2City curbside pickup in Spring Valley
Spring Valley’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
Spring Valley city-wide clean-up day - mattresses and box springs on the accepted list (most recent published day June 22, 2024)
Households in the City of Spring Valley, at the same curb where their weekly materials go. No booking is described; the city announces a date and collects on it. "Collection Time Begins at 7:00AM - have your material out by 6:00AM." For the 2024 day the city added that residents should "put cleanup items out in the same location as their weekly materials by 6:00 a.m." and that "only one stop will be made at each home". Contacts are Republic Services (815) 719-8151 and the City Clerk's Office (815) 664-4221.
The last date published for this was Jun 22, 2024, so it has passed.

LandComp Landfill drop-off, Ottawa
The only eligibility LaSalle County publishes is for recyclables: its 2024 solid waste plan says "recycling drop off is available for all LaSalle County residents at the LandComp Landfill". No residency rule, proof requirement or household self-haul rule is published for bringing waste to the gate, and the county does not say whether a private car may tip there at all.
Conditions and source
The county's Land Use Department names this as the site where "Much of the municipal waste that is generated in LaSalle County is delivered and disposed of", open Monday through Friday 6am to 3pm, with Saturday hours to be confirmed at 815-434-1808. Grundy County's Green Guide lists the same address as taking "municipal, non-hazardous and special waste" and "clean recyclables at no charge", and ends the entry "Call for details." Neither county publishes a gate rate, a minimum charge or a per-item fee, and neither states that a mattress is accepted. Ring before driving out.
Not confirmed: No mattress fee, per-item rate or minimum charge is published by anyone.
Not confirmed: Neither county states that a mattress specifically is accepted, only municipal waste generally.
Not confirmed: Whether a household may self-haul, and what proof or payment is needed at the scale, is not published.

What Bureau County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Spring Valley and its neighbors.
- Bureau County owns and runs no waste facility. Its own comprehensive plan states: "Bureau County has no active landfills. A solid waste transfer station located in Princeton accepts waste from local haulers for transfer to out-of-county landfills." On recycling it states: "There are no county-wide requirements for recycling of recyclable solid waste material; however, curbside recycling is available to some Bureau County residents, and the City of Princeton operates a drop-off recycling facility that is available to all Bureau County residents." The Princeton transfer station is described as taking waste from haulers, not from households, and the Princeton drop-off is for recyclables. The county names no site of its own that a resident could take a mattress to. Source Not confirmed: Whether the Princeton transfer station accepts household self-haul, and at what price, is not stated by the county. Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress fee for any site.
- Bureau County runs no bulky-item or large-item collection and has no solid waste department; the single waste program it publishes is an electronics recycling event. Its own page gives the details: the collection is held at the Bureau County Highway Department, 595 Elm Place, Princeton, Illinois, on a Saturday in October "from 9:00am until 12:00 Noon (or when semi-trucks fill to capacity)". "Proof of Bureau County residency required (driver's license, voters ID card, recent utility bill)", with a "TOTAL limit of SEVEN (7) items", and no charge. The accepted list is electronics only - computers, printers, televisions, microwaves, cameras, speakers, power tools and similar - and the page expressly refuses white goods: "Refrigerators / Freezers / Stoves" and "Washing Machines / Dryers", along with dishwashers, air conditioners, water heaters, batteries and fluorescent bulbs. Furniture and mattresses are not among the items it takes. Source Not confirmed: The page gives the event as "Saturday, October 24th" and the year is not stated consistently, so the next date should be reconfirmed with the county.
Illinois mattress disposal rules
- Residential body says Saturday 8–2; same-page footer says 9–1. Both show weekdays 8–4. No Saturday schedule selected. Source
- Locator retains Landfill 33 Saturday 7 a.m.–11 p.m. exactly as printed; implausible closing time requires confirmation. Two Columbus District Office cards are distinct OH and IN addresses, not duplicates. Source
- Illinois EPA recycling page offers a 'Beyond The Bin' ArcGIS map of recycling locations, an Earth911 ZIP locator and the Recycle Coach app (statewide partnership since 2025). No mattress stewardship program mentioned. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Illinois EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
- There is no state mattress recycling program in Illinois, and the absence is worth stating plainly because the four states that have one give residents free drop-off. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, lists its programs on its own Programs page as operating in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island. Illinois is not among them. Three things follow for an Illinois resident: no recycling fee is charged on an Illinois mattress sale, there is no MRC-funded free drop-off anywhere in the state, and nothing obliges a retailer, hauler or municipality to recycle a mattress rather than landfill it. Recycling in Illinois is therefore a private arrangement wherever it exists at all — the drop-offs and recyclers listed on this page are businesses and charities choosing to do it, not a program a resident is entitled to.
