There are a few things you can do with your old box springs. Many mattress companies or furniture stores offer disposal services upon delivery of your new bed. There are also bedding recycling facilities and services that can help you dispose of your old mattress and/or box springs in an eco-friendly way, either for free or for a small recycling fee. There are also lots of great DIY options. If you want to recycle the box spring yourself, you can cut it apart and repurpose its wooden, metal, and fabric components.
