Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in East Greenwich.
How much does mattress removal cost in East Greenwich?+
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 East Greenwich?+
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.
How does a mattress leave an East Greenwich home?+
Two free routes exist. Call the Department of Public Works on 401-886-8620 or 401-886-8621 by the Wednesday before the third Saturday of the month to join the curbside pickup list, or drop the mattress and box spring at the transfer station on 21 Crompton Avenue on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Both require the set to be clean and dry and in recyclable condition.Official guidance
Who handles trash and bulky items in East Greenwich?+
The Department of Public Works manages collection and contracts MEGA Disposal for curbside trash and recycling, with missed pickups on 401-434-1344. The department also runs the transfer station on Crompton Avenue and the permit office at 111 Peirce Street, and answers on 401-886-8620 or 401-886-8621.Official guidance
Does a mattress cost anything to recycle in East Greenwich?+
No. Mattresses and box springs are recycled free in Rhode Island: they can be dropped at the transfer station on Saturdays, or collected curbside on the third Saturday of the month after calling the Department of Public Works by the preceding Wednesday. The state recycling program is funded by a visible fee charged when a mattress is sold.Official guidance
What do I need to use the transfer station?+
A valid transfer station sticker, free for residents with a vehicle registered in East Greenwich, obtained from the Department of Public Works at 111 Peirce Street with proof of registration. A non commercial pickup truck also needs a ticket for each visit, and residents may get twelve tickets a year.
