Disposal of old mattresses: Sustainability meets convenience
There comes a time in every mattress's life when it has served its purpose. But what happens to the old sleeping surface then? Proper disposal of old mattresses is an essential issue, of great importance from both environmental and health perspectives. In this article, we explain why professional disposal of old mattresses is so important and how it should be carried out correctly.

Why old mattress disposal is so essential
A mattress isn't just a pile of foam or springs. It's made of a variety of materials, including metals, textiles, and various types of plastic. If mattresses aren't disposed of properly, these materials can leach into the environment and contaminate both soil and water. Furthermore, old mattresses, if stored improperly, can become breeding grounds for pests and microorganisms.

The environmentally conscious aspect
Thousands of mattresses are disposed of every year. The amount of waste generated is considerable. However, with proper disposal, the ecological footprint of an old mattress can be significantly reduced. Many materials in mattresses are recyclable. This means that if they are disposed of and processed professionally, they can be reused and thus don't end up as waste.
