Effective July 1, 2026, the disposal fee for mattresses and box springs will increase to $60 per piece. This fee is for mattresses or box springs collected by special pick-up or disposed of at the Transfer Station.
This charge is necessary due to increased costs charged by the Riverview Land Preserve. Currently, the Riverview Land Preserve is charging us a disposal fee of $100 per mattress or box springs. To help reduce the financial impact on residents, the City of Trenton has elected to charge $60 per piece, absorbing a portion of the increased cost.
If you are purchasing a new mattress or box springs, we strongly encourage you to ask the retailer or delivery company whether they will remove and dispose of your old mattress and box springs as part of your purchase. Many retailers will offer this service, which may be a convenient and cost effective option.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to provide responsible waste disposal service for our community.

Duckling update - the last two ducklings who were rescued from the storm sewer this morning (after the mama left with the rest of the babies) were released in a nearby pond to live with another duck family. Such a happy ending!
