Municipal Mattress & Furniture Recycling
Give residents a better place for old mattresses. We place containers at transfer stations and recycling centers, then haul and recycle everything that goes in them.

How can a town recycle residents’ mattresses?
With a container program. LRP Recycling places containers at transfer stations and local recycling and trash centers. Residents drop off mattresses and box springs, and when a container is full we pick it up, bring a new one if needed and recycle the contents.
At an average of 23 cubic feet and 55 pounds, beds from residential homes are among the largest items a community has to throw away, and many landfills now refuse mattresses entirely.
Recycling should cost significantly less than disposal, and it’s easier than ordering numerous roll-offs.
