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
