How to get rid of a mattress in Superior, WI.

The city prices the item per piece: "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)" at "Recyclable (clean and dry) $25" and "Non-recyclable (wet or dirty) $30". Douglas County publishes the same two figures, marked "as of 9/4/2024", and spells out what moves a mattress from one rate to the other: mattresses and box springs "must be relatively clean and completely dry upon arrival at landfill" to count as recyclable. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and "No loads are accepted at 2:40 p.m." Residential tires are $6 each without rims and $9 each with rims; oversized tires over 100 lbs are $355 per ton, limited to ten or fewer. Asbestos is $64.00 per cubic yard and needs advance notice and approval. The site is on Moccasin Mike Road, off Highways 2 and 53, about 1.5 miles east of Highway 53.

• $25 — The City of Superior's own landfill page, under "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)": "Recyclable (clean and dry) $25". Douglas County publishes the same $25 for a recyclable mattress, marked "as of 9/4/2024", and says mattresses and box springs "must be relatively clean and completely dry upon arrival at landfill" to qualify.
• $30 — The City of Superior's own landfill page, under "Mattresses/Box Springs (per piece)": "Non-recyclable (wet or dirty) $30". Douglas County publishes the same $30, marked "as of 9/4/2024". A mattress that arrives wet or dirty pays this instead of the $25 rate.

Not confirmed: The city's licensed-hauler restriction applies to garbage and the city never says whether a household may self-haul a mattress to the gate, so acceptance of a private vehicle is not established.

Not confirmed: Both mattress figures are stamped "as of 9/4/2024" by the county and no more recent city rate card was found.

Not confirmed: The city publishes no street number, only "Off Hwys 2 & 53, Moccasin Mike Rd."

Not confirmed: No Saturday hours are published on the city's landfill page.

Not confirmed: Neither page says whether a mattress taken at the recyclable rate is actually recycled.

Not confirmed: This is the City of Superior's own facility, recorded here because Douglas County publishes it as the county-wide answer and prices it; the city pass will reach the same page.

Mattresses & Boxsprings — Douglas County, WI Recycling

Mattresses and box springs cost $25 each, whether dry or wet. Resource Renew asks that they be kept dry, stating that dry pieces are recycled and keep material out of landfill; the fee is the same either way and the page does not say what happens to a wet one. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and on listed holidays. Payment by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover. The rest of the schedule: mixed waste, including household junk and mixed construction and demolition loads, $30 per cubic yard; pallets and clean wood $10 per cubic yard; vacuum cleaners $2 each; one microwave free per day, then $5 each for further microwaves and other major appliances; four passenger or pickup tires free per day, then $4 each; electronics $2 to $15 each by type and screen size, with small electronics and rechargeable batteries free.

Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted here.

Not confirmed: The page states no residency requirement and does not say whether someone from outside the district pays a different rate.

Resource Renew (WLSSD) — Using the Materials Recovery Center

The Village of Solon Springs' own fee list marks "Mattresses/Box Springs" as accepted with an additional fee, and points to a separate price list "Effective April 1, 2022" which it does not reproduce — so no dollar amount is published anywhere for a mattress here. Household garbage, recyclables, brush and leaves, metal, and rechargeable and lithium batteries carry no additional fee for permit holders; appliances, freon appliances, furniture, mattresses and box springs, tires, oil filters, demolition material, concrete and stumps all do. Electronics and household hazardous waste are not accepted; the village sends electronics to Afterlife Electronics Graveyard, 915 John Avenue, Superior, and household hazardous waste to the county's annual Operation Clean Sweep, usually June through September. Hours from the county's listing: summer, April 1 to September 30, Monday noon to 6:00 PM, Wednesday noon to 7:00 PM, Friday noon to 6:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM; winter, October 1 to April 1, the same without Friday. Phone (715) 816-4223.

Not confirmed: No price is published for a mattress, for permit holders or for anyone else — both the county and the village say only that an additional fee applies and that non-permit holders pay more.

Not confirmed: The village's linked price list effective April 1, 2022 could not be read, and may be out of date in any case.

Not confirmed: The village gives no street address of its own; the address here is the county's description of the site.

Not confirmed: The village's current hours are published only inside an image on its page, so the county's listing is used instead.

Not confirmed: The cost of a Solon Springs permit, and whether a renter rather than a property owner can hold one, is not published.
