List every piece, clear the path and identify anything attached to the wall or powered. That turns a vague “bed pickup” into a job a crew can plan.
Build the item list
Include the mattress size, one-piece or split foundation, headboard, footboard, rails, slats, storage drawers and nearby furniture. Adjustable bases should be identified separately.
Map the path
Note the floor, stairs, elevator, doorway limits, parking distance and building rules. Reserve elevators or loading areas before the appointment when required.
Prepare the room
Remove sheets and personal items, empty storage, secure pets and keep children away from the carry route. Leave complicated disassembly for the crew if you are unsure how the frame is supported.
Keep disposal options separate
The City of Chesapeake bulk program lists mattresses and box springs for eligible city-served residents. Frames and mixed loads can have different rules, so confirm current municipal instructions instead of assuming one request covers every piece.
