Mattress Recycling
Starting October 1st 2024, The Rock Springs Landfill will be partnering with Spring Back to begin recycling mattresses.
There will be no charge for this service to in district residents. Again, this will be a free service for all in district residents.
For out of district residents and all businesses there will be a $35 per mattress charge.
​
The charge will be for mattresses only as box springs will still be disposed of in the main disposal area.
​
Residents and businesses disposing of mattresses will be required to offload their mattresses onto a pallet inside of a Connex container. The process will be simple so please separate your mattresses from your other trash before you come to the landfill.
​
For businesses, please be aware that the landfill will not be accepting bin loads or “dumped” loads of mattresses. Businesses will be required to load their mattresses onto pallets inside the Connex container as well.
​
We are excited to provide this service of diverting mattresses and repurposing them for other uses instead of putting them in the landfill. Thank you for helping us make this happen.
​
Please report all mattresses to the Scale House Attendant.
