Mattress
Choose twin, full, queen or king / California king. The mattress choice covers the mattress itself. A topper is a different item.

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.

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.

Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Add a location photo and clear access notes so your hauler can identify exactly what is going.

The city puts household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings in one curbside bulk category, and the refuse rules page states that this material may be placed between the sidewalk and curb on collection day. No appointment and no separate charge are published for that route because the refuse service is billed on the annual tax bill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential refuse fee that the property pays on its tax bill, with no separate charge published for bulk refuse placed out on the regular collection day. The city charges separately only for the on demand extra collection service, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.
When & how
Put the bulk material out with the container on the regular refuse collection day, at the curb by 6:30 a.m. and no earlier than the night before.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from refrigerators and other appliances with latches, tie loose wood, trees, bushes and hedges in bundles no longer than four feet, no thicker than 18 inches and no heavier than 60 pounds, and remove nails from discarded lumber or bend them over so no point is exposed. The city does not collect radioactive, volatile, highly flammable, explosive, biomedical, infectious, toxic or hazardous material, and it does not collect waste generated by a contractor.
Bedding and mattresses are named in the city's own curbside bulk category, so a mattress goes out on the regular refuse collection day with the rest of the weekly service. The county ecopark refuses mattresses and other foam-based toppers, which leaves the curbside route as the local one.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential refuse fee billed on the tax bill, with no separate charge published for a mattress or box spring placed out on the regular collection day. The county ecopark does not accept mattresses or foam-based toppers at all.
When & how
Put the mattress between the sidewalk and curb on the regular refuse collection day, at the curb by 6:30 a.m. and no earlier than the night before collection.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the wheeled container and out of a county ecopark load, because that facility refuses mattresses and foam-based toppers. Keep it dry and clear of the container so the crew can handle both, and do not put it out with a contractor's construction waste, which the city does not collect.
Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go between the sidewalk and curb on the regular collection day, with no appointment. Remove the door from a refrigerator or another appliance with a latch, tie long pieces in bundles within the published length, thickness and weight limits, and remove nails or bend them over. Contractor-generated waste and hazardous material are not part of this route.
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.

Book the on demand refuse collection
A household with extra refuse from a move-out, a gathering or a small home improvement project that cannot wait for the next collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city describes payment at the time the collection agreement is signed but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with the Commercial Refuse Business Office at 428-6928, which also explains the other options available to property owners.
Arrange it
Contact the Commercial Refuse Business Office, describe what needs to be collected, meet the representative on site to sign a collection agreement, pay at that time, and the collection is scheduled for the next business day.
The service is a paid extra collection rather than part of the weekly route, payment is made at the agreement stage, and the same prohibited waste rules apply to what can be collected.
Rochester households can self haul to the Monroe County ecopark at 10 Avion Drive, open Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed on holidays. The site is for Monroe County residents only, an appointment is required only for household hazardous waste, and the recycling stations are self-serve apart from that stream. Electronics, appliances, scrap metal, rechargeable and button batteries, fluorescent and CFL bulbs, sharps and syringes, pharmaceuticals, paper for shredding and household hazardous waste by appointment are all taken there. Tires carry a fee that depends on whether they are on or off the rim with a limit of four tires per person, an appliance that still contains refrigerant carries its own fee, and mattresses, household garbage, building materials, alkaline and lead acid batteries, used motor oil, asbestos, PVC pipe, radioactive materials, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and Styrofoam food containers are refused.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rochester.
How much does mattress removal cost in Rochester?+
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 Rochester?+
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.
Do I need an appointment for a bulk pickup in Rochester?+
No. Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go out on the regular refuse collection day between the sidewalk and curb, in the same weekly service the annual refuse fee pays for. There is a separate on demand service for an extra collection such as a move-out or a small home improvement project, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Rochester?+
Put it out as a bulk item on the regular refuse collection day. The city names bedding and mattresses in the same curbside bulk category as household furniture and large appliances, and that material goes between the sidewalk and curb by 6:30 a.m. with the weekly collection. No appointment is needed and no separate charge is published, because the refuse service is billed on the annual tax bill. The county ecopark refuses mattresses, so the curb is the route.Official guidance
What does Rochester charge for refuse and bulky items?+
Residential refuse is billed on the annual tax bill rather than per pickup, and the published annual table lists the fee for a one unit residential property with higher figures for two and three unit properties and a separate schedule for a property that is primarily residential but partly used for a non residential purpose. Bulk refuse on the regular collection day and home originated tires are part of that weekly service with no separate charge published. The extra on demand collection is a paid service arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office, and the county ecopark charges only for its fee-based categories, which are tires and appliances that still contain refrigerant.Official guidance
