What is the best way to get rid of old mattresses? You don’t want a stack of old mattresses creating a mess on your property—inside or out. But you also don’t want to contribute to the local landfill. An estimated 20 million old mattresses go the landfills each year, and that’s not a number anyone feels good about. Still, you need to get the mattress off your property, so what can you do?
Finding a dependable junk removal company that provides mattress removal services may be your top solution. Let’s take a closer look.
Donation Centers Do Not Take Old Mattress in Poor Condition
Is there such thing as an old mattress in good condition? Probably not. Chances are, if you want to get rid of a mattress, it has seen better days and is not something the local thrift store or even charity will want to take.
If a mattress has visible stains, rips, or holes, donation centers will not accept it. Many centers and thrift stores will no longer take used mattresses in good condition because they have had too many donations and don’t sell them quickly enough.
What about Recycling Your Old Mattress?
Eco-friendly practices like recycling may be a great way to get rid of your mattress and give it new life. Nearly every part of a mattress is recyclable. Of course, the challenge might be figuring out where to take the mattress to recycle it. It can be a hassle to drag the mattress off your property, load it onto a truck, and take it to the recycling location—even if you can find one.
