Frequently asked questions

Why is it so hard to get rid of mattresses?

Used mattresses are where we sleep, so naturally they will attract bacteria, dust, and sometimes even mold and bedbugs. Nobody wants to sleep on an infested mattress, so it’s almost impossible to donate an old mattress to anyone. It’s normally best to have it picked up by a junk hauler near you.

What happens to mattresses at the dump?

Mattresses dumped at a landfill normally command a surcharge, but once they’re dumped they simply sit there and decompose slowly. For this reason, it is better for the environment to find a recycling center that can recycle the components of the mattress. Relatively few exist in the United States, however.

How long does it take a mattress to decompose?

It takes anywhere from around 80-120 years for a mattress to decompose in a landfill. That’s a long time, and considering how often Americans dispose of mattresses and the sheer volume being dumped in landfills, it’s certainly a big problem.

How many mattresses are thrown away?

Around 20 million mattresses are thrown away every year in the United States. This works out to around 55,000 mattresses every single day. Although some recycling centers will take mattresses and fillet them to harvest steel, timber, foam, or other recyclable materials, most are simply tossed into the landfill.
