Dakota County is rolling out a special deal for its residents looking to dispose of old mattresses and box springs. From Memorial Day all the way through October 1, those in the county can schedule a curbside pick-up of these bulky bedroom mainstays, courtesy of a collaboration with Certified Recycling. The price to haul away these sleep surfaces? A palatable $60 for the first mattress or box spring and $40 for every additional one, as indicated on the Dakota County website.
The arrangement has been set up with no limit to the quantity that can be collected, a boon for those looking to clear out more than just a single item. To take advantage of this offer, residents just need to dial 952-894-1448 or visit Certified Recycling’s online portal. It’s a straightforward opportunity for individuals to bid adieu to their worn-out mattresses and, in turn, give them new life beyond the confines of their bedrooms.

As a thoughtful extension of this process, those items that still have some slumber left in them – the gently used ones – are picked out and donated to Bridging. This non-profit organization then extends these quality goods to people grappling with furnishing their homes, as per Dakota County’s announcement…
