Recycle that old mattress!
- Massachusetts has a statewide plan to reduce waste 30 percent by 2030. You can help us reach that goal by keeping mattresses and textiles out of the trash.
- Mattresses and box springs are bulky and hard to handle in the trash. Separating them for recycling is better for the planet and reduces the need for additional landfills and waste-to-energy facilities.
- Massachusetts residents get rid of almost 300,000 mattresses and box springs every year. That’s a real waste, as 85 percent of what’s in a mattress can be recycled.
- Bay State residents and businesses throw away nearly 230,000 tons of textiles every year. That’s a real waste, as about 95 percent of this material can be reused or repurposed. Give textiles a second life by donating them for reuse and repurposing.
- Recycling mattresses and recovering textiles helps support in-state, non-profit organizations and businesses and creates jobs here in Massachusetts.
Please note that Westhampton's Transfer Station will no longer accept mattresses for disposal. You can RECYCLE your old mattress by bringing it to the Williamsburg Transfer Station, 27 Mountain Street, in Haydenville. The Burgy Transfer Station is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM. If you hire a person or company to take away your old box-springs or mattresses, make sure that they are disposing of it properly in accordance with Mass DEP regulations.
