Sleep Advisor

A mattress can be an ecological disaster site, if not properly disposed of. We’ve all seen old beds dumped on the side of the road or hiding in a forgotten alley. Fortunately there are firms that specialize in recycling the materials from old mattresses. Few charities take used mattresses, though some provide recycling.
Most mattress vendors provide old mattress removal when a consumer purchases a new set and you should take advantage of this whenever possible as this can save you considerable cost. You might consider asking the vendor how their mattresses are disposed of, so as to be assure your mattress will find a proper, earth-friendly, disposal. Some vendors give unstained, lightly-used mattresses to specialized re-conditioners who are skilled in the cleaning and sterilizing of sleep products, however the majority of mattresses are recycled or destroyed for placement in a landfill.
On the occasion that you have a mattress to get rid of but aren’t buying a replacement set, you should contact a mattress recycling center near you to find out their policies. Recycling centers are currently located in California, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina as well as Alberta, Quebec and Saskatchewan, Canada.
If you cannot find a recycling center near you, contact a local mattress vendor and ask them where to take your old bed.
