What happens to your mattress after pickup

Mattresses are recycled at licensed facilities where steel springs, foam, and fabric are separated and processed individually. Springs are melted down for scrap steel, foam is shredded for carpet padding or industrial use, and clean fabric is repurposed. Mattresses in good condition (no stains, no structural damage) are donated to local shelters and charities when possible. Items that can't be recycled or donated are disposed of at permitted solid waste facilities.
