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.

Furniture, mattresses, box springs and appliances that do not fit in a cart are collected from the curb by appointment. The hauler's rate table prices each group per item, and appliances sit outside the free yearly allowance.
City cost & eligibility
The two hauler pages publish different figures for the same groups: the bulky item page lists sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs at $23.11, white goods at $22.10 and refrigerators or freezers at $33.16 per item, while the 2026 rate table on the service page lists $25.35, $24.69 and $37.04 for the same groups. Confirm the current charge when booking on 206-381-6980.
When & how
Call 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged collection day.
Get it ready
Take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, keep the piece where the crew can lift it from the curb, and remember that appliances are not part of the free collection and are charged separately.
Once a year a Mercer Island household can set out extra garbage plus two non-appliance bulky items such as a mattress, a couch or a chair with no collection charge, as long as the pile stays inside the published limit and appliances stay out of it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free non-appliance bulky item collection per residential customer each calendar year, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less, which the service page describes as up to six bags of trash, plus two non-appliance bulky items. Appliances are excluded and extra volume beyond the limit is charged.
When & how
Book the collection with the hauler in advance and put everything out for the arranged day.
Get it ready
Keep the garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less, keep the pile at the curb rather than behind a gate, and hold appliances back for the paid bulky route because they are not covered by the free allowance.
A mattress or box spring is named on the island's bulky item list, so it fits the free yearly non-appliance allowance, and beyond that it is a per item curbside charge or a self hauled trip to the county station.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress or box spring is a non-appliance bulky item and therefore fits the one free bulky collection a household gets each year. Beyond that allowance the hauler charges per item, with the bulky item page listing $23.11 and the 2026 service rate table listing $25.35, so confirm at booking on 206-381-6980. Self hauling to the county station is $30.00 per item, and more than six pieces in a day needs waste clearance approval.
When & how
Book the collection with the hauler and set the mattress out for the arranged day, or take it to the Factoria transfer station during its station hours.
Get it ready
Set the mattress out at the curb as a separate item, or take it to the county station, where it is recycled rather than buried.
A couch, mattress, appliance or other large piece is a scheduled collection rather than a curbside free for all. Call the hauler on 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged day. One non-appliance collection a year is free, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less plus two non-appliance bulky items, and appliances plus anything beyond that limit are charged per item.
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 Mercer Island.
How much does mattress removal cost in Mercer Island?+
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 Mercer Island?+
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 do I book a bulky item collection on Mercer Island?+
Call Recology on 206-381-6980 or use the online form and put the item at the curb for the arranged day. One non-appliance bulky collection a year is free for a residential customer, and anything beyond that allowance, plus every appliance, is charged per item at rates the hauler confirms when you book. Doors must come off refrigerators and freezers before collection.Official guidance
What does the free Mercer Island bulky collection cover?+
One free non-appliance bulky item collection per residential customer each year, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less, which the service page describes as about six bags, plus two non-appliance bulky items such as a mattress, a couch or a chair. Appliances are not included, and anything beyond one cubic yard or beyond the single pickup in the year is charged.Official guidance
Where does a Mercer Island mattress go?+
A mattress or box spring is a non-appliance bulky item, so it fits the one free bulky collection a household gets each year, booked on 206-381-6980. Beyond that allowance it is charged per item at the hauler's published rate. Self hauling to the Factoria transfer station is the other route, where a mattress is recycled per item and more than six in a day needs waste clearance approval first.Official guidance
How are Mercer Island collection charges set?+
Garbage is billed monthly by cart size, with recycling and compost included, and an extra 32 gallon bag of garbage adds a charge on top. Bulky items are separate: one non-appliance collection a year is free and everything beyond that, plus every appliance, is charged per item at rates the hauler publishes and confirms at booking. Self hauled loads are weighed at the county station, and the on island electronics site and the county hazardous waste site both take their material at no charge. Dropcurb prices a booking separately with the total shown before payment.Official guidance
