Around 75 percent of a mattress can live a second life: steel, foam, fiber, and wood all have somewhere better to go than a Georgia landfill. Recycling first has been the whole point of this company since 2012. Book a pickup and your Loader handles the routing.

What is inside a mattress, and where it goes

STEEL

Springs & coils

The single most recyclable component. Innerspring coils and border wire are baled and sold as scrap steel, which can be remelted indefinitely.

FOAM

Polyurethane & memory foam

Shredded and rebonded into carpet padding, gym mats, and cushioning. Foam is bulky in a landfill but valuable when recovered.

FIBER

Cotton, wool & batting

Cleaned fibers become industrial filler, insulation, and oil filters. Quilted covers are separated and processed with the fiber stream.

WOOD

Box spring frames

The lumber inside foundations is chipped for mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel. The steel modules inside go to scrap.

Our recycling-first promise, unchanged since 2013

"Our vision is to divert as many mattresses and box springs from landfills as possible. Through recycling, refurbishment, or donation."
FROM THE ORIGINAL 2013 HOMEPAGE

We are honest about the limits: recycling depends on item condition and facility availability, and items with bed bugs or heavy contamination legally cannot enter the recycling or donation stream. But the default for every pickup, every day, is diversion first and the landfill last.

Mattress recycling questions, answered

Can mattresses actually be recycled?

Yes. Up to about 75 percent of a typical mattress by weight can be recovered: steel springs are scrapped, foam becomes carpet padding, fibers become industrial filler, and wood from foundations is chipped or burned for energy.

How does mattress recycling work with Atlanta Mattress Disposal?

Book a pickup online, and your Loader routes the mattress to recycling or donation whenever condition and facility availability allow. The landfill is the last resort, and that has been our policy since 2012.

Is mattress recycling guaranteed for every pickup?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Recycling depends on the condition of the item and on facility availability at the time of pickup. Contaminated or bug-infested items cannot be recycled or donated and must be landfilled responsibly.

Does recycling cost extra?

No. Eco-friendly routing is part of every pickup. You see one exact price online before you book.

Can I drop a mattress off for recycling myself in Atlanta?

Some transfer stations and specialty recyclers accept drop-offs with fees and limited hours, and access varies by county. If you would rather not haul a queen mattress across the metro, that is exactly what our Loaders are for.
