Whether you’re doing some spring cleaning or summer remodelling, you might find yourself wondering about how to get rid of large items like furniture and mattresses from your home. While many junk removal companies offer removal services, do you know if they recycle? The truth is, not many services in Vancouver offer mattress and furniture recycling. At Canadian Mattress Recycling, not only do we pick up your mattresses from your home, we also recycle them at our facility.

But you might be wondering – why should you care?

It takes up anywhere from 80 to 100 years for a mattress to decompose in the landfill. And when the average person uses 8 mattresses in their lifetime, it will take over 700 years for all of them to decompose in a landfill.

In comparison, when mattresses are recycled, their materials are immediately salvaged for reuse. Foam, wood, fabric, and metal can be given a second life. Instead of clogging up landfills, mattresses can be made into new items by local manufacturers.
