Mattress Graveyards – Should We Really Be Burying Our Mattresses?
We all buy mattresses for our homes and often get five, ten, fifteen maybe twenty years worth of use out of these mattresses. We go out and purchase a new mattress and of course must find a way to dispose of our old mattress. Many dispose of their mattresses via trash or disposal service. But this leads to filling our landfills with old mattresses creating a sort of mattress graveyard where more trash and debris cover them up to lay beneath tons and tons of trash in a landfill. Many of the materials inside these mattresses is not biodegradable.
