Box-Spring & Mattress Fees
May 20, 2025
Effective Saturday May 24th, 2025 the price to dispose of box-springs and mattresses at the Town of Westmore Transfer Station will be increased to $50.00 per unit.
Information from Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District: These fees can be avoided by dismantling the mattress and/or the box-spring. Most units consist of an outer layer of cloth and a thin layer of foam attached to a steel or wooden frame. One of these items can generally be dismantled in about 15 minutes, using a claw hammer and a sheet rock knife or similar hand tool. The steel frame can be recycled as scrap metal and the cloth/foam can usually fit in 1 -2 garbage bags. The wood frames are generallyt untreated and can be used for kindling.
September 8th and 9th from 10AM to 2 PM. If you have questions- please call the Road Foreman at 802-624-6424.
Westmore Transfer Station No Longer Accepts Refrigerators, Freezers, AC Units, Car & Boat Batteries.
Residents are able to dispose of these items at the Lyndonville Recycling Center, 224 Church St, Lyndonville

The Town of Westmore is seeking public comments on the draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The public comment period will run from July 1 through July 21. A copy of the draft plan can be found on the Town's website here or a copy can be picked up at the town offices. Please submit comments to Stephanie Magnan of SEAM Solutions at steph.magnan@seamsolutionsvermont.com . The purpose of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is to identify local natural hazards that are a threat to the community, and outline mitigation actions to reduce vulnerability to these hazards. Maintaining an updated Hazard Mitigation Plan is one of the four requirements for Emergency Relief Assistance Fund (ERAF) status and is an eligibility requirement to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grants.
