At some point, people will become sick of their mattress, grow out of it, or perhaps experience trauma or an injury that calls for a different level of comfort. In these cases, people turn to mattress reviews, and perhaps an interesting aldi mattress might catch their eye. What happens to the old mattress, how easy is it to get rid of it and where does it go? When it’s time to dispose of old mattresses and box springs, the landfill is no longer the answer. The amount of space a mattress takes up in the landfill is a significant problem. So much so, that many landfills will not even accept mattresses or box springs. Each year there are anywhere between 10-40 million mattresses and box springs disposed of improperly. A typical mattress is a 23 cubic foot assembly of steel, wood, cotton and polyurethane foam. With such a wide range of materials, mattresses are typically difficult to recycle.
Over 90% of a mattress and box spring can be recycled. One recycled mattress can save 65lbs of toxic material from entering landfills. The recycling of 10,000 mattresses equates to approximately 125 tons of steel, 20 tons of wood and 15 tons of foam. Recycling this material saves 239 tons of CO2, which is the equivalent to planting 373 trees.
GreenSource Mattress Removal and Recycling’s low cost service picks up the old mattresses and box springs at the customer’s location, and delivers them to a certified recycling plant in one of the 48 states. Recycling mattresses is the smart solution to keeping our planet clean.
CKI, based in FL, has been in business for 22 years. Ms. Montross is its founder, chief inventor and owner. It has grown from a U.S. based firm, focused on U.S. markets, to today, an international industry player. The innovative items selling to its hospitality and cruise customers are patented bed making and bed doubling tools, high loft toppers, custom sized mattress protectors and encasements, pillow encasements and now a recycling service.
