Three parts. Choose only the ones going.
Mattress
Choose twin, full, queen or king / California king. The mattress choice covers the mattress itself. A topper is a different item.
Box spring or foundation
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.
Frame or adjustable base
Choose the frame that matches yours. A powered adjustable base has its own option. Include these only if they are leaving with the mattress.

Items do not need to be outside when you book. If your building allows only a short access window, contact us before booking so we can agree on a workable plan.
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.

East Providence collects a mattress, a box spring or one set per household on scheduled Saturdays by appointment, priced per piece, and the season runs from March through December.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per mattress or box spring collected at the curb by appointment. Saturday collection by appointment through the Recycling Office at 401-435-7701, for one mattress, one box spring or one set per household, in the months of March through December only. A mattress that is not torn or damaged can also be dropped at the Resource Recovery campus in Johnston at no fee year-round.
When & how
Call the Recycling Office to book a Saturday pickup inside the March to December window, and put the bedding at the curb on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry and undamaged, because the free drop-off route only accepts bedding that is not torn, and keep it out of the rubbish cart and the recycling cart. Nothing loose beside a city cart is collected.
Book the Thursday deadline, then set out for Friday
The Friday bulky collection runs for the whole city by appointment, one item per household per week. Schedule it on 401-435-7701 before noon on Thursday and put the item at the curb after 3 p.m. that afternoon. A bulky item set out without an appointment, or rubbish piled at the curb, can lead to a daily fine.
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.
City of East Providence Refuse and Recycling Division with Rhode Island Resource Recovery
Book the Saturday mattress collection
A household with a mattress or box spring to dispose of between March and December.
Cost & conditions
$25 per mattress or box spring collected at the curb by appointment. Saturday collection by appointment through the Recycling Office at 401-435-7701, for one mattress, one box spring or one set per household, from March through December. Out of season the route is closed and the drop-off alternatives apply instead.
Arrange it
Call the Recycling Office to book a Saturday pickup, then put the bedding at the curb on the appointed day.
No mattress collections run in January or February, and the price applies to each piece rather than to the pair, so a mattress and box spring together carry two charges.
The self-haul routes for an East Providence address are the city yard and the state campus. At 60 Commercial Way the Department of Public Works takes e-waste, scrap metal, propane tanks, auto batteries, antifreeze, used motor oil, cooking oil, rigid plastic and used books Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the city publishes no rate for those drop-offs. The Resource Recovery campus in Johnston is where a mattress that is not torn or damaged goes free year-round, and its residential recycling area and small vehicle transfer station handle special and bulky drop-offs, while household hazardous waste is a free appointment-only Eco-Depot service. The campus brings material in Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon, and the operator publishes a separate accepted-materials and pricing list, so confirm the gate price before a load of anything other than bedding leaves the house. Construction and demolition debris has no municipal route at all and goes to the Johnston landfill or a private collector.

State resource recovery campus for mattresses, bulky drop-off and trash
Rhode Island Resource Recovery campus
3 Shun Pike, Johnston, RI 02919
The residential recycling area and small vehicle transfer station at this entrance take special and bulky item drop-offs and are the route the city points residents to for a mattress that is not torn or damaged. The same campus carries the mattress recycling building at 34 Shun Pike, the central landfill and the materials recycling facility at the 65 Shun Pike entrance, and the Eco-Depot household hazardous waste programme by appointment.
The campus is open to Rhode Island residents and the entrances serve different purposes, so a load has to go to the right gate. Household hazardous waste is appointment-only through the Eco-Depot, the city is not permitted to collect or store that material, and the operator publishes a separate accepted-materials and pricing list that governs everything other than the mattress drop-off.
Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon for bringing material in, with office hours Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., both closed on the operator's published holidays.
The city states that a mattress which is not torn or damaged can be dropped at the Resource Recovery campus at no fee year-round, and the Eco-Depot is described as a free service for household hazardous waste from Rhode Island residents. The corporation publishes its own accepted-materials pricing for everything else as a separate fee schedule, so confirm the gate price for any other load.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in East Providence.
How much does mattress removal cost in East Providence?+
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 Providence?+
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 do I get rid of a mattress in East Providence?+
Book a Saturday collection with the Recycling Office at 401-435-7701. One mattress, one box spring or one set per household is collected, the charge applies to each piece, and collections run from March through December with nothing scheduled in January or February. The city also offers free mattress and box spring drop-offs in season, and a mattress that is not torn or damaged can be taken to the Resource Recovery campus in Johnston free at any time of year.Official guidance
