Bye Bye Mattress
How Bye Bye Mattress works.
California’s mattress recycling program is funded by a recycling fee collected when a new mattress or box spring is sold. That money pays to collect, transport, and recycle used units instead of burying them. The City of San Diego drop-off at Miramar Landfill is free on weekdays, 7am–3pm — if you can get it there. We exist for everyone who would rather not drag a king into a truck.
01
You buy a mattress
A recycling fee is already on the receipt. That’s the program’s fuel.
02
We pick yours up
Curbside or full service in University Heights. No trip to Convoy Street required.
03
It gets taken apart
Steel, foam, fiber, and wood are sorted into the recycling stream the same day.
Recycling
How a mattress gets recycled.
We don’t leave units in alleys. Coils become rebar and appliances. Foam becomes carpet padding. Fabric is pulled for shredding. Most of a mattress can be reused as something else — if someone actually takes it apart.
- Steel springs are separated and sold as scrap metal.
- Foam and latex are shredded for padding and insulation.
- Cotton and fiber get pulled for industrial shred.
- Wood from box springs is diverted from landfill when it can be.
