College Mattress and Furniture Recycling
Did you know that by recycling a full trailer of 300 dorm mattresses you will be saving 14,700 lbs and 3,800 square feet of waste from going to the landfill?
We work nationwide with K-12, Colleges, and Universities to find a green solution for their furniture and mattress removal needs. Our primary focus is to recycle these items in order to keep them out of landfills
A set of dorm room furnishings (desk, chair, dresser, bed) adds up to an average of 300 lbs of material that could be diverted from the landfill and reused for other materials. Desks, chairs and tables can have an opportunity to be reused and donated to charities to help the less fortunate.

LRP's Project Process
Mattress Recycling and Certification
Mattress Removal & Recycling
Mattresses and box springs are cut apart in order to collect all the raw materials: metal, wood, cotton, felt, polyurethane and fabric. These materials are then sent to other companies to give them a second life. An old mattress can be recycled into thermal isolation, which is used in cars, as well as mulch and carpet underlay, among other things.
Official Documented Proof
Once the mattresses are removed from your facility and recycled, your institution will receive a Certificate of Total Recycling that you can proudly display. The certificate will document that no items from your property have ended up in a landfill as well as the weights and process types used to recycle the mattresses.

Certified

The mattresses and furniture will be hauled to one of our processing centers. During this procedure we will look for reusable or items that can be donated. The rest of the items will be sorted and recycled.
Our Recycling Process
Arrival
Once your items arrive to one of our processing centers, everything is sorted. During this procedure we will look for reusable or donatable items. This rarely happens due to non-profits being very picky, but if there are any items we can donate we do that first. It helps others and is always the best way to achieve a 100% recycling rate.
Sort
Our ground crew will then separate things by hand with more precision. At this point, depending on the material, items will be either shredded or baled and then sent to our other vendors to be used in the manufacturing of new products.
