Mattress Recycling Program

The Transfer Station is participating in a Mattress Recycling Program.  Residents can dispose of mattresses and box springs in the tan container next to the attendant shed.  Residents must stack mattresses and box springs on their side inside the container.  Mattress pads and toppers must be removed.  Mattresses that are excessively torn, punctured, soiled or moldy are NOT acceptable.  Wet, frozen or twisted mattresses and box springs are also NOT acceptable.

Mattresses and box springs should no longer be placed in the large dumpster at the Transfer Station.
