Tough Stuff Recycling, the leading provider of environmentally responsible mattress recycling services in Massachusetts, is pleased to announce that it is now a Massachusetts Municipal Association Partner.

“It’s an honor to service the municipalities of Massachusetts,” said Mary Horsman, Northeast Manager of Sales and Marketing of Tough Stuff Recycling. “This partnership with the Massachusetts Municipal Association makes it easier for Towns and Cities to benefit from our services and forward our mission to provide outstanding customer service along with mattress and box spring recycling to the Municipalities of Massachusetts.”

A Practical Partnership

This announcement supports ongoing efforts to improve landfill diversion and advance circular economy goals across Massachusetts municipalities. It’s important that Towns and Cities offer residents affordable access to mattress recycling because of the Massachusetts DEP Waste Ban, enacted in November 2022.

Tough Stuff Recycling Offers Solutions

Offering both aggregate and curbside pickup solutions, depending on the volume and needs of a community, Tough Stuff Recycling provides a custom solution for each partner City or Town.
