Starting immediately (8/29/24) for all newly scheduled bulk trash pickups, mattresses and box springs will now be an additional cost if they are included in your bulk trash pickup. At the time of scheduling, you will be asked if your pickup will include any mattresses and/or box springs, and you will be assessed a fee of $10 per mattress and/or box spring. This fee is in addition to the $75 pickup fee. (Starting August 1, 2024, the Charles County Landfill now charges $10 per mattress/box spring for all commercial loads.) Please note the Charles County Landfill does allow residents to bring 1 mattress and box spring or 2 mattresses directly to the landfill daily to be recycled for free.
