The Recycling Process
The 5-stage Mattress Recycling Process
Mattresses and bases contain many re-usable materials including: Copper, steel and plastics and other materials. During the recycling process, they are brought to our Sydney warehouse and sort through – ones that are in suitable working condition, may be sold or donated and ones that are deemed unworthy are dismantled and recycled. All materials are sent to local manufacturers or recyclers.
