Monroe County Landfill public drop-off for mattresses and box springs
Open to the public. The county's Solid Waste Department page announces "THE MONROE COUNTY LANDFILL IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!!" and, asked "Does the landfill accept trash from the public?", answers "Yes, the Monroe County Landfill is open to the public and are looking forward to working with residents." The separate restriction on the page - that the landfill "is open by agreement between Monroe County and the Town of Ridgeville only to permitted haulers/contractors" - governs the commercial hauler accounts described in that section, which carry a $1500.00 deposit on a new account, not the residential hours. The page refers to a residential permit application without stating whether one is required of a resident dropping off, or what it costs.
Conditions and source
A mattress or box spring brought to the office costs $20 each; the county states that one already broken down and brought to the office is free, and that a mattress found in a dumpster load and taken to the active site costs $53 each, added to the hauler's load ticket. Residential waste generally is $150 per ton, 7.5 cents per pound, with a $10 minimum. Residential hours are Monday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. from April through September, Monday 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from October through March, Tuesday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the first Saturday of the month 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., closed on county holidays and weekend holidays. The office and scale are open 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Payment is by credit card, check or cash.
- $0 — Monroe County's citizen Q and A lists a third mattress line below the $20 one: "If broke down and brought to office - FREE". A mattress the resident has already taken apart and brings to the office is accepted at no charge. The county does not say what counts as broken down.
- $20 — Monroe County lists among the items it takes all year round "Mattresses & Box springs: $20/ea. dropped off at office." Its citizen Q and A restates it as "If brought to the office to be broke down - $20/ea." The price is per mattress or per box spring.
- Plus $53 — Surcharge, and not a price a resident pays at the office. Monroe County states that a mattress or box spring "found in a dumpster load and taken to active site" costs "$53/ea. and added onto the load ticket of hauler" - that is, it is billed to the hauler who brought the load, not to someone who drops the mattress at the office for $20.
Not confirmed: Whether a resident must hold a county residential permit to use the public hours, and what that permit costs, is not published.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress broken down at the office is recycled or only kept off the active landfill face is not published.

What Monroe County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Sparta and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Monroe County runs no county collection of mattresses or other large items. Its Solid Waste Department page answers "How do I dispose of large items?" by sending residents elsewhere: "For demolition, full house clean outs or large items, please contact the appropriate Town or Village Clerk for the Town or Village you live in, for disposal site hours and large item dates. For City, village or township listing, refer to the Municipal Waste Collection Information tab below, or contact your municipality's contracted garbage hauler for options. Another option is to seek a roll-off contractor of your choice. You may also bring your items to the Monroe County Landfill." The county's own answer is therefore the landfill drop-off, plus whatever each town, village or city arranges for itself. The county also notes that there will be no set date for a fall clean sweep event "since we take those items all year long", and that the spring hazardous collection event is to be determined for 2027; neither is a mattress collection.

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.
