Mattresses Recycling Near Me
Mattresses and box springs can be recycled for their steel, foam and fabric. Several states, including California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon, run mattress recycling programs funded by a small fee at purchase, so drop-off may be free there. Elsewhere, expect a fee at transfer stations or from a pickup service.
How to prepare mattresses for recycling
- Keep the mattress dry and free of bed bugs and mold — recyclers may refuse infested items.
- Don't remove the tag; some programs need it.
- Wrap the mattress in plastic for transport if allowed.
- Call to confirm they accept mattresses and ask about fees.
What usually isn't accepted
- Wet, moldy or bed-bug-infested mattresses at most recyclers
- Water beds without being drained
Will I get paid, or is there a fee?
Often free where a state program exists; otherwise a disposal fee, commonly charged per item.
