Dakota Valley Recycling

DVR is the partnership recycling department for the Cities of Apple Valley, Eagan and Burnsville
that connects residents and businesses to recycling, composting and waste disposal information.

Mattresses and box springs are a large item in our waste stream and can be problematic because they are hard to move, clog up equipment, and are hard to compact in a landfill.  Fortunately now there is a company, PPL Industries, that is recycling these items in the Twin Cities.  This option prevents mattresses and box springs from sitting in a landfill and taking up space, and is a way to recover and recycle materials like metal and cotton. pile of old mattresses

  • All size mattresses and box springs are accepted, including mattresses from futons, cribs, and toddler beds.
  • Call for drop-off hours and information on fees.

If recycling mattresses and box springs is not an option, ask the retailer that brings your new mattress if they offer disposal.  If they don't, call your licensed garbage hauler to schedule a pick-up (if you live in an apartment or are part of an association, find contact information for the licensed commercial haulers), or bring it to a landfill, both for a fee.
