About Green Mattress:
At Green Mattress, the goal is to repurpose and recycle over 95% of a mattress’s components, reducing waste in landfills and diminishing our carbon footprint. Green Mattress is equipped to continue to take a market leading position across New England. Green Mattress currently reduces the loads on landfills and transfer stations by almost 50% annually. Green Mattress also receives mattresses directly from businesses, municipalities, institutions, and consumers. Each mattress or box spring is stripped of the foam and fabrics from the wood or metal framework. The foam and fabrics are baled and are then shipped to a recycler to be repurposed and reintegrated into their manufacturing processes. The metal is re-melted, and the wood is shredded and recycled into pressed wood products.
