Mattress Recycling in Daly City: What you Need to Know

 

mattress recycling

 

What exactly should you do with an old mattress that is no longer comfortable or hygienic enough to keep in your bedroom? For most homeowners, an old mattress and bedsprings can become a major headache to get rid of, especially if your local waste management service doesn’t offer efficient mattress removal. Old mattresses are large, heavy, bulky, and hard to get rid of in a resourceful manner. Fortunately, residents, homeowners, and business owners in Daly City can hire Junk King of South San Francisco to help them effortlessly get rid their old mattresses.

The Difficulties with Mattress Removal 

 

Why exactly are old mattresses so hard to get rid of? Firstly, let´s consider the size and weight. The average mattress weighs somewhere between 50 and 150 pounds, depending on the materials and size of the mattress. For most people, hauling a 150 pound object down several flights of stairs and out to the edge of your driveway might pose a major risk to your health and wellbeing. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that millions of Americans keep old mattresses in their homes, even when they don’t actively use them. 

 

If you are able to take your old mattress out to the curb, you may find that the local trash removal service will not pick up your old mattress without first scheduling a special, bulk waste removal service. Republic Services, the company in charge of the public trash removal service in Daly City, offers only one extra clean up service per year. This means that you can get request an extra junk removal of up to 2 cubic yards or the equivalent of twelve, 32‐gallon garbage bags of bagged, boxed or bundled garbage, clothing, yard trimmings and other items, or two bulky items, not exceeding 200 pound each. 

 

For people who no longer have an “available” bulky junk removal service, they may resort to illegally dumping their old mattresses in our city parks, abandoned lots, and other public areas. 

 

According to the Daly City Manager, illegal dumping fines range from $250.00 for the first violation to $10,000.00 for the third major violation. Dropping off an old mattress at an abandoned lot, then, may result in hefty fines and penalties. 

 

A Few Statistics on Mattress Waste in the United States

 

Besides the obvious challenges that come with getting rid of an old mattress, mattresses waste also poses a serious environmental challenge to our nation´s already over-burdened landfill system. According to a recent article published by The Guardian, “mattresses are a global environmental nightmare. The US throws away 18.2 (million) mattresses a year, but there are only 56 facilities available to recycle them.” 

 

One recent study found that old mattresses and box springs account for up to 250 million pounds of waste material that end up in our nation´s already overburdened landfills. The average mattress takes up 23 cubic feet of space in a landfill, and in many regions around the country, there simply is not enough landfill space to continue to take on this bulky waste material. 

 

Furthermore, many mattresses are treated with strong chemicals, such as fire retardants, wood preservation chemicals, and others. These toxic chemicals can leach out of the mattresses and pose a serious threat to local communities and ecosystems. If these chemicals leach into local rivers, streams, or underground aquifers, they can pose a serious health risk to local communities.

One recent study by a State Health Department stated: “Studies indicate that the kidney and male reproductive organs appear to be sensitive targets for TDCPP (a type of fire retardant commonly used in mattress foam) toxicity. Studies using human cells indicate that TDCPP may disrupt normal endocrine function and neurological development. Studies indicate that TDCPP is genotoxic. Long-term exposure studies in laboratory animals resulted in increased incidence of kidney, testicular and liver tumors. TDCPP has recently been added to California’s Proposition 65 list as a carcinogen.” 

 

What most people don’t know, however, is that up to 90 percent of the raw material that goes into your mattress can be eventually recovered and recycled. One of the best ways to keep your potentially toxic mattress out of the local landfill is through hiring Junk King of South San Francisco to help you dispose of your older mattress.

Getting Help with Bulk Item Pickup and Garbage Pickups in South San Francisco

No matter how much you might want to keep the huge array of furniture that your great aunt bequeathed you after she downsized into a senior housing unit, there is only so much space in the homes we occupy. Even if you make it a priority to care for your furniture, appliances, and other bulk items that fill up your house, every household item tends to have an “expiration date.” If you need to get rid of an older piece of furniture, a lumpy mattress that is keeping you from getting a good night of sleep, or virtually any other large and bulky item, Junk King of South San Francisco is here to help you!  

We proudly provide efficient and affordable junk removal services to several communities and neighborhoods in the South San Francisco area, including: Brisbane, Burlingame, Daly City, El Granada, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Montara, Moss Beach, Pacifica, San Bruno, San Mateo, and the greater South San Francisco region.  

 

The Laws and Policies on Furniture Removal in South San Francisco  

In the past, getting rid of your old toaster or that ugly armchair that you had hiding in the corner of your basement used to be as simple as just taking it out to the curb and waiting for regular trash service to come and pick it up. As landfill space becomes increasingly scarce, however, many areas around the country are becoming much stricter about how homeowners, business owners, and individuals dispose of their bulk, junk items. Americans collectively throw out about 96,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools of municipal solid waste. Of that trash, up to 150 million tons ends up in landfills.  

 

New call-to-action

 

Fortunately, several states and city governments around the country are taking the lead in attacking this “out of sight, out of mind” mentality. By implementing stricter recycling and trash disposal laws, many of our nation´s major metropolitan areas are diverting an enormous amount of municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and other forms of trash from ending up in our already over-burdened landfills.  

The city of San Francisco is actually a nation-wide leader in recycling. Recently, the city announced that San Francisco had achieved an impressive 80 percent landfill diversion rate, setting national recycling and compost rate records as the highest of any city in North America. While that is certainly a reason to be proud of our city, it also means that residents of South San Francisco and communities such as Brisbane, Burlingame, Daly City, El Granada, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Montara, Moss Beach, Pacifica, San Bruno, and San Mateo need to make an extra effort to get find ways to get rid of their junk.  

In fact, San Francisco´s Public Works Departments states bluntly that: “It is illegal to leave furniture, appliances, garbage bags, or anything on the sidewalk at any time unless you have a scheduled pick up from a licensed hauler or donation facility.” The city government is serious is about these infractions, and can charge you up to $1,000 per each illegal dumping offense. If you get caught trying to illegal dump your old refrigerator, the fine alone might actually end up costing  you more than the purchase price of a new refrigerator.
