Why Mattress Disposal Matters
Mattress disposal is harder than it seems, mainly because of the materials that can’t be recycled. Choosing the right method is key for the environment and community.
Environmental Impact of Improper Mattress Disposal
Dumping mattresses in landfills adds volume to the waste. They take up space and have materials that don’t break down. Foam and metal springs can leach harmful chemicals into the soil and groundwater, long-term environmental hazards. Responsible disposal minimizes those risks and reduces the load on local landfills.
Benefits of Responsible Disposal
Responsible disposal reduces landfill waste and recycling and allows foam and springs to be reused. This saves raw materials, reduces the environmental footprint, and creates a closed loop of material reuse, good for the environment and the economy.me.
