This needs to be implemented all over the United States...the world. Great video.
That place is awesome, we need more places like that all over the USA.
Short and sweet.
The companies that make these mattresses should be required to operate these recycling centers.
I pulled mine apart, fantastic weed matting
I'm jumping along on those mattress along with Rob at the end😅 Great things are happening there❗️
using “natural recyclable materials” ………”taking very good care of the mattresses we already own…..”……..the sheer numbers are gobsmacking……..thank you for creating and recreating awareness…..
Love it!!! Hope more people hear about this.
Concise!
Avocado mattress iz a GREAT company to support if buying new - They are organic & mindful of all aspects of production, including listing sourcez for materialz etc
This is such good news. Second hand stores aren't selling used mattresses anymore so they go straight to the dump. Obvious reasons, I suppose but what a waste.
Many natural minimal options out there. Just takes time to research.😉
It is unhealthy man. Even charities wont accept them as donations. Imagine what a mattress might have inside after 10 years
Youre doing a amazing job saving mother earth. Ive been following you for sometime and Im trying my best to save the soil. Peace&Onelove.
What can one do to help save the soil?
@@aaron___6014 Be the change you would wanna see.
@@rauarumi9877 How does that save the soil? What are you doing to save it?
Great video Rob. More people need to see this. It’s incredible seeing them all stacked up like that. Also part of me was hoping to see you do a running obstacle course through it all!
Awesome news!!!!
Excellent, but bro… don’t touch those mattresses (bed bugs, bodily fluids, and general ick!).
I think its a bit too late lol
Is this the 1st Rob video you’ve watched? He’s not afraid of ick. Walks barefoot and eats plants without washing them
Love this! I have a futon and older mattress that I want to recycle - haven't found a source as yet. So I hold onto it.
I can't in good conscience just "dump it".
I don't know if you have any say in this, but if I had the resources myself, I'd turn the foam into affordable gymnastics equipment. A gymnastics vault alone is 1000 usd on amazon!
Also, I know this sounds silly at first, but keep in mind, all of the poor kids learning parkour/gymnastics, they're either A. not doing it, or B. risking serious injuries. I would love to see someone solve this with the growing interest in parkour, gymnastics, ninja warrior, it would be really positive for communities.
I sleep on the floor. So comfortable. Never going back to sleeping on a mattress.
I love this video, thank you Robbbbb!
Wow, amazing work!
awesome
The one place where you could not wear shoes, among mattresses. I guess they asked you to wear shoes. Great video.
Rob, it would be great if you could make a video talking about more environmentally friendly options to the standard traditional mattresses shown in this video? Please?! I've done some research, but would LOVE to know your opinions and knowledge from your own experience.
Hi, I’ve heard avacaddo mattresses are great and made with natural materials. They sound very comfortable too.
awesome, please expand the operation.
Awesome video great to see companies like this!!
I'd like to see us go back to double sided mattresses like we used to have. They last twice as long! Now they are single sided to make more money. Of course. My mattress is double sided and 26 years old!
So many farts trapped in those mattresses-
🤨
Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
AGREED! I have recently been attempting floor sleeping and have experimented with minimal mattresses, and now sleep on a NATURAL LATEX mattress from latex trees. It is super springy unlike memory foam(which is horrible for the spine to sink like that. I absolutely am sold as far as natural latex mattresses and will be a lifelong customer! I wonder if natural latex mattresses from % trees are compostable or not? 🤔🤔
Meant to say "made from 100%trees"
Totally forgot to mention: the latex mattress is actually a mattress "Topper" but I'm a minimalist and decided to use that as my primary mattress. Also because it is super firm and absolutely wonderful and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself at all!
@@Runner8617 great solution for those who can tolerate latex. Many people have life threatening allergies to the stuff.
What a uplifting fun video :)
What about bed bugs?
this is amazing
awesome video, good length too!
they Heat treat them for Bugs ?
This is awesome! REUSE!
Can I get some to give to some orphans in Ghana in the west Africa?
Fast Fashion next, plz and TY.
I'm wondering if he checked himself for bed bugs at the end
How do you deal with bed bugs being spread?
You could make some cool Mattress review videos.
I know I haven't been contributing to this problem... because I sleep on the sofa. 😅
Wonderful. They just burn them (along with everything else) here where I live. :(
🌎🍏🌎
What about reuse? after cleaning up?
How do you clean them and who would spend gallons of water cleaning billions of mattresses?
@@Runner8617 that creates jobs opportunities. Clean them with organic spray and take out to clean it parts by parts.
Bed bug city.
My newer "luxury" tier mattress has been shedding fiberglass fibers all over my room, and now my fairly new mattress is a 120lb biohazard that needs to be disposed of. Shout out to Tomorrow Sleep + Serta Sealy for making an obvoously scummy and unethical product.
Unhealthy?
Why are you too comfortable on those mattresses
Wow I deliver mattresses and pick up old ones. Some of them are disgusting. Are you scare to get sick?
do you sometimes refuse to pick up a mattress if its too dirty?
Virus infested mattresses I take my hat off to the workers.
I love and respect Rob massively, but can someone explain to me how he keeps his teeth so unnaturally white???
Rob! Donate money to me!
No, to me !!🤣
