Nearest
Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Management District CHARM mattress drop-off
Residents of the district's member towns in northern Berkshire County, using their own town transfer station; the district tells residents to contact the director to 'inquire about specific CHARM items accepted at your transfer station'. Massachusetts counties have no waste function, so this district and the member towns are the only public route.
Conditions and source
Mattresses are listed among the materials accepted through the district's C.H.A.R.M. (Center for Hard to Recycle Materials) program. Drop-off happens at member-town transfer stations rather than at the district office (3 Hoosac St, Adams; 413-743-8208).
Not confirmed: Which member transfer stations take mattresses, and the fee charged, are on a downloadable flyer or given by phone — not published as text

What Berkshire County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across North Adams and its neighbors.
- Pittsfield's mattress recycling page states that as of November 1, 2022 MassDEP added mattresses and textiles to the materials banned from disposal, amending 310 CMR 19.000, and that over 75% of a mattress can be recycled. This is why Berkshire County towns route mattresses to recycling rather than the trash. Source
- There is no Berkshire County bulky-item collection: Massachusetts counties have no solid-waste function, and bulky/mattress collection is arranged town by town (Pittsfield publishes a mattress recycling page and a residential transfer-station drop-off rather than a county service). Source Not confirmed: Pittsfield's curbside mattress collection partner and its per-unit price are not stated in the page text reviewed
Massachusetts mattress disposal rules
- State survey labels Concord Event, while its primary mattress page provides recurring appointment drop-off and monthly pickup. Keep the incoming event label as historical survey evidence; it must not restrict current research to events. Source
- Residents outside served towns may arrange drop-off: $30 per unit, generally Tue/Thu 8:30am-2:30pm. Receiving address supplied only after email. Page describes facility in Lawrence; original national directory lists Haverhill. Source
- FAQ says $35 at both branches and gives resale Mon-Sun 9am-7pm, conflicting with service page $40 and Mon-Sat 9am-5pm; FAQ also states Mon-Sat 9am-5pm elsewhere. Resale ZIP 02744 differs from service page 02745. FAQ allows arranged disposal of non-recyclable units for extra fee; service page rejects them at pickup. Recycling recovers 75-80% by weight, not guaranteed complete diversion. Source
- Fitchburg operator closes 3pm versus MRC card 126 3:30pm. Operator charges drop-off fees; card labels free drop-off but separately says not a program participant and fees may apply. Preserve contradictory directory fields without promoting a free service. Source
- MassDEP: effective November 1, 2022, mattresses are banned from disposal or transport for disposal in Massachusetts. MassDEP offers municipalities a Contaminated Mattress Certification Form, bill-of-lading example, and ban-compliance guidance. Source
- MassDEP resident guidance: donate good-condition mattresses via the MassDEP Beyond the Bin Recycling Directory, use retailer haul-away on delivery, or contact the local health, public works, or recycling department about town collection. Municipalities may use Recycling Dividends Program funds and statewide contract FAC90 for mattress recycling. Source
- MassDEP says most furniture and mattress sellers accept old mattresses for recycling/disposal when delivering new ones; framed as advice, not a statutory retailer take-back mandate. Source
- No Massachusetts mattress stewardship program is in effect. H.1023 (194th session, An Act to establish a mattress recycling program) was reported favorably and referred to House Ways and Means on August 11, 2025; no enactment shown. Source
