RDS Ferndale mattress and box spring recycling drop-off
Open to the public every day; identification or local residency is not required, so residents of Bellingham, Lynden, Blaine and unincorporated Whatcom County may use it as well as Ferndale's own.
Conditions and source
Open seven days a week, 7.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., at 4916 Labounty Drive, Ferndale. A per-item recycling fee applies to each mattress and each box spring, after which a non-profit recycler deconstructs the item and recycles the materials it contains. A customer who prefers not to pay the recycling fee may instead dispose of the mattress at the site's standard disposal rates. The program has run since November 2024.
Not confirmed: RDS publishes no standard per-ton or minimum disposal rate, so the cheaper disposal alternative has no figure

What Ferndale itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Ferndale runs no collection of its own but makes it compulsory: "Residents of Ferndale are required to have garbage / recycling service at their residence. Our provider is Sanitary Service Company." The city lists garbage and recycling among the utilities managed by other providers and gives SSC's number as 360-734-3490. It publishes no rate schedule, no bulky item program and no mattress rule. Source Not confirmed: Ferndale publishes no bulky item rate and no set-out ordinance text; its municipal code chapter 8.04 is on Code Publishing, which refused automated access
What Whatcom County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Ferndale and its neighbors.
- Whatcom County WA states that its garbage and recycling system is privatised: three companies (Sanitary Service Company, Nooksack Valley Disposal and Cando Recycling and Disposal) provide hauling, and 'There are no open landfills in Whatcom County', but residents may self-haul to one of seven transfer station or drop-box locations: Birch Bay Recycling (SSC), 4297 Birch Bay-Lynden Road, Blaine, Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Cando Recycling & Disposal, 2005 Johnson Road, Point Roberts, Thursdays and Sundays noon-4 p.m. (summer also Tuesdays); Cedarville Recycling (SSC), Cedarville Road, Everson, Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Nooksack Valley Disposal, 250 Birch Bay-Lynden Road, Lynden, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-noon; Recycling & Disposal Services, 4916 LaBounty Place, Ferndale, daily 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Republic Services, 1524 Slater Road, Ferndale, daily 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sanitary Service Company, 1001 Roeder Avenue, Bellingham, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Source Not confirmed: All seven sites are privately operated; the county publishes no prices, no mattress-specific rule and no residency requirement for them
- Whatcom County WA's Waste Disposal page describes the county's solid waste role as regulatory and planning only: reviewing applications and permits for solid waste facilities, inspecting them, enforcing local and state rules, investigating illegal dumping, overseeing biosolids and biomedical waste, and providing information about composting, recycling and household hazardous waste, under the Comprehensive Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan. County code 8.10 and 24.06 require residents and businesses to manage their own garbage so that it does not become a nuisance. Source Not confirmed: The county runs no disposal facility of its own and publishes no county bulky item collection, voucher or free dump day
Washington mattress disposal rules
- County warehouse referral has Everett locality and 425-931-3670; primary operator now directs drop-off to Mukilteo and uses 425-876-0107. County directory appears stale for this referral. Source
- No enacted Washington mattress stewardship law found. SB 6271 (2026; companion HB 2633) would create mattress producer responsibility organizations; referred to Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Jan 21, 2026, public hearing Feb 4, 2026, no later action shown. Source
- Ecology's 1-800-RECYCLE locator (1800recycle.wa.gov) lists 'Home & Garden - Mattresses' as a searchable material; hotline 1-800-732-9253, Mon-Fri 9am-3pm. Ecology's How to Recycle page also directs residents to county or city solid waste officials. Source
- There is no mattress recycling program in Washington State, and the absence is worth stating because both neighbors have one. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, says of itself: "We currently provide resources, education and support for programs in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island." Washington is not among them. A Washington resident has no free state-funded drop-off of the kind an Oregonian twenty miles away in Milton-Freewater or Hermiston has, and no Bye Bye Mattress collection site to look up. What the county charges at the gate is what the resident actually pays. Source
