The Township of Asphodel-Norwood has a mattress recycling program at the Transfer Station site. Mattresses are collected and stored in a dry container where later they are reloaded by Township staff and shipped to the Peterborough Waste Management Facility (located at 1260 Bensfort Rd. in Peterborough). The mattresses are then loaded into tractor trailers, where they are then taken to a recycle facility. The cost to dispose of a mattress is $25.00 per piece. |

Rather than placing unwanted bulky items in the disposal bins, a dedicated bin is available for reusable items. Items deemed unacceptable for reuse by the Transfer Station Attendant will require a tipping fee for disposal. Acceptable items include, but are not limited to:
If you have an item not listed above, please check with the attendant. Placing items in this bin helps the environment by not adding to the Peterborough Waste Management Facility (located at 1260 Bensfort Rd. in Peterborough) and allows another person to make use out of your unwanted item. There is no charge for collecting items from this section. |
