Recycling Mattresses is Good-Landlords and All
Residents in Greensboro are asked to assist in launching a pilot program that will help the city and a local business. Landlords who throw out mattresses to the curb, the general public, or anyone looking to help the city "go green" or just save the city money can be involved.
The city's Fields Operations Department will begin the program with Mattress GO Round starting December 3rd. The company collects used mattresses/box springs, rips them apart and uses the coils to make new mattress for sale.
Each trip a Greensboro waste truck makes to a landfill costs money and with heavy, big, bulky mattresses, there are more trips. It also helps overcrowding in our landfills.
There are many benefits, including; economic, environmental, and employment benefit as well. Mattress Go Round is giving homeless and people out of work a second chance. This is a win-win for everyone!
To schedule a pickup of your mattress, just call the city or Mattress Go round. This will also be nice to see our streets clean and free of old mattresses lying around. If you are interested in this program for your city, checkout the city of Greensboro's initiative and spread the word.
