Why should you recycle your old mattress?

Mattresses are bulky and springy so they don’t compact well and take up lots of valuable space in landfills.  Save precious landfill space and give your mattress parts a new life by recycling your old mattresses and box springs.

What will happen to them?

Mattresses will be transported to a special facility in South Carolina to undergo a unique processing method.
