The Mustard Seed of Central Florida: Mattress Recycling = More Usable Mattresses for Families

“So you recycle everything now?! Where do my donations go?!”

I get the question often so, in order to avoid any confusion:

We recycle to fund our philanthropic programs.

Not the other way around.

And your beautiful gently used donations? They go to families in need in the Central Florida everyday!

But for the dirty, un-usable items –ya know what? We can save those from the landfills.

Have you heard of win-win situations?

Because this is a perfect example….

If someone called to offer you 600 mattresses for Central Florida Families in need – would you turn them down? Previously, we would have to because 50% of them were un-usable and we had no way to manage a heap of 300 dirty mattresses. Now with our mattress recycling program we can say an enthusiastic “Yes” to that call and provide 300 mattresses to our families and divert those dirty 300 mattresses from the landfill!

Let’s show them the scoreboard…

Community: 1 // Environment: 1

(okay - so maybe this looks like a tie – but isn’t a tie a win/win? J)

Mattresses are only the beginning of this recycling love-affair. We now recycle: broken appliances & electronics, cardboard, paper, electronics, Styrofoam, & plastic bottles and the list goes on…
