Erie County Landfill mattress and box spring drop-off
The county's landfill rules say the landfill "may be used by" Erie County residents and businesses, and commercial refuse haulers holding a service agreement with the Solid Waste Management District. Waste from outside the county is taken only under an agreement with the County Commissioners and with approval from the originating district. No ID requirement is published.
Conditions and source
The mattress charge is an addition to the charge for the load. The rate schedule, adopted by Resolution 23-66, reads "$10.00 additional charge for each mattress, box spring, and sofa bed with mattress." and "A surcharge of $40.00/mattress will be added over ten mattresses." A "Small Vehicle Loads (cars, vans, pick-ups, small trailers)" trip is $10.00 for 400 pounds or less and $20.00 for 401 to 800 pounds; over 800 pounds the load is charged at the municipal solid waste rate of $52.00 per ton. Every load must be tarped or secured, or $10.00 is added. Open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, closed Sundays and on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day; the site also closes for the day once it reaches its 1,200 ton daily limit. Scale house (419) 433-5023. Cash, personal or business checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover are taken, with a $2 convenience fee on cards. This is a sanitary landfill: the county publishes no mattress recycling route.
- $10 — Each mattress, box spring, or sofa bed with mattress, as printed among the landfill's special charges: "$10.00 additional charge for each mattress, box spring, and sofa bed with mattress." It is additional to the charge for the load. Rates adopted by Resolution 23-66.
- $10 — Charge for the load itself, which the per-mattress fee is added to: "Small Vehicle Loads (cars, vans, pick-ups, small trailers)" of 400 pounds or less is $10.00. A load of 401 to 800 pounds is $20.00, and over 800 pounds is charged at the municipal solid waste rate of $52.00 per ton.
- Plus $40 — Surcharge for each mattress past the tenth: "A surcharge of $40.00/mattress will be added over ten mattresses."
Not confirmed: The county does not say whether a mattress taken here is recycled or buried, and publishes no mattress recycling program; a landfill charge is recorded as disposal.
Not confirmed: The county prints the street number as 10102, 10105 and 10101 Hoover Road on three of its own pages, so the exact number should be confirmed before a trip.
Not confirmed: No ID or proof-of-residency check is described, so how the residents-and-businesses rule is applied at the scale house is not published.

Supplemental charges can apply, including a $50.00 rejected load fee and a $100.00 hard to handle or burial fee.
Not confirmed: The gate rate schedule is dated 2023 and no later one is published, so the current price is not confirmed

What Erie County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Huron and its neighbors.
- Erie County, Ohio runs no bulky item collection and no curbside pickup of any kind, so there is no county program to come and take a mattress from the curb anywhere in the county. The Solid Waste Management District's own pages cover the landfill, drop-off locations, curbside recycling run by the municipalities, household hazardous waste, electronics, organics, medical waste, education and outreach, and business and industry — none of them a large item collection, and none of them naming mattresses, bedding or box springs. The district's drop-off network is for containers and paper only: the list gives the Erie County Sanitary Landfill on Hoover Road in Milan Township, the Groton Township Services Building at 9414 Portland Road and the Sandusky Services Center at 1024 Cement Avenue in Sandusky, and tells users they may recycle "GLASS, CANS, PLASTIC, CARDBOARD and PAPER" if the items are "EMPTY, CLEAN AND DRY", with paper-only boxes at St Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church, 15617 Mason Rd., Vermilion, Grace United Methodist Church, 13406 W. Lake Rd., Vermilion, and Birmingham United Methodist Church, 15018 South St., Wakeman. The Sandusky Services Center is run by the City of Sandusky Commissioners and the county marks it "City of Sandusky residents only", (419) 627-5844; that is a city program and belongs on the city's own page. The district also records that the Margaretta Township garage drop-off closed as of September 30, 2026 and directs those residents to the Erie County Landfill instead. The district's household non-hazardous waste page sends doors, vanities and windows to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 11001 U.S. 250, Milan, (419) 602-1205, but says nothing about mattresses or furniture. Source Not confirmed: Whether the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Milan takes a mattress is not stated by the county and was not researched here.
Ohio mattress disposal rules
- Primary names Harvard Avenue Transfer Station at 3227 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights OH 44105; district calls it Harvard Road at 3227 Harvard Road. Same number, city and operator support an identity candidate, but street suffix discrepancy retained. Source
- Hamilton municipal FAQ says transfer-station large-item intake Monday–Saturday. Existing Rumpke operator-locator staging record 07c7c0690194a830d775d57e lists Monday–Friday 8am–3:45pm at the same 1000 N Third Street address and phone 513-867-8661. This is an hours discrepancy, not grounds to merge unrelated branches. Source
- Ohio EPA Solid Waste Management District Locator (GIS app): select a county to see its Solid Waste Management District; the underlying layer covers all 88 counties. SWMDs are the local contact for recycling and disposal. Source
- Ohio EPA's "Where to Recycle" page names the three statewide tools it offers residents: the Ohio EPA Recycling Directory (a searchable directory of service providers who volunteered to be listed), the solid waste management district locator map, and the Ohio Materials Marketplace for businesses. It states that recycling and litter prevention activities are controlled locally through the county's solid waste management district, which "can help with information such as ... where to take hard to recycle items". Note the agency site now serves these pages under the /wps/portal/gov/epa/ path; the bare /divisions-and-offices/... URLs 404 when requested directly. Source
- The Ohio EPA Recycling Directory is hosted on RecycleSearch (Re-TRAC) and is searchable by free text or by pre-set material categories after setting a location. Its own text says results may include curbside recycling programs, drop-off recycling locations, reuse stores and other service providers, and that listing is not an endorsement. Its FAQ states the directory "is in the process of being populated" and that some areas of the state may have no information available, directing residents to their local solid waste management district instead. Listings are managed by Ohio EPA and the districts. Source
- No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Ohio EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments and county solid waste management districts. The agency's own site search for "mattress" returns only 4 resources, none of them mattress-related (Revised Total Coliform Rule, Underground Injection Control, operator exam information and a Trauma Scene Clean-Up fact sheet). The Materials and Waste Management division pages cover solid waste, infectious waste, scrap tires and C&DD, with no mattress or bulky-item program. Source
- Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Ohio is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Ohio. Source

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
