Nobody in their right mind should be wandering around there without a good mask at ALL times. The dust, not to mention cooties...eww. And dust is flammable as hell, too. Could send a big fireball through the whole place with just a spark. Static can do it. Maybe I'm just not seeing the air circulation systems.
The business itself isn't sustainable. A landfill dump charges $15 per mattress and this company wants to handle 25,000 mattresses per year which amounts to $375,000 per year. Based on all the people in this video the payroll couldn't be sustained.
I work for Sims Metal and I had to pick up a load of recycle steel from one of these mattress places... but I think the steel that they collect is dumped in the ocean
The fabric is recycled into carpet padding for homes and cars. The metal is recycled. The wood is mulched into fiber. The foam is the most complicated part to recycle and is a very specialized business model that is very rare across the entire world. Odds are the foam is going into a landfill.
How is this a way to make a profit as I'm sure none of them are working for free.

You are correct. What about bed bugs? All kinds of contagion laying around in there. Looks like they are building a business on the backs of ex cons.
some mattresses have fiberglass fill, which when cut open creates tiny dust particles that can irritate the lungs
What about the urine in them?
They extract and send it back to you

You know by that young person
