What to confirm before donating
Ask the local center these questions:
- 1.Do you accept this mattress type and condition?
- 2.Do you accept the box spring separately?
- 3.Is the frame accepted?
- 4.Are donations collected, and what pickup dates are offered?
The Northern Division example is regional and dates to 2018, so do not treat it as a universal nationwide prohibition. Confirm the current policy with your local center.

For other potential recipients, use the mattress donation guide and confirm acceptance before transporting the mattress.
When Dropcurb fits
If the mattress or box spring is an accepted item and you can move it outdoors to an accessible location, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Standard pickup does not include indoor carry-out, so you need a service that includes that labor if you cannot move the item outside yourself.
