7 Rivers Recycling hosted a one-day-only Presidents' Day mattress recycling sale offering customers 33% off the regular price to recycle mattresses where one dollar from each of those sales was donated to The Salvation Army.

7 Rivers Recycling and Up-Cycle announced the Make Mattress Money upcycle idea contest. To launch this they partnered with 7 Rivers Community High School to host a 'Shark Tank' style event where students from the school got the first chance at pitching their ideas for upcycling the mattress materials to a panel of judges.

Aspiring entrepreneurs at 7 Rivers High School got a chance to pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges Friday morning.  In an effort to promote mattress recycling, 7 Rivers Recycling and a company called Up-Cycle, collaborated and gave the students materials from recycled mattresses.  Students were then challenged to use the materials to create a product they would sell. They're now on a mission to prove something important.

Scott Smith with Coulee Region Ecoscapes is experimenting with using shoddy pad, a landscape fabric made from recycled mattresses, for weed-free landscape beds. Onalaska's 7 Rivers Recycling, LLC is hoping to develop a market for the material, which would otherwise end up in landfills.

A contest was announced to all schools in the 7 Rivers region for the best logo to be designed for 7 Rivers Recycling, LLC.  We received many creative entries, with Jack Pretasky of Central High School designing the winning logo.
