OUR SERVICES

Green Spring Recycling is excited to provide excellent customer service and a GREEN alternative to the mattress waste dilemma.  An estimated 20 million mattresses and box springs are discarded nationwide, and the vast majority end up in landfills or incinerators.  We provide mattress & box spring recycling to retail distribution centers, solid waste districts, hotels & motels, dorms/universities, military bases, and more.

Bulky mattresses pose several challenges for landfills. They don’t compact well, take up a lot of space, create flammable air pockets, and the springs get tangled in compacting equipment, often damaging them.  Deconstructing mattresses in order to recycle their still-usable materials is a tough job, but a perfect solution to the mattress waste problem.   Good for the environment and good for the economy!

ABOUT US

Working in partnership with distribution centers, white glove delivery services, landfills, hotels, retailers, schools, military bases,  transfer stations and many others, we collect mattresses & boxsprings for recycling. Beds are disassembled by hand to maximize the amount of recyclable material we extract.  Before Green Spring Recycling was a thing, retail furniture was where it all began.  Our roots date back to 2013 after opening our very first furniture store.  

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to change the earth to a much GREENER one, one mattress at a time! Green Spring Reycling proudly provides stable, quality jobs to local residents.  However, recycling mattresses is not much of a profit-making, or even break-even business venture. The fluctuating revenue from the sale of commodities – steel, foam, fibers and wood – hardly cover the labor costs to recycle the mattresses.  Because of the headaches and expenses involved in land-filling mattresses, we rely on charging a small fee that still results in a lower overall cost vs “true cost” of processing in landfills.  That’s why we deconstruct mattresses by hand rather than shredding them.  Our goal is to divert up to tens of millions of pounds from landfills by 2025.
