Why do I have to pay $10 to dispose of a mattress?
Mattresses cannot be easily recycled or compacted so they are hauled to the Evergreen Regional site where the County pays for each mattress to be shredded.  By doing this, it reduces our local landfill volumes and helps ensure there is room for all your waste.

No Fee Disposals

• Appliances (stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, hot water tanks, barbecues)
