Media Coverage of Mattress Disposal and Other Sustainability Issues

According to American Demographics, recyclingwill become one of the most important issues for consumers over the next 20 years, as a new population boom in the United States will further strain our natural resources. At the same time, many communities are no longer accepting used mattresses in landfills, or are charging large fees for disposal. Mattress disposal programs are operating in California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon and South Carolina, and new programs are being planned for other areas of the United States.

Below are articles describing the mattress industry's efforts to promote the recycling of used mattress components, and other ways that the industry is improving its environmental performance.
