Recycle or Upcycle

When it's time to replace your mattress, the old one doesn't have to be destined for a landfill. Before you search for ways to get rid of the whole thing, ask yourself if there is any way you can repurpose it in your home. You can get crafty and upcycle the parts into something new, there just might be another place in your home for that old mattress or box spring.

Donate Your Old Mattress to Someone in Need

In many cases, your old mattress may still be perfectly usable for someone who is in need of one. Check around town for homeless shelters, women's shelters, or other charitable centers that are accepting donations. Be sure to familiarize yourself with your local organizations about their policies for donations, as not all locations are able to accept used mattresses.

If there are no shelters or organizations that can accept your old mattress, ask around your inner circle! You may know a friend or family member who will gladly take it off your hands.

Hire a Junk Removal Service to Haul It Away 

If you're unable to repurpose or donate the old mattress yourself, the simplest way you can get rid of it is to hire a professional junk removal service. Even if there is a recycling program near you that accepts mattresses, hauling it there yourself is often easier said than done. When you hire a junk removal company to take care of it, their movers can come right to your home, haul it away, and transport it to the proper recycling or disposal site for you.
