Committee explores mattress-recycling options, asks staff to follow up
Summary
Buffalo County discussed mattress-recycling options including a $425-per-ton automated service in La Crosse and a $14-per-mattress landfill option; staff will check whether BBC&M is delivering mattresses to La Crosse to enable recycling opportunities.
Members discussed two primary mattress-recycling pathways during the Aug. 6 meeting. Minutes state that Green Cycle operates an automated mattress-recycling system in La Crosse for large volumes at a rate of $425 per ton, while the La Crosse landfill accepts mattresses for $14 each. Committee members noted that BBC&M may already be transporting mattress loads to La Crosse and asked staff to confirm whether the county can coordinate recycling through existing haulers.
Recycling Coordinator Richard Bauer said he would check whether BBC&M is taking loads to La Crosse and whether the county can partner to increase mattress recycling. The committee placed mattress recycling on the list of future agenda items for follow-up.
