    How it works

    Connecticut mattress stewardship program (Public Act 13-42) run by the Mattress Recycling Council with CT DEEP oversight since May 2015. Most town transfer stations take part and let town residents drop off mattresses for free; town participation is voluntary, so check the Bye Bye Mattress locator or your recycling coordinator.

    Cost & rules
    • Box springs (foundations) used in Connecticut, in recyclable condition, can be dropped off at participating locations; the program pages seen state "free" only for mattresses.
    • Town participation is voluntary; check the Bye Bye Mattress locator or your recycling coordinator.
    • Damaged, soiled, wet or infested units: contact the site first; fees may apply.

Before you go

  1. Don’t assume a box spring is priced like a mattress; ask separately.
  2. Tell the operator if it’s a split (two-piece) box spring; some charge per piece.
  3. Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs before you go.
