New Bedford’s new policy for disposal of mattresses and box springs to take effect

“As a consequence of a new statewide ban on the disposal of mattresses and box springs established recently by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), effective January 1, 2023, a $10 fee will be required of New Bedford residents seeking to have their mattresses and box springs removed by the City’s private solid waste hauler Harvey Waste & Recycling Services.”
