The polyurethane foam, steel springs and wood frames from Californians’ used mattresses will soon become the material for carpet padding, landscaping mulch and new bedding.
Under a state program that took effect this month, California residents are now able to drop off their old mattresses and box springs at participating collection sites for free. Funded through an $11 fee on mattress and box spring purchases, the program aims to divert that bulky waste from landfills to recycling facilities that can turn it into other useful products.
