What is the Most Environmentally Friendly Way to Dispose of Old Mattresses?

Your mattress is years old, it has weird lumps, and your body aches every morning. So, you decide to take the plunge and trade in your uncomfortable bed for that extra roomy and cloud-like king size! Now you have a spare mattress lying around that you’re not too sure what to do with. Mattresses are rather big and unwieldy, and they can be difficult to cart around. Mattresses should actually be recycled rather than sent to a landfill but few do it. About twenty million of them wind up in landfills each year, and they account for around five percent of waste in landfills. Additionally, mattresses can create unsafe conditions for workers since their shape can create flammable air pockets and can damage equipment. Luckily there is excellent mattress disposal in Austin area, you can contact Waste Kings Junk Removal to remove your mattress for you and dispose of it in a safe and environmentally friendly manner!

Ways to Dispose of Your Mattress:

There are a handful of ways to dispose of your mattress in environmentally friendly ways. Mattresses are actually composed of a variety of materials that can be recycled such as the stuffing of a mattress, which is made from cotton and foam, and can be reused as pillow stuffing or to reupholster furniture. Here are a few ways to get rid of your old mattress in an environmentally friendly way:

1. Recycle! There are companies, and people, who are able to reuse the majority of the parts of an old mattress, like the wood, steel, and foam, to recycle them into new products.

2. Donate! Mattresses can be fairly expensive, and not all people can afford them. An excellent way to get rid of your mattress without contributing to the landfill is to donate it to a friend or to donate it to a second-hand store like Goodwill or Salvation Army.

3. Throw it away. Sometimes, your mattress is just too old and worn down to be repurposed, and in a condition that wouldn’t make it feasible to donate it to a second-hand store. In these cases, your only choice is to throw it away.
