Why Recycle Your Mattress?

More than 50,000 mattresses are discarded in the U.S. every day. Up to 75% of a mattress can be recycled into new products.

GIVE YOUR MATTRESS A SECOND LIFE: RECYCLE IT!

The metal, foam, fabric, and other materials found in mattresses can be used in new materials, including insulation and steel products. Recycling mattresses saves space in our local landfill, conserves natural resources, and creates new jobs.
