Why I paid  to recycle a mattress — and you might, too


Key Points
  • Donating my old queen-sized mattress proved difficult. I recycled it and paid nearly $100 for the service in New York.
  • More than 75% of mattress materials, like wood, foam, steel and fiber, can be recycled.
  • The economics can be challenging for recyclers.
  • Some states have enacted mattress recycling laws that make it cheaper for consumers. However, state programs are funded by a fee on mattress purchases.
