Advocating for Sustainability, Backed by Experience

As the newest member of the Tough Stuff Recycling team, Mary Horsman is excited to bring her years of experience in the waste and recycling industry to support the company’s mission.

“Joining this passionate and purpose-driven company is a perfect fit,” Mary says.

With a degree in Environmental Studies from UMass Boston and credentials as a TRUE Zero Waste Advisor, her background aligns seamlessly with TSR’s vision for a more sustainable future.

Driving Impact Through Education and Partnership

Mary serves as a go-to resource for events and partnership opportunities throughout New England. As the local representative for the region’s preeminent mattress recycler, she’s committed to educating and empowering organizations to make informed, sustainable choices.

“Let Mary and TSR support your sustainability goals by ensuring that mattresses and box springs are recycled using both a dedicated team and innovative technology, maximizing waste reduction.”

For Mary, this role is not just about sales—it’s about building strong relationships and creating meaningful change through collaboration. She’s passionate about helping partners meet their environmental goals, and she brings a deep understanding of zero waste strategies to every conversation.

Looking Ahead

Mary is energized by the future of Tough Stuff Recycling and sees major opportunities to expand its reach and impact. With demand for responsible mattress recycling growing and awareness on the rise, she’s committed to scaling programs that make a difference—one partnership, one event, and one recycled mattress at a time.

As the number of mattresses processed at TSR’s Fitchburg facility continues to soar, Mary is excited to be part of the team powering that growth. Her blend of experience, optimism, and sustainability leadership makes her a key player in shaping the next chapter of Tough Stuff Recycling’s success.
