A stewardship program takes back one kind of material, paid for by the companies that make or sell it, and it runs drop-off sites rather than curbside pickup. PaintCare and Bye Bye Mattress operate only in the states that passed a law for them; battery drop-off runs through retail and community collection sites. Each listing covers what the program accepts, where it operates and how to find a site.
Questions
Is PaintCare in my state? Only in states with a paint stewardship law; the PaintCare listing names them and links the site locator.
Where can I recycle a mattress for free? Bye Bye Mattress offers no-cost drop-off in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island; elsewhere the answer is your city’s bulky-item rule.
Where do I drop off rechargeable batteries? At a participating collection site found through the Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle) locator; its listing explains what it accepts.
