Bring mattresses and box springs for recycling. This FREE service is made possible through a partnership with the Mattress Recycling Council’s Bye Bye Mattress Program.
​
New in 2022: Hazardous household waste drop-off, in conjunction with the Regional Water Authority's HazWaste Central service.
MATTRESS PICK UP:
Don’t try dragging that mattress to High Plains Community Center yourself. Orange Lions Club volunteers will pick up box springs and mattresses from your home, for a donation of $10 per item. Items must be in the garage or outdoors, as volunteers will not enter homes.
​
Call Ken Lenz at 203-795-3906 to arrange pick up. Checks made out to Orange Lions Charities or cash accepted.
