Where does my old mattress go?

The Charleston Area's Only TRUE Mattress Recycler

Foam

Foam and quilted foam are pulled from the old mattresses, baled, and then turned over to carpet manufacturers for extensive cleaning for eventual use in carpet padding.

Coils and Wood

Coils are delivered to a scrap yard for traditional steel recycling. There are millions of uses for recycled steel. One example is bicycle spokes.

Only 10% Remains

Wood from boxsprings is offered to the community for free for various reclamation projects.

When all is said and done, the BedShred process leaves only 10% of each mattress being discarded as compacted waste.

Mattresses are a Huge Problem for Landfills
