Before you go
- Count each piece separately: mattress, box spring and topper can be priced differently.
- Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs; many recyclers refuse damaged bedding.
- Confirm per-piece pricing and whether wrapping or an appointment is required.
Illinois rules
- Illinois EPA says state and federal law allow household hazardous waste to go out with residential garbage, but taking it to an HHW collection is more protective. Source: Illinois EPA: Household Hazardous Wastes (opens in new tab)
