Tempurpedic

As reported by Seattle Times recycling and disposing of used mattresses takes more than the usual effort. For one thing, no one likes to purchase a mattress that someone else has already slept on for years. Even charitable organizations, according to the article, do not encourage used mattress donations. And when waste management companies do recycle them, they would need some time to tear the mattresses apart. Mattresses are constructed tightly precisely so that it won’t easily come apart. Waste management companies would have to make use of really expensive equipment to do so.

As you prepare for bed tonight, know there are people in Kansas City who can’t do the same thing, because they have no bed at all. — So goes the caption from this video below. Will To Succeed Foundation based in Kansas is looking for provide beds at for a hotel in Overland Park. Of course, this isn’t your average consumer upscale hotel, but it is for those literally without beds. And the foundation needs all the help they can get and are seeking mattress donation.
