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.

No Fargo page names a mattress. The transfer station takes furniture and large items at no charge from residents with proof of residency, Cleanup Week collects large items free in May, and the landfill bans only its published list of materials, which does not include bedding. A mattress is therefore a question for the Solid Waste office rather than a documented acceptance.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published and no page names a mattress. Call the Solid Waste Department at 701.241.1449 to confirm which route applies, because a mattress may fit the free transfer station large item programme, the May Cleanup Week pile, or the fee based crew pickup.
When & how
Confirm the route first. The transfer station runs Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., Cleanup Week takes items on the recycling collection day after a 7 a.m. set-out in May, and the crew pickup is scheduled on 701.241.1449.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the garbage cart, where major appliances, tires, yard waste, lead acid batteries and used motor oil are the published bans rather than bedding. If it goes into the May pile, keep it separated from household garbage by at least four feet and set it out no more than one day early.
Garbage carts go to the end of the driveway, the alley or the boulevard by 8 a.m. on the collection day and come off the boulevard by 6 p.m. or after collection, whichever is later. Carts need five feet of space from every other object so the arm can grab them, and they never sit on top of a snowbank.
Cleanup Week piles are separated and set out on time
During Cleanup Week each material goes in its own pile, because separate trucks collect tires, appliances, furniture, brush and household garbage. Garbage goes in disposable containers, the piles go out before 7 a.m. on the recycling collection day and no more than one day early, household garbage stays at least four feet from everything else, and refrigerator and freezer doors come off before the appliance goes out.
The free transfer station trip needs proof of residency
The residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill is open to Fargo residents only, runs with the landfill from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and asks for proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill. Commercial waste, building materials and concrete are not accepted there even from a resident.
Electronics and hazardous waste stay out of every pile
The landfill and the garbage carts ban electronics and mercury containing devices, and Cleanup Week refuses electronics, paint, stains and varnish as well. Paint, thinners, cleaners, poisons, automotive fluids, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil belong at the household hazardous waste facility on 43 1/2 Street North, and one computer set and one television per resident a month go there too.
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.
A Fargo household with furniture, a large item, household garbage, metal, cardboard, automotive batteries or a non Freon appliance.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Fargo residents only, with proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill, at the residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill.
Arrange it
Drive to the landfill at 2301 8th Avenue North during landfill hours, Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., and take the load to building 4. The programme takes non Freon appliances up to two a month along with cardboard, automotive batteries, metals such as grills, shelving, lawn mowers, patio furniture, snow blowers and bed frames, household garbage, furniture and large items.
The transfer station is a Fargo resident programme and needs proof of residency. Non Freon appliances are capped at two a month, commercial waste is not accepted, building materials and concrete are not accepted, and electronics and hazardous waste are banned from the site.
A household that can wait for the annual May event to clear tires, appliances and other large items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Fargo residents on the city collection route, with the published limits of two appliances per household and up to four tires and rims per household. Piles staff judge excessive are charged.
Arrange it
Watch for the Cleanup Week dates, which in 2026 were the weeks of May 4 to 8 and May 11 to 15 and followed the A and B recycling calendar. Put the piles on the boulevard before 7 a.m. on the scheduled recycling collection day, separated by material type, and the city collects between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Building materials such as wood or concrete are not collected, electronics and household hazardous waste must not be set out, logs and brush are limited to 10 inches in diameter, and the event runs once a year rather than on demand.
A household that cannot haul the item itself and wants it collected from the property.
Cost & conditions
No rate is published for the service. The city states that the fee for a call-in large item pickup is based on the amount and weight and is added to the homeowner utility bill, so call 701.241.1449 for the current figure. Extra bags outside the cart are 3 dollars each for bags up to 33 gallons.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Department on 701.241.1449 to schedule the collection. The line is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday except legal holidays, and the charge lands on the utility account rather than being paid at the curb.
The service is for small amounts of building material, furniture, appliances and automotive parts rather than a whole house clearance, it has to be arranged in advance, and the household is billed for the weight collected. Apartment residents are told to ask the landlord about large item disposal instead.
A household with excess garbage or debris that does not fit the free transfer station programme.
Cost & conditions
From $15 per load for up to 600 pounds of debris at the city landfill scale, with the published 2026 rate table effective January 1 2026 and an additional 25 dollar charge at the scale operator discretion for a load that is not tarped or secured. Residents and businesses delivering waste the landfill accepts, paying by cash, cheque or credit card at the scale house. The landfill may not accept electronics, liquids, hazardous waste, lead, PCBs, manure, septic tank pumpings, infectious waste, mercury containing devices, concrete, tree stumps or roots.
Arrange it
Pull onto the scale at 2301 8th Avenue North, unload into a container on the asphalt surface, then pull back onto the scale and pay. The landfill opens Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., and item questions go to 701.282.2489.
A load has to be tarped or secured or it may be charged an extra fee, very windy conditions can turn away paper and lightweight loads, and the permit list of refused material is long enough that the landfill is the wrong destination for electronics, liquids, hazardous waste and concrete.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fargo.
How much does mattress removal cost in Fargo?+
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 Fargo?+
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.
Does Fargo take mattresses?+
No Fargo page names a mattress, so call the Solid Waste Department at 701.241.1449 before you load it. The free transfer station in building 4 at the landfill lists furniture and large items for Fargo residents with proof of residency, the landfill bans only its published materials, and Cleanup Week in May is the annual free large item collection with a two appliance and four tire limit.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Fargo?+
The City of Fargo Solid Waste Department, which provides all residential garbage collection inside the city limits on a volume-based programme with a city-supplied cart.
