How to get rid of a mattress in Midway, UT.

Charges are by load, not by item: "$56 per Ton", with a "$20 Secured Load Minimum Charge (EX: Tarped or strapped)" and a "$25 Non-Secure Minimum Charge (EX: Not tarped or strapped)", so a tarped car or pickup load containing a mattress costs $20 at the minimum. Metal and oil recycling are free. Open 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday, excluding legal holidays; the phone is 435-657-3280. The county's refusal list is "Dirt, Sod, Rocks, Sand, Concrete, Bricks, Gravel, Large Tree Limbs, Large Tree Trunks, Propane Tanks" — a mattress is not on it, and the district's own curbside guidelines direct "Large bulky items such as appliances, furniture, or metal objects" to this station with the instruction "(Take these items to Transfer Station)". A refrigerator or freezer "Must be fully drained of Freon/Refrigerant before drop-off" and "Must have a certification of visible technician tag showing the refrigerant has been legally recovered". Propane tanks are not accepted at all.

• $20 — Minimum charge for a secured load, tarped or strapped; the county publishes no per-item mattress fee, so this load minimum is what a single tarped mattress load costs. Loads over the minimum are charged at $56 per ton.
• Plus $25 — Surcharge: minimum charge for a load that is not tarped or strapped, $5 above the secured minimum.

Not confirmed: The county never names a mattress or a box spring anywhere on its site. Acceptance rests on the station being open to the public for items too big for the cart, on bulky furniture being directed here, and on mattresses being absent from an otherwise specific refusal list — not on a published statement that mattresses are taken.

Not confirmed: No per-item mattress fee is published, and none should be assumed; the $20 and $25 figures are load minimums that apply to any load.

Not confirmed: The rates carry no effective date and no link to an adopted schedule.

Not confirmed: No outcome is published: the county does not say where the transferred waste goes, or whether anything beyond metal and oil is recycled.

Not confirmed: No bed-bug, wrapping or bagging rule is published, and no per-visit limit.

Guidelines - Wasatch County Solid Waste Special District

Mattresses are accepted outright: asked "Do you accept mattresses?" the district answers "Yes, we accept mattresses." The first mattress costs $10.00 for a resident of one of the nine listed participating cities; every other mattress, including the first for anyone else, is "$20.00 each", and loads of 25 or more are billed at $500.00 per ton. A load of mixed waste under 500 pounds carries a minimum of $13.00 from a participating city and $26.00 otherwise. Cover the load: "Double Charge of All Non-Covered and Unsecured Loads. $13.00 minimum / $50.00 maximum. This is a STATE LAW." Hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and Saturday 7:30 am to 3:30 pm, closed New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, closing early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and at 2:30 p.m. for an annual employee holiday social in December. Payment is by credit card or exact cash; checks are no longer accepted. A refrigerator or anything else containing refrigerant adds $15.00 per unit, household electronics are $10.00 an item, and a $5.00 weigh fee applies per weigh. The district ships its transfer station waste to the Bayview Landfill near Elberta, Monday through Friday, more than 600 tons a day; the Bayview site itself is closed to the public.

• $10 — First mattress, available only to residents of the nine participating cities the district lists: "1st Mattress (Only for Residents living in American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lehi, Lindon, Orem, Pleasant Grove, Saratoga Springs and Vineyared."
• $13 — Minimum mixed-waste charge for a load of 500 pounds or less from a participating city (Orem, Vineyard, Pleasant Grove, Lindon, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lehi, Saratoga Springs).
• $26 — Minimum mixed-waste charge for a load of 500 pounds or less from a non-participating customer; the district names Alpine, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Fort and Fairfield as non-participating cities.
• Plus $13 — Surcharge: an uncovered or unsecured load is charged double, with a $13.00 minimum and a $50.00 maximum, which the district attributes to state law.
• Plus $20 — Each additional mattress, and every mattress brought by anyone who does not live in one of the nine listed cities: "All Other Mattresses $20.00 each".

