Iowa College Strengthens Sustainability with Mattress Recycling

At LRP Recycling, we work with colleges and universities across the U.S. to ensure campus upgrades are completed with an eye toward environmental responsibility. A recent project at a college in Iowa highlights how mattress recycling can make a measurable impact.

Dorm Updates That Make a Difference

This project involved the removal and recycling of 225 twin mattresses, ensuring old bedding was kept out of landfills and instead processed through eco-friendly channels. The result?

✅ 12,150 pounds of material diverted from landfills

💧 112,500 gallons of water saved

⚡ 675 days of energy conserved

⛽ 900 tanks of gas saved

It’s another example of how schools can enhance student living spaces while protecting the natural resources that sustain their communities.
