Schools and universities replace a ton of mattresses year in and year out. Dormitories cycle through bedding faster than almost any other institutional setting. So, when the time for mattress replacement comes, the disposal question tends to get answered in the cheapest, fastest way available rather than the right way. California also has some of the most specific waste diversion requirements in the country. Under the state's mattress recycling framework, mattresses are expected to be recycled through approved channels when viable options exist (more on this below). Here is what commercial mattress recycling can look like for schools and dormitories, and why it is worth building into your replacement planning from the start.
