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.
