Old Mattress? Your Options for Removal

Don’t Put It on the Curb


Old Mattress? Your Options for Removal

When you spend nearly a third of your time on your mattress, it’s essential you have one that’s comfortable and in good shape. But what happens when your old mattress is no longer the right one for you? Read on to learn about some of your options to get it out of your home.

Your Options for Removing Your Old Mattress

  • Request Mattress Takeback: When purchasing a new mattress, ask if the company offers a take-back service. Many companies are now committed to responsible disposal and recycling, ensuring your unwanted one doesn’t end up in a landfill.
  • Donate if in Good Condition: If it’s still in good shape, consider donating it to local charities, shelters, or organizations that accept used mattresses. Many individuals or families in need will appreciate the comfort your donation can provide.
  • Check with Local Waste Management: Some municipalities have specific regulations for disposal. Check with your local waste management or recycling center for guidelines on how to properly dispose of your old mattress.
  • Upcycling the Different Parts: If it has a wooden or metal frame, consider repurposing these materials for DIY projects or donating them to local workshops or artists who can give them a new life.
  • Recycling Components: Break down your mattress into its individual components—metal springs, wood, and foam. Many recycling centers accept these materials, reducing the environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
  • Mattress Recycling Programs: If you don’t want to take it apart yourself, investigate if there are any mattress recycling programs in your area. These programs often dismantle it themselves, separating the materials for proper recycling so you don’t have to.
