another load that will not fit a cart.
Cost & conditions
From $30 per vehicle for a load of 360 pounds or less, with $160.00 per ton above that, plus the free residential recycling areas for eligible items. Self hauled loads at Snohomish County facilities, where customers unload their own vehicles and the recycling areas are free for residential customers only.
Arrange it
Take the load to the North County station at 19600 63rd Avenue NE in Arlington or the Airport Road station at 10700 Minuteman Drive in Everett, any day between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., with the load covered and secured.
Dangerous waste, moderate risk waste and yard or clean wood debris are refused, electronics go to E-Cycle Washington instead, refrigerators and other refrigerant units go to a private appliance recycler, mattresses travel as garbage, and an unsecured load costs more.
A household with a mattress or covered springs that would rather not pay the garbage rate at a county facility.
Cost & conditions
The county lists mattress recyclers without publishing their rates, so confirm the piece and the charge directly with the recycler.
Arrange it
Call Arlington Recycle Warehouse in Everett on 425-931-3670 or MCS Recycle Maltby in Woodinville on 206-556-3199 and confirm the drop-off before loading the piece.
The county treats mattresses and covered springs as garbage rather than recycling, so the county route is the garbage rate and the recyclers are an alternative rather than a county programme.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Stevens.
How much does mattress removal cost in Lake Stevens?+
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 Lake Stevens?+
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.
What does a self hauled load cost in Snohomish County?+
At a county transfer station a load of 360 pounds or less is charged the published minimum including tax, and anything above that is charged at the published rate per ton plus tax. At a county drop box the published rate applies to the first cubic yard and to each additional cubic yard, with a maximum of five cubic yards per customer per load, and an unsecured load carries the published unsecured load charge.Official guidance
Will the county take a mattress?+
Yes, but as garbage rather than recycling. Snohomish County lists mattresses and covered springs as accepted as garbage only, so they travel with a self hauled load to a county transfer station at the per vehicle garbage rate. A mattress is also exempt from the drop box size limit, and the county names Arlington Recycle Warehouse in Everett on 425-931-3670 and MCS Recycle Maltby on 206-556-3199 as alternatives.Official guidance
Who collects Lake Stevens garbage and recycling?+
Waste Management, which the county's service provider table lists for Lake Stevens and the city names as its garbage and recycling provider. Garbage is collected weekly, recycling every other week, and yard and food waste weekly for subscribers. Questions go to the hauler on 1-800-592-9995, and the county itself does not collect at the curb.Official guidance
What do I need to know before self hauling to the county?+
Go to a transfer station between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. with the load covered and secured, and expect to unload the vehicle yourself. A load of 360 pounds or less is charged the published minimum including tax, heavier loads at the published rate per ton plus tax, an unsecured load carries the published unsecured load charge, and payment is by cash, check with identification, or Visa, Mastercard and Discover only.Official guidance
