Most people don't think twice about where their old mattress ends up. But illegal dumping and landfill disposal cause real environmental harm — and California has strict regulations in place for a reason.
A single mattress can take up to 80–100 years to decompose in a landfill. Up to 90% of a mattress's materials — foam, steel, cotton, and wood — can be recycled and given new life.
When recycled correctly, mattress steel is melted down for new products, foam is repurposed into carpet padding, and cotton fibers are converted into industrial insulation.
California AB 1905 established a statewide mattress recycling program. Illegally dumped mattresses create public health hazards and carry fines. Proper recycling protects your community and keeps you compliant.
