How to dispose of Mattress in Oregon

Oregon rules

Mattress recycling program available through Oregon DEQ.

General steps

1. Check if your mattress is in good, usable condition (no stains, tears, or infestations).
2. If usable: Donate to Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, or local shelters.
3. If not donatable: Check for mattress recycling programs in your area.
4. As a last resort: Schedule bulky item pickup with your waste hauler or take to the landfill.
5. Several states have mattress stewardship programs; check local collection rules rather than assuming every resident must recycle.
