HOW TO DISPOSE OF A MATTRESS

There are many safe and responsible ways to dispose of your old mattress that you no longer require.

Firstly contacting your local council, they may offer a pick up service which is minimal hassle to yourself and they generally include a certain amount of items for a fixed price

Another option is to take it to your local council tip via car, but you will need to check with them first to see if this is an option they offer as some local councils  don’t offer this service, the only downside to this is that you will have to find an adequate sized vehicle to transport it there. 

Could the company your buying your new mattress from possibly offer a “take it away” service as part of you buying a new one from them?

The Law.

A registered rubbish removal firm will offer a really quick and simple service and take away your old mattress and leave you with the correct paperwork so you know your mattress has been disposed of correctly.
