SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): The Town of Cheshire will hold its next free Electronics and Mattress Recycling Event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, at 1304 Waterbury Road, the site of the town’s former transfer station. The initiative aims to provide residents with a convenient and environmentally responsible way to dispose of unwanted items.

Officials noted that the recycling drives are typically organized monthly on the second Saturday, although schedules may occasionally change due to holidays, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Residents may drop off mattresses and box springs for recycling.
