Mattress Disposal
Is it that time to make an upgrade to your sleeping situation with a new mattress, but you aren’t sure how to dispose of your current one? Handling a proper disposal of a mattress can be a bit complicated, since a lot of the materials within a mattress can be recycled. But it most likely cannot fit in your regular recycling bin. You can try to break it down into smaller parts that could fit, but that could require some tools you may not have or could separate apart some recyclable material and make them less reusable. And due to the overall size of most mattresses, they are also rather difficult to transport or move around. Even if you were able to move it with someone else’s help, where do you take it? You can sit there and try to figure all these questions out, or you could just call the experts at Lakewood Junk Removal and we can take care of it for you.
Recycling
Couches are one of the most common causes of inbound calls to Lakewood Junk Removal. They are large and cumbersome, and usually too heavy for one person to even try to move on their own. Size does matter in this case, as well as the location. Trying to take these up and down stairs is hard work for a team, yet alone one person. There could even be a hidden bed inside that couch, adding even more to the overall weight to move. And because of all of this, we specialize in removing couches and other large furniture for you.
Reusing / Selling
Like I said above, there is a lot of recyclable material in mattresses, and some of it can be reused as well. There are some things that probably can’t really be recycled or reused though, so it may be best to leave it to the professionals to break it down and sort through it. Another option could be selling your mattress. I am not sure if you have ever tried this, but it is not easy. Probably the main reason why that is, is due to the amount of time we spend on our mattresses. On average someone spends almost a third of their day on their mattress. Some people may spend even more time on it, with options of eating meals in bed, or reading in bed, etc. Just the time spent can result in damage, stains, and overall wear and tear. Even if you were looking to buy a used mattress and it looked relatively brand new, would you trust it? It seems like the massive amount of usage these items get makes it a very hard sell to a stranger or even someone you know. So if it is time for a replacement, just give us a call and we can haul away the old mattress so you don’t have to worry about it.
