🛏️✨ NOW ACCEPTING MATTRESSES!
Yes — Green Girl Recycling is officially accepting mattresses year-round! 🎉
And fun fact… we’ve actually been recycling mattresses for over six years, helping the City of Longmont every October during their mattress collection events.
Every year people asked:
“Can I bring mine in anytime?”
Until now, the answer had to be not yet…

🚧 Why We Couldn’t Before
At our old warehouse, mattress storage was tough:
They sat on an open flatbed
We were near the river
And unfortunately, mattresses kept “walking off” and turning into riverbank housing 😬
That didn’t help anyone — especially the environment.
🏭 What Changed?
Our new warehouse at 1801 Boston Ave. 🙌
We can now:
Securely store mattresses in one of our older trucks
Collect up to 50 at a time
Haul them safely to Denver for proper recycling

We proudly partner with Springback Colorado, the local legends who:
Hand-deconstruct mattresses

We LOVE these guys — and your mattress is in excellent hands.
💰 The Important Stuff
✔ Price: $45 per mattress or box spring
✔ Drop-off hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
✔ Location: 1801 Boston Ave., Longmont
🚨 VERY IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ)
We ONLY accept clean, dry mattresses and box springs.
❌ No bedbugs

We love recycling… but we cannot accept disgusting mattresses 🤢
(Thanks for understanding — and for being kind to our crew!)
♻️ Why This Matters
Mattresses are bulky, hard to landfill, and nearly 90% recyclable when handled properly. Recycling yours helps:
Keep huge items out of the landfill
Support local recycling jobs
Do the right thing for our community
If you’ve got a mattress to ditch — or know someone who does — send them our way.
👉 YES — we recycle mattresses. ALL. YEAR. LONG. ♻️💪
Thanks for recycling with our family business. We appreciate YOU! 💚
