2City curbside pickup in Concord
Concord’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery curbside bulky mattress pickup (paid)
Addresses "Within our collection service area", which for Concord is the whole city under the City's exclusive solid waste franchise agreement with MDRR. Homeowners, property managers and hospitality businesses are all named.
Conditions and source
Priced on request and booked through MDRR: "Within our collection service area, we offer bulky pickups. For pricing, please contact us, and our friendly staff will help schedule it for you." Customer service (925) 682-9113. MDRR states that 80-90 percent of mattress parts are recycled and repurposed into carpet padding, mulch and textiles; mattresses from bulk item collections are segregated at its Pittsburg facility and shipped out in a 51ft cargo trailer for recycling. The alternatives MDRR offers are a debris box rental (mattress added "for an additional fee") or self-haul to the Pittsburg Recycling Center + Transfer Station.
Not confirmed: No price is published for the mattress bulky pickup or for adding a mattress to a debris box.
Not confirmed: No per-visit mattress limit is published.
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether this paid pickup is separate from, or counts against, the three free on-call pickups.
Not confirmed: MDRR's 80-90% recycled figure is the operator's own claim and is not independently evidenced.

Visit siteCity of Concord on-call pickups (Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery) — mattresses not accepted
Concord residential customers of Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery, the City's exclusive franchised hauler. "Residents may request up to three (3) per calendar year at no additional cost."
Conditions and source
The free on-call pickup takes only bagged household waste: "up to twelve (12) 32-gallon bags of household garbage or yard waste weighing no more than 50 pounds apiece", plus tied branch bundles no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet. "We will NOT pick up building or construction materials, furniture, lumber, logs, carpets, appliances, or e-waste." A mattress is therefore not collectable on this service. "Each pickup must be one week apart and on your regular collection day." Customer service (925) 682-9113. For a mattress the City directs residents to the MDRR processing facility at 1300 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg, where "Mattresses are accepted ... for a fee", or to the Bye Bye Mattress locator.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named in either list; their exclusion follows from the refusal of furniture and the bags-only definition.
Not confirmed: No free curbside bulky (large-item) allowance is published for Concord at all, contrary to several third-party summaries.
Not confirmed: The MDRR mattress fee is not published by the City or the hauler.

- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
