Cheapest
Resource Renew Materials Recovery Center — mattress and box spring drop-off
A self-service facility for residents and small commercial customers. The page states no residency requirement. Businesses are capped at ten appliances, five electronics and twenty tires a day and must be using the items in daily operations; retailers and repair shops are excluded, and other businesses must contract with a licensed hauler, though rural businesses without curbside recycling may bring up to three cubic yards of recyclables per visit.
Conditions and source
Mattresses and box springs cost $25 each, whether dry or wet. Resource Renew asks that they be kept dry, stating that dry pieces are recycled and keep material out of landfill; the fee is the same either way and the page does not say what happens to a wet one. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and on listed holidays. Payment by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover. The rest of the schedule: mixed waste, including household junk and mixed construction and demolition loads, $30 per cubic yard; pallets and clean wood $10 per cubic yard; vacuum cleaners $2 each; one microwave free per day, then $5 each for further microwaves and other major appliances; four passenger or pickup tires free per day, then $4 each; electronics $2 to $15 each by type and screen size, with small electronics and rechargeable batteries free. Household recyclables, scrap metal, food waste in compostable bags, clean film plastic, holiday lights and cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and most small electric appliances are free. Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted here.
Not confirmed: The page states no residency requirement and does not say whether someone from outside the district pays a different rate.
Not confirmed: It says dry pieces are recycled but does not say what happens to a wet mattress, which is charged the same $25.

Resource Renew (WLSSD) — Using the Materials Recovery Center
$25
Visit siteCity of Superior landfill mattress drop-off, the option Douglas County names ($25 clean and dry, $30 wet or dirty)
Douglas County points every resident here: "Mattresses may be disposed of at the Superior Moccasin Mike Landfill." The landfill itself is the City of Superior's, not the county's, and the city's own page carries a restriction it is important to read before driving out: only large commercial vehicles holding a Wisconsin DNR Waste Transport license may dispose of garbage at the landfill, and everyone else is directed to Core Advantage in Superior or to WLSSD in Duluth. That restriction is written about garbage; on the same page mattresses and box springs are priced per piece and tires are priced at a rate the city labels residential. The city never says in so many words whether a household may bring a mattress to the gate in its own vehicle, so call (715) 398-7222 first. For larger quantities or businesses the county points instead to Goodwill Industries in Duluth at 218-722-6351.
Conditions and source
The city prices the item per piece: "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)" at "Recyclable (clean and dry) $25" and "Non-recyclable (wet or dirty) $30". Douglas County publishes the same two figures, marked "as of 9/4/2024", and spells out what moves a mattress from one rate to the other: mattresses and box springs "must be relatively clean and completely dry upon arrival at landfill" to count as recyclable. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and "No loads are accepted at 2:40 p.m." Residential tires are $6 each without rims and $9 each with rims; oversized tires over 100 lbs are $355 per ton, limited to ten or fewer. Asbestos is $64.00 per cubic yard and needs advance notice and approval. The site is on Moccasin Mike Road, off Highways 2 and 53, about 1.5 miles east of Highway 53.
- $25 — The City of Superior's own landfill page, under "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)": "Recyclable (clean and dry) $25". Douglas County publishes the same $25 for a recyclable mattress, marked "as of 9/4/2024", and says mattresses and box springs "must be relatively clean and completely dry upon arrival at landfill" to qualify.
- $30 — The City of Superior's own landfill page, under "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)": "Non-recyclable (wet or dirty) $30". Douglas County publishes the same $30, marked "as of 9/4/2024". A mattress that arrives wet or dirty pays this instead of the $25 rate.
Not confirmed: The city's licensed-hauler restriction applies to garbage and the city never says whether a household may self-haul a mattress to the gate, so acceptance of a private vehicle is not established.
Not confirmed: Both mattress figures are stamped "as of 9/4/2024" by the county and no more recent city rate card was found.
Not confirmed: The city publishes no street number, only "Off Hwys 2 & 53, Moccasin Mike Rd."
Not confirmed: No Saturday hours are published on the city's landfill page.
Not confirmed: Neither page says whether a mattress taken at the recyclable rate is actually recycled.
Not confirmed: This is the City of Superior's own facility, recorded here because Douglas County publishes it as the county-wide answer and prices it; the city pass will reach the same page.

Minnesota mattress disposal rules
- Pricing webpage states $40 residential single-truck curbside charge plus item fees and 2% credit/debit processing. Its linked PDF states $45 instead. Emergency pickup has no set price. Source
- Price sheet wet-item surcharge and program pages requiring dry items/refusing wet or contaminated mattresses leave standard versus promotional acceptance scope unresolved. PDF $45 standard truck fee also differs from pricing webpage $40. Source
- Pricing introduction calls prices drop-off base fees, but mattress and box-spring rows each show $35 and a parenthetical $30 drop-off price. Pickup adds a ZIP-based collection fee; home/building removal is separately $50. Crib mattress $15, topper $10, metal frame $10. No pickup total or scope of $50 charge inferred. Source
