Mattresses
We throw out over a million mattresses every year. This takes up a huge amount of space in Landfill. Mattreses can be recycled. The timber is used for particle board, pet bedding and kindling. Foam is used for carpet underlayand metal is recyled for numerous uses. Felt and coir fibre can go to nurseries for mulch, some fabric can be recycled for audio sound proofing panels. (varies with recycler)
