Mattress Disposal in Mashpee, MA: $30 Gate Fee, Rules

The town fee and the state ban

The Bulky Waste Fees page lists Mattresses/Box Springs: $30. The Recycling page also names mattresses and box springs as accepted for a fee. The reason it matters: MassDEP says mattresses are banned from disposal or transport for disposal in Massachusetts. They can't go in a bag, a dumpster or the hopper.

The town does not say whether a box spring that comes apart counts as one or two, so ask at the gate. A queen set is two pieces at $30 each on the posted list, $60 before the pass.

What a one-time visit really costs

The gate needs a sticker or pass. If you do not have a household permit ($280 for the first household), the single-trip pass is $25 Add the $30 mattress fee and one mattress costs $55 to dump, two pieces $85, before you drive to Asher's Path. The page says to pay the gate attendant on entry; the gate takes check or cash only.

The station is closed Monday and Tuesday and on the listed holidays, so a mattress left by Saturday-to-Saturday renters on a Sunday has until 4 p.m. to be moved, then waits until Wednesday.

Rental cottages and the end-of-season mattress

Owners of short-term rentals in Mashpee need a Board of Health rental certificate, and short-term rentals are required to have an annual inspection. When a mattress is replaced between guests, the old one still has to go to the station or a hauler, not the trash.

JUNKRUN takes mattresses straight from the bedroom with the recycling fee included: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129; box springs $59 to $99. A queen set is $188. Text a photo with the size and floor. No travel fee.