Not confirmed: The district does not say whether the $10.00 first-mattress rate replaces the $13.00 minimum load charge or is added to it, so the total a participating-city resident pays for one mattress is not established.

Not confirmed: No rule is published on whether a box spring counts as a mattress, nor whether a mattress and box spring together are one unit or two.

Not confirmed: The fee schedule carries no effective date, and the district has advertised a public hearing on a 2027 fee increase for November 16, 2026, so these figures may not hold.

Not confirmed: No outcome is published: the district says its waste goes to the Bayview landfill but does not say whether a mattress is landfilled or recycled.

Not confirmed: The schedule authorizes a special handling fee of $60.00 per ton with a $60 minimum "for any type of waste in addition to regular fee" without saying whether it can be applied to a mattress.

Not confirmed: No bed-bug, wrapping or bagging rule for a mattress appears anywhere on the district's site, and no per-visit mattress limit is published.

Open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed Sundays, New Years Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. A non-commercial vehicle of 0 to 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight pays a $20.00 minimum on entry; gross vehicle weight "includes the weight of the vehicle, trailer, and all contents". Anything over 10,001 pounds is weighed in and out and charged a pro-rated share of the $51.00 per ton gate rate, with a credit card or ID held at the scalehouse until the outbound weigh. Mattresses and box springs are charged "$15.00 for each piece", with nothing included in the minimum, and "Mattresses and box springs are counted individually (i.e. a regular bed set with a box spring and a mattress would be 2 total pieces)" — so a bed set costs the $20.00 minimum plus $30.00. The operator dates that change: "As of July 1, 2026 each mattress piece will be charged at the Sandy Transfer Station." The same two pieces cost $15.00 in total at Trans-Jordan's South Jordan landfill, where the minimum covers the first three pieces. Every load "MUST be fully tarped and secured or a double fee will apply", the penalty being equal to the standard rate and applying even to fully recyclable loads. Residential tires are $4.00 off the rim and $5.00 on the rim, limit 4 per day; Freon units are $20.00 and commercial units are refused. Sorted, clean recycling is free to residents if the customer stops at the scalehouse first, while a recyclable load from a commercial customer is $50.00. Household hazardous waste and electronic waste go to the Salt Lake County Health Department facility at the same entrance off 700 West, the first building. The site refuses asbestos, dead animals, liquid loads, septic loads, business solar panels, unopened drums, firearms, explosives and any registered item such as a vehicle, trailer, camp trailer, motorcycle, ATV or boat. Children and pets must stay in vehicles, no firearms are allowed and there is no scavenging or salvaging.

• $15 — Each mattress or box spring piece, counted individually, in addition to the minimum charge. As of July 1, 2026 every piece is charged at the Sandy Transfer Station.
• $20 — Minimum charge on entry for a non-commercial vehicle of 0 to 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight; nothing is included in it for a mattress. Heavier vehicles are weighed in and out against a $51.00 per ton gate rate.

Not confirmed: No residency rule is published, so whether a household outside the eight member cities pays the same $20.00 minimum, or may be refused, is not established in the operator's own words.

Not confirmed: The operator does not say whether a mattress dropped here is recycled or hauled to a landfill, so no outcome is established.

Not confirmed: Trans-Jordan's shared Disposal FAQ still says "The first 3 units (mattress or box spring) is included in your base fee" without naming a facility; that has applied only at the South Jordan landfill since July 1, 2026, the FAQ carries no date, and which page a scalehouse would follow is not established.

Not confirmed: No bagging, wrapping or bed-bug rule is published for a mattress, and no limit on the number of mattress pieces per visit is stated.

Not confirmed: No postal-code-level confirmation of the address appears in the operator's text beyond "8813 South 700 West, Sandy, UT 84070", and no effective date is published for the $51.00 per ton or $20.00 minimum rates.
