Mattress B Gone is dedicated in helping to reduce the amount of mattresses going into our local landfills. Our goal is to eliminate any mattresses from having to go into our landfills. The average mattress takes up 23 cubic feet of landfill space. When recycled, this is a huge amount of refuse that goes back into useful products instead of filling the landfill. Used mattress disposal is a growing problem in US landfills. Traditional disposal at landfills is becoming expensive and in many cases, no longer allowed. Because of increased regulations, space constraints, and decisions to ban mattresses from many landfills, disposal becomes almost impossible and recycling becomes the smart and viable alternative.

History

Established in 2009.

Have you ever wondered why mattresses are left on the side of the road? A local Houston entrepreneur asked the same question and found it's hard to get rid of a mattress. Many local non-profits don't accept old stained mattress, some landfill locations charge a hefty fee and then there is the issue of how do you transport these bulky items to the transfer station/landfills. His solution..RECYCLE them. These mattresses have recyclable components inside them that can be recycled rather than have them end up in some landfill. The business model of picking up old unwanted mattress directly from a customer's residence or business worked very well in Texas. California was a great place to offer this type of service since more Californians are into recycling. Sure many companies are out there that will haul your mattress to the landfill but how many really recycle them. With strong desire to help our environment and the desire to help people we at Mattress B Gone are here to help you recycle
