Do I need to bag or wrap my mattress?

No. Just place it at the curb. Lean it against a wall or lay it flat. Our haulers handle it from there.

Can you pick up a mattress today?

Yes. Book before noon and your mattress is picked up by 8:00 PM the same day. No appointment window needed.

What happens to my mattress after pickup?

Mattresses are taken to licensed facilities. Recyclable materials like steel springs, foam, and fabric are separated when possible.

Can you pick up a mattress and box spring together?

Yes. Your first mattress is $79 (includes pickup fee). The box spring is an additional $29. Total for a mattress + box spring set: $109. Add both items in the cart.

What if my mattress is too heavy for me to move?

Dropcurb is curbside-only — we need the mattress at the curb, driveway, or alley. Most people can slide a mattress to the curb solo, but if you need help, ask a neighbor or friend for the last few feet. If you physically cannot move it at all, a full-service company like 1-800-GOT-JUNK can carry it out for $150–400+.

Mattress Removal in Youngstown, Ohio

$79 Flat Rate for Single Items

You have five realistic options for getting rid of a mattress: city bulk pickup (free but slow), donation (if it's in good condition and stain-free), self-haul to the dump ($30–80), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($79, same day), or traditional junk removal ($150–600+). Most used mattresses can't be donated due to hygiene regulations, which makes disposal the main challenge.

Does Youngstown pick up mattresses?

Youngstown Public Works charges $15 for monthly bulk pickup but forces 3-5 week waits. Oak Forest and McGuffey residents pay for service that arrives entirely on the city's schedule.

City program details: Youngstown Public Works. Frequency: monthly. Wait: 3-5 weeks. Fees: $15 per pickup

At $15 per pickup with 3-5 week delays, city service isn't fast despite the fee. Mahoning County Landfill charges $10-18 per load for immediate disposal, while 1-800-GOT-JUNK offers faster service at their standard $150-$600+ rates.

Dropcurb picks up mattresses same-day in Youngstown for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

Youngstown: pay $15, then wait 3-5 weeks anyway.

Five weeks of delay after paying a fee defeats the purpose of municipal service. When you need space cleared for moves, renovations, or clearance projects, the city's inflexible monthly timeline creates unnecessary complications.

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.

Dropcurb's $79 eliminates Youngstown Public Works' five-week maximum waits with same-day pickup. We're also half the cost of 1-800-GOT-JUNK without the monthly scheduling limitations of city collection.
