New York mattress disposal rules

These apply anywhere in New York. Each one links to the page it came from.

  • Linked document is headed Adopted Fees for 2026, despite 2025 in URL. Text specifies $25 five-punch card; day-use tipping $145/ton with $30 minimum. Punch-card webpage instead lists $140/ton at scalehouse. Weight-based pricing remains a source conflict; no mattress-only total is calculated. Source
  • No New York mattress stewardship program in effect. S1463B (mattress EPR; same-as A1209) passed the Senate (April 21, 2026; again June 4, 2026 after amendment) and is in Assembly Ways and Means; not signed. As drafted: producer plans due to DEC by Dec 31, 2028; retailer sales restriction from Dec 31, 2029. Source
  • NYSDEC publishes a statewide county-by-county list of Local Recycling Coordinators and regional DEC recycling contacts to help residents with reuse, recycling, and garbage questions; DEC reuse pages point to the NYS Reuse Locator Map. No statewide mattress landfill ban found on DEC recycling pages. Source

How these guides are made

  • Every listing is read off the provider's own page, dated, and approved for publication by a named person.
  • Nothing is inferred: where a fee or a rule is not published, the page says so rather than guessing.
