Durham Mattress Disposal

Finding a recycling center may be easy, but finding one that accepts mattresses has become more difficult than you may think. Most recycling facilities are subsidized by the government and funding has been cut due to over capacity, economics and shortage of available resources. This has limited mattress recycling options in Durham and recycling may not even be available in your area.

Many removal companies aim to recycle but unfortunately it is sometimes left out of their control. There are recycling alternatives such as donation, selling, repurposing and working with the city to find adequate solutions to avoid the landfill at all costs.

At Mattress Disposal Plus, we do our best to responsibly dispose of old mattresses and recycle as much as possible. We cannot guarantee that your mattress will be recycled but we are always looking for new and innovative ways to handle mattress problems in efforts to keep them out of local Durham landfills.

In Durham, throwing a mattress in a dumpster isn’t typically allowed unless the dumpster provider accepts them. Most municipal trash collection services won’t accept mattresses in their dumpsters and such actions could even result in a fine. If you live in an apartment complex they usually ask that you do not throw furniture, mattresses or any large bulky items away in the dumpster. Unless you rent a dumpster for your own needs, and they allow you to throw a mattress in, it is usually never allowed.

Before you throw a mattress in a dumpster always check first to see if it is allowed. If you have questions about how to get rid of your mattress properly, contact Mattress Disposal Plus and we will be happy to help.
