The Crow Wing County Mattress Recycling Program is open for business after a temporary 3-month closure due to COVID-19. The recycling fee is $7 per item for twin/full size mattresses, and $14 for queen size and larger. In order for mattresses to be recycled, they must be dry, and relatively clean, otherwise, landfill disposal is the only option where the fee is $28 per mattresses (all sizes).
“Mattresses are big and bulky. They take up a lot of air space in the landfill. Mattress recycling is good for the environment and creates more space in the landfill for items that cannot be recycled”, stated Ryan Simonson, Environmental Services Supervisor.
The Land Services Department is committed to providing excellent customer service while helping our residents make wise choices that protect Crow Wing County’s extraordinary natural resources. Citizens are encouraged to contact the Environmental Services Solid Waste Office at (218) 824-1290 or for more information regarding mattress disposal options.
