The nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is a spot for immense amounts of tourism. However, there are also around 5.8 million people living in this metropolitan area. That means a lot of homes, buildings, hotels, and the many millions of furnishings required inside of them.
With tourism being such a major activity in the city, it is obvious that there will be far more than the six million beds needed for the region’s full-time inhabitants, and this creates a strong demand for mattress disposal and recycling in Washington, D.C.
However, in a city as big and bustling as this one, it can be difficult to find a way to easily tote a mattress and box spring to a proper disposal or recycling facility. In fact, you may have no way of doing so. Additionally, you need to know that not all disposal services are the same, and it is far better to use mattress disposal and recycling in Washington, D.C. than anything else.
The Reasons to Use Mattress Disposal and Recycling in Washington, D.C.
Why? It may surprise you to discover that your mattress and box spring contain a long list of potentially toxic materials. These are stable when the mattress is kept in good condition, but when tossed outdoors, the materials break down and leach their poisons into the soil, air, and water.
Even more shocking is that even a low quality mattress contains around 90% recyclable materials. These could be properly harvested and returned to the supply chain instead of harming the environment. However, it all has to begin with high quality mattress disposal and recycling in Washington, D.C.
Of course, we haven’t even touched on the physical challenges of removing your old mattress or box spring. Try carrying one down the stairs of an apartment building or through your home and you discover that it is probably best to leave this to a professional. Then try to tie these to the roof of a car or load them into a truck and you may regret ever thinking it was a task you could do as a “DIY” activity.
