In 2024, Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy and Second Chance Recycling are offering a free pilot program to apartments located in Ramsey and Washington counties. This is a great opportunity to try out recycling while saving money on mattress disposal.
In 2023, participating apartments recycled 685 mattresses
– that’s over 37,000 pounds of waste prevented!

The pilot program is set to continue until June 2024, at which time, interested participants will have the option to continue with low-cost recycling services.
From July 2024 onwards, mattresses and box springs can be recycled at a cost of $10 per item, along with a $10 charge for each pick-up.
