BNA Clean & Green Team

Recycle Your Mattress Safely

Since many people don’t know how to dispose of old mattresses, a team at Tuck.com created a guide on how mattresses can be recycled, donated, and disposed of legally. Along with a ton of information, Tuck.com list some local options in Portland. 

1. Community Warehouse - www.communitywarehouse.org/give-furniture/se.org/give-furniture/, 3969 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Portland, OR 97212
2. The Salvation Army - Free furniture pickup services, 3030 NE Weidler St.
Portland, OR, 97232
3, Habitat for Humanity Restores - www.pdxrestore.org, Clark County Habitat StoreVancouver, WA 10811 SE 2nd ST., Vancouver, WA 98664


​Here is a link to all their resources: https://www.tuck.com/mattress-disposal/

The Mattress Recycling Council estimates that up to 20 million mattresses are disposed of every year in America. When it’s time to get rid of an old mattress, many people don’t even realize that there are better options available than dumping their trash on the sidewalk. We’re hoping that spreading awareness of cleaner, greener disposal options will keep old mattresses out of landfills and neighborhood streets.

The Tuck mattress guides have been featured by organizations including NBC News, Harvard University, and Lifehacker. Since you’re a great source of information for your community
