Recycle my mattress!

Today I started out my day by working on a short video about mattress recycling, one of the issues we're organizing around at Clean Water Action.  Check out these photos I took in a mattress recycling facility in CT a couple weeks ago.  I love 'how stuff is made' stories... so here's some of the behind-the-scenes for ya.  Video forthcoming...




p.s. did you know 90% of a mattress can be recycled?  now you do!



Did I mention this facility employs recently incarcerated folks, who have a hard time finding employment?  Green jobs + social justice = the best.




Everything can be beautiful.

  1. Does that include all kinds of mattresses, like memory foam or Ikea ones without springs? And how widely can this magical recycling be found?
