American Home is dedicated to keeping New Mexico beautiful and our sustainability efforts in our community are growing. As our company trends toward a carbon-neutral footprint, we will highlight some of our more important milestones here. We are stronger together!
American Home is excited to announce that we are the first and only mattress retailer in New Mexico to recycle and upcycle 100% of all mattresses we haul away from our guest's homes.
We've partnered with Spring Back Mattress Recycling, a non-profit social enterprise focused on People, Planet, and Purpose to ensure our mattresses don’t end up in New Mexico landfills. Did you know that over 30 million mattresses end up in U.S. landfills a year? In partnership with Spring Back Colorado Recycling, the recycling process breaks down 90% of each mattress into its Individual components, steel, foam, cotton, wood, and 100% of each foundation.
Some select mattresses are upcycled and donated to our community through Beds4Kidz, Heading Home, New Day Youth and Family Services, Saranam, and other organizations.
