The City of Norwalk will hold its first of three Mattress and Box Spring Recycling Collection events this Saturday, April 20, from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM at the Norwalk Public Works Center at 15 South Smith Street.
This free collection program recycles mattresses and box springs through the City’s partnership with the Greater Bridgeport Community Enterprises and the Mattress Recycling Council’s Connecticut Bye Bye Mattress Program.
The program asks residents to bring their unwanted mattresses and box springs to the Norwalk Public Works Center so they can be recycled through a sustainable program. The program is only open to residents, who are advised to park near the Norwalk Public Works Center gas pumps and look for signs on where to drop off their mattresses and box springs.
