2: Canadian Mattress Recycling – 604-777-0324                                            # 140 – 715 Eaton Way Delta, BC V3M 6S5

In my opinion, The lower mainland’s biggest and best mattress and  furniture recycler, hands down.

From their website… “We dismantle them at our central depot and recycle as much as we can, which is in most cases, at least 95% of each one. Salvaged steel, foam, plastic, cotton, polyester, coir, wood, leather, and cardboard become new products instead of landfill waste.

 Most of what we reclaim is sent to local processors, supporting jobs for people in our area and helping our economy while helping the environment too. We customize programs for our commercial clients and help them achieve great success in reducing both their solid waste fees and their environmental footprint, while staying within budget and moving toward sustainability.  The Zero Waste Challenge is one we take very seriously.”

A1 Problem Solvers Inc. has been providing CMR’s Residential Pick up Service across the lower mainland for the past 5 years, often over 80 residential pick ups a month.
