Pierce County Recycling Center bulky waste drop-off for mattresses and box springs
Not published. The 2026 Pierce County Recycling Guide lists Bulky Waste Items as "Accepted at the Pierce County Recycling Center Year Round" with per-item prices and says nothing about residency. The "Residents Only" notes elsewhere in the guide attach to individual town and village compost and recycling sites, not to the county center's bulky waste program, so whether someone from outside Pierce County may use it was not established.
Conditions and source
Mattresses and box springs are taken year round at per-size prices: a crib mattress $5, a twin or single mattress $10, a full mattress $15, a full box spring $15, a queen or king mattress $20 and a queen or king box spring $20. Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed weekends and holidays; staff help unloading only between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Items must be visible and no black bags are accepted - anything bagged must be in clear bags. Kitchen garbage and food trash are not accepted, and large loads of construction or demolition debris are refused, though small mixed loads of bulky debris are viewed on site to set a price. Payment is cash or check only, and the county notes all prices are subject to change without notice. The same prices apply to mattresses brought in on Clean Sweep days.

What Pierce County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across River Falls and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Pierce County runs no collection of mattresses or other large items from the curb or the home. The Solid Waste / Recycling department page lists the department's duties as managing "the Solid Waste, Recycling, and Clean Sweep programs. Waste hauler licensing, investigate illegal burning and dumping complaints, review and determine approving one-time burial requests, special waste item (appliances, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, and tires) disposal" plus assistance and educational material - no collection service of any kind. Curbside recycling in the county is run municipality by municipality through private haulers, and the county's own answer for a mattress is the drop-off at its Recycling Center in Ellsworth, whose gates the page notes "are closed evenings at 4:30 and on weekends".
