<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that is great Robert, I just paid $25.00 to have 5
mattresses and box springs taken off my hands. I was wondering if there
was someone who would break them down to their components and recycle it.
rebuilding them is even better.</FONT></DIV>

business</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>While wandering around the Plaza Shopping District today (NW
16th between Indiana and Blackwelder), I came across Dye's Mattress
Company. They offer custom built, new, and reconditioned box springs and
mattresses.He priced a full size set of reconditioned box springs and mattress
at $99, and said he would buy the old mattress from me for $5 if it was
reconditionable (I later found out that it was a Simmons Beautyrest mattress,
which alas isn't recyclable, he said "they are designed so they CAN'T be
rebuilt," which is a good reason it seems to me to NOT buy a new Simmons
mattress). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He says very little of what comes in his shop ends up in a
landfill. They do all the work there in the back of their shop, and you
can choose the firmness/softness you want for the mattress.
Reconditioning involves removing the old mattress cover, doing any necessary
repairs, adding padding if necessary, sanitizing the old padding, and adding a
new mattress cover.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So if you are shopping for a mattress, consider supporting
an important recycling business and purchase a reconditioned
mattress, Harold and Jennifer Dye at Dye's Mattress Company, 1709 NW
16th, phone 601-3635. If you have a mattress to get rid of, before you
put it out for big trash day, talk with Harold and see if it can be
reconditioned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Robert Waldrop, who is always glad to find another recycling
business in Oklahoma City</FONT></DIV>
