Mattress Recycling Program

The Franklin County Solid Waste Management District works with five towns to accept dry mattresses and box springs for recycling. This program is open to residents in all District towns. The program is for dry fabric covered mattresses and box springs, including foam and crib mattresses.

Beginning on October 24, 2022 residents must take dry mattresses and box springs to a recycling program in Bernardston, Colrain, Deerfield, Montague, or Wendell. The MassDEP now prohibits all recyclable mattresses and box springs from going into the trash for landfill disposal and these will be rejected if brought to a transfer station for disposal. Call the District office at 413-772-2438 if you are unsure if your mattress(es) can be recycled.

All regional mattress recycling sites charge $35 per mattress or box spring regardless of size. Check the specific information for each site before bringing a mattress for recycling.
