What happens to your mattress after pickup
Mattresses are recycled at licensed facilities where steel springs, foam, and fabric are separated and processed individually. Springs are melted down for scrap steel, foam is shredded for carpet padding or industrial use, and clean fabric is repurposed. Mattresses in good condition (no stains, no structural damage) are donated to local shelters and charities when possible. Items that can't be recycled or donated are disposed of at permitted solid waste facilities.
Why Columbus residents choose Dropcurb for mattress removal
Columbus's free landfills (Pine Grove and Granite Bluff) require your own truck and loading — and the 3-5 week delay on yard waste pickup pushed the city to open them. LoadUp and College HUNKS both require scheduling. Dropcurb starts at $79 with same-day curbside pickup — instant online pricing, no driving to Pine Grove.
