Join us at HandUp as we lead the charge in transforming mattress recycling in New Bedford. Our commitment to sustainability and community empowerment has caught the attention of SouthCoast Today, who recently featured our innovative approach to waste management.
With MassDEP's upcoming ban on mattresses in landfills, effective November 1, 2022, HandUp has taken action to lead the charge towards a greener future.
Explore our cutting-edge facility, where each mattress undergoes meticulous sorting to repurpose materials for a second life. Learn about our dedication to recycling at least 75% of each mattress's weight, keeping it out of the waste stream.
Beyond environmental impact, HandUp is committed to social responsibility. Our inclusive employment practices provide opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds to thrive and grow.
