At ABH Services Inc, we believe that mattress recycling is an important and necessary step in preserving the environment in Massachusetts. Old mattresses are not only an eyesore in landfills, but they also take up valuable space and release harmful chemicals into the air as they break down.
One of the biggest challenges faced by Massachusetts cities and towns is the growing amount of waste in landfills. According to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, old mattresses and box springs take up roughly 5% of landfill space and can take up to 20 years to decompose. By recycling old mattresses, we can reduce the amount of waste in landfills, preserving valuable space for other types of waste.
Another benefit of mattress recycling is the reduction of emissions from landfills. When mattresses break down in landfills, they release harmful chemicals and pollutants into the air. These pollutants can have negative effects on both the environment and human health. By recycling old mattresses, we can prevent these harmful chemicals from being released into the air.
At ABH Services Inc, we offer a convenient and efficient solution for mattress recycling in Massachusetts. We provide mattress pick-up services for both residential and commercial customers. Our team of experienced professionals will remove old mattresses from your home or business and transport them to the proper recycling facility. They will disassemble the mattresses and recycle the materials, including steel, foam, and wood.
Recycling not just good for the environment but also economically beneficial. It creates jobs, reduces the need for raw materials, and saves energy compared to creating new materials.
We understand that some might have hesitations about the process of disposing of their old mattresses and the cost that comes along with it. But we like to remind everyone that the investment you make in mattress recycling is an investment in the future of Massachusetts and in preserving the environment.
From November 1, 2022, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will no longer permit the disposal of mattresses in landfills. This includes all types of mattresses and foundations or box springs, with the exception of those contaminated with mold, bodily fluids, insects, oil, or hazardous substances. If you have any mattresses that you need to dispose of, ABH Services is here to assist you with the recycling process.
In conclusion, at ABH Services Inc, we believe that mattress recycling is an important and necessary step in preserving the environment in Massachusetts. Not only does it reduce the amount of waste in landfills and emissions from landfills, but it also creates jobs and saves energy. We are committed to providing convenient and efficient mattress recycling services for our customers, and we encourage all residents of Massachusetts to consider recycling their old mattresses.
