New Mattress Recycling Facility Opens in Crook County, Oregon

MONTREAL (RecyclingMonster): Crook County residents now have access to a free, year-round mattress recycling drop-off site following the opening of a new collection facility at the Prineville Recycling Depot.

First Permanent Mattress Recycling Site Opens in Crook County

The new drop-off site marks the first permanent mattress recycling facility in Crook County. The program was launched by Republic Services in partnership with the Mattress Recycling Council’s Bye Bye Mattress program to expand recycling access and reduce landfill waste in the region.

Prineville Depot Will Accept Mattresses Weekdays

The depot is located at 1751 N. Main Street in Prineville and will accept unwanted mattresses and box springs Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Collected units will be dismantled into recyclable materials including steel, foam, fibers, and wood for use in products such as carpet padding, insulation, biomass fuel, and new steel goods.

Part of Oregon’s Statewide Stewardship Program

The facility is part of Oregon’s growing mattress stewardship network established under the Mattress Stewardship Act of 2022. RecyclingMonster previously reported that Oregon’s Bye Bye Mattress program began on January 1, 2025 and is funded through a $22.50 stewardship assessment on each new mattress and box spring sold in the state.

New Facility Strengthens Regional Waste Diversion Efforts

The launch adds permanent local infrastructure for managing bulky waste materials that are often difficult to recycle through standard collection channels. It also supports broader efforts to recover reusable materials and improve sustainable waste management options across Central Oregon.
