The city of North Bend is gearing up for an eco-friendly event that's all about sustainability and tidiness. For residents looking to dispose of their old mattresses and box springs, there's an opportunity to do so responsibly and save some landfill space while they're at it. A free mattress recycling collection event will be held on the North Bend Boardwalk on Saturday, August 9, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as announced in a recent city bulletin.
Located at 2000 Harbor Ave, the event calls on the Coos County residents to bring any size mattress or box spring – regardless of their condition, for proper recycling. However, those planning to participate should note that the event has set a specific guideline: "Mattresses & box springs only — any size, any condition," as stated on the North Bend's official website. Furthermore, air mattresses, crib mattresses, or other bedding items will not be accepted, so participants are advised to leave those at home.
The event imposes a limit; each household can drop off up to 5 units, ensuring the service is available to as many residents as possible. This recycling program is part of a larger commitment by the city to enhance environmental sustainability and reduce waste. It offers a free and convenient way for locals to rid themselves of bulky items that can be difficult to dispose of otherwise.
Individuals seeking more information about the mattress recycling event or other sustainability efforts in the area they can contact the provided phone number, (541) 756-1123. Alternatively, detailed inquiries and resources can be accessed through the website ByeByeMattress.com. Here, according to the bulletin on the city's news page, Coos County residents can plan their disposal process.
