Discarded mattresses not only take up valuable space, but also create serious potential hazards. When hotel mattresses are replaced, unfortunately a lot of them still end up in landfills without considering the consequences or recycling as an alternative. It is important that hoteliers understand the benefits of mattress recycling and are aware of that environmentally friendly service that might give them a huge advantage over competitors.
Impact on landfills
There are several dangers involved when disposing of mattresses into landfills. One of them is that the mattresses create flammable air pockets and also, they can absorb hazardous chemicals that are harmful to the earth. Furthermore, mattresses are not biodegradable and take up a major amount of landfill area.
Green alternative – Mattress recycling
While recycling mattresses is a much better alternative to dumping them, it is not as easy as it seems. Mattresses are probably among the most difficult things to recycle. It is difficult, but not impossible. With basic simple tools, one of our workers is able to dismantle up to 30 mattresses per day. All of the beds and mattresses are fully stripped back to their component parts, baled and re-processed to go back into the supply chain with 100% landfill avoidance. We have all the necessary licences and work on a national basis, we are happy to collect beds and mattresses from your premises or alternatively, you are more than welcome to deliver them to us in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Currently our customers include but are not limited to, Local Authorities, Hotels, Guest Houses, Care Homes, NHS, Bed Retailers, Student Accommodation providers, Bed and Mattress manufacturers and many more.
Stay aware!
We take it as our responsibility to share with all hoteliers the serious dangers of dumping mattresses into landfills and other problems it causes for our environment. Hotel management needs to be educated on the benefits of recycling. Beds and mattresses recycling not only gives you a competitive advantage, but also cuts your costs down, encourages interest from more clients and makes your business more sustainable.
To make it even more cost effective we offer supplying and installation of new beds and mattresses in the same time when the disposal of the old ones takes place.
