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.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

Mattresses are collected as bulky waste by appointment and accepted at the transfer station, and the utility will not pick up a mattress that is not wrapped in plastic.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress pickup counts as one of the two standard bulk disposals a year included with service for a Plainfield property location, reserved by the property owner only. A transfer station drop-off is billed by weight under the utility's published schedule instead.
When & how
Book the pickup first by calling 908-226-2518, then have the wrapped mattress ready before the crew arrives.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress completely in plastic before the pickup, because an unwrapped mattress is not collected. Box springs travel with the mattress as bulky waste, and a drop-off trip needs identification and proof of residency or property ownership at the gate.
Anything that will not fit a container is bulky waste, collected by appointment or dropped at the transfer station, with two standard disposals a year included for a property location.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two standard bulk disposals per calendar year, per property location, are included with service for Plainfield property owners, arranged first come, first served and only by the property owner. A drop-off load is billed by weight, a car load of bulk material carries a published flat rate, and an on-demand pickup carries its own published fee.
When & how
Call 908-226-2518 to book an appointment, or use the transfer station during posted hours for a drop-off. On-demand pickups cover urgent situations under the published rules and fees.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the regular route: rims must be removed, a household is limited to four tires per drop-off with a fifteen tire maximum, and car tires are billed per tire up to four before larger loads are billed by weight. Motor oil is taken separately at the transfer station, free to residential customers up to two gallons per visit.
Bulky waste is never taken on the regular trash day. Only the property owner can reserve an appointment, appointments are first come, first served, and the City counts two standard bulk disposals a year per property location as included with service.
Schedule the mattress pickup first, then wrap the mattress completely in plastic before the crew arrives, because the utility will not pick up an unwrapped mattress. The rule exists to protect the crews and the neighborhood.
The Plainfield Environmental Resource Center at 95 Rock Avenue is open to Plainfield residents and property owners, who must show identification and proof of residency or property ownership. Contractors need a DEP sticker, posted vehicle weights apply, and cash, check, Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
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 Plainfield.
How much does mattress removal cost in Plainfield?+
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 Plainfield?+
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 a mattress have to be wrapped for pickup in Plainfield?+
Yes. The utility will not pick up mattresses that are not wrapped in plastic, and it asks households to schedule the pickup first and then wrap the mattress completely in plastic before the crew arrives.Official guidance
What counts as bulky waste in Plainfield?+
Furniture, tires, beds and mattresses, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, strollers, laundry baskets, vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers and hardcover books are on the City's list. Bulky waste is collected by appointment only and cannot go in the recycling or the regular trash.Official guidance
What if a move cannot wait for the standard bulk appointment?+
Ask about an on-demand bulk pickup, which the utility offers for urgent disposal situations under published rules and fees. A Plainfield resident who does not use the utility's solid waste services has a published on-demand fee as well.Official guidance
How many bulky pickups come with Plainfield service?+
Two standard bulk disposals are included per property location each calendar year, and the City counts a collection or a drop-off as one of them. Only the property owner can book the appointment, the second standard disposal can be requested after 90 days, and urgent jobs use the on-demand service with its own published fee.Official guidance
What can never go in a Plainfield trash or recycling container?+
Electronic waste, bulky items and hazardous material.
