Three parts. Choose only the ones going.
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.
Frame or adjustable base
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 is named as a Call-2-Haul large item, so it goes out on a scheduled curbside pickup or in a self-haul to the recovery center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Tacoma residential Solid Waste customers may schedule two curbside pickups or self-hauls a year with the cost already built into residential rates. Multifamily and commercial customers pay the Call-2-Haul fee.
When & how
Call (253) 573-2468 to schedule, then put the mattress at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and count it as one of the three large items, and take the matching box spring on the same pickup if both are going.
Place all items at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day, keep them clear of vehicles, buildings, power lines and trees, and put out only the items disclosed when the collection was scheduled. Call at least one business day ahead to cancel or change the appointment, and allow the whole business day because two trucks may be assigned.
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 Tacoma Solid Waste Utility, with E-Cycle Washington for electronics
Schedule a Call-2-Haul pickup
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, exercise equipment or a load of smaller household items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tacoma residential Solid Waste customers may schedule two curbside pickups or self-hauls a year with the cost already built into residential rates. Multifamily and commercial customers are charged $115 for a single pickup and $230 for a double pickup.
Arrange it
Call the city on (253) 573-2468, disclose the items, and set them at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
Household garbage, recyclables, food, liquids, hazardous waste, televisions, computers, monitors, building material, fencing, roofing, cars, tires, vehicle parts, trailers, canopies, yard waste and pallets are refused, and an over-limit set out becomes a double pickup.
Tacoma households that move their own loads use the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center at 3510 S. Mullen Street, where the transfer center and recycle center are open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Bring proof of Tacoma residency to qualify for the residential disposal rate, unload at the scale, and pay by cash, credit card or check. The disposal charge depends on the weight of the load, and a load needing special handling carries an extra fee. The same site holds the household hazardous waste facility, which is free for Tacoma residents and open Friday through Monday, and the recycle center. Liquid and hazardous material cannot go in a garbage load, and transporting waste for others requires a special hauling permit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tacoma.
How much does mattress removal cost in Tacoma?+
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 Tacoma?+
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 Tacoma pick up a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, on a scheduled Call-2-Haul pickup. A mattress is named as a large item, up to three large items are allowed per pickup, and the city asks that everything be at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Tacoma?+
Tacoma runs its own municipal Solid Waste Utility, which serves residential and commercial customers with curbside garbage, recycling and food and yard waste collection, and it also runs the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center for self-haul loads. The monthly bill is set by the size of the garbage container.Official guidance
How many bulky pickups does a Tacoma household get?+
A residential Solid Waste customer can schedule two curbside pickups or self-hauls a year, with the cost already built into residential rates. Each pickup takes up to three large items and up to fifteen boxes or bags of smaller items, and an over-limit set out uses a double pickup.Official guidance
Where do Tacoma televisions and computers go?+
Televisions, computers and monitors are not accepted on Call-2-Haul. They are recycled free through E-Cycle Washington collection sites, and cell phones, batteries and chargers recycle free at the Tacoma Recycling Center, the Tacoma Municipal Building and the Tacoma Public Utilities lobby. Small electronics such as radios and printers can go in a Call-2-Haul bag allowance.Official guidance
