Collection & Recycling

Why Recycle Your Mattress?

Environmental Benefits: Mattresses contain materials such as metal springs, foams, and fibres that can take many years to break down in landfill. Recycling helps minimise their environmental impact and prevents unnecessary waste.

Resource Recovery: Recycling allows valuable materials including steel, wood, and textiles to be recovered and reused, reducing the demand for new raw materials and conserving energy.

Less Landfill Waste: By choosing to recycle your mattress, you help divert bulky waste from landfill sites, preserving valuable space and supporting a more sustainable future.

How does it work?

Recycling your old mattress with Mattress.ie is easy, convenient, and environmentally responsible. To arrange a collection, simply complete the mattress collection form on our website, ensuring all details are accurate so we can process your request quickly and efficiently.

Once your request has been reviewed, our team will approve it and issue an invoice for the collection service. Collection fees are based on factors such as mattress size, quantity, and location, ensuring a fair price tailored to your specific requirements.

Before your scheduled collection, please make sure the mattress is easily accessible and has been stripped of all bedding, linens, and coverings. Preparing the item in advance helps our team complete the collection smoothly and without delay. If there are any access restrictions or special requirements, please let us know when submitting your request.

By choosing our mattress collection service, you can be confident that your old mattress will be disposed of responsibly, helping to reduce landfill waste and support a more sustainable environment.

What Happens After Collection?

Collection & Transportation: Once collected, your mattress is transported to a specialist recycling facility for processing.

Material Separation: At the facility, the mattress is carefully dismantled and separated into its core components, including metal, foam, wood, and textile fibres.

Recycling & Reuse: These materials are then processed and given a new purpose. Metals can be melted down and reused in manufacturing, textiles may be repurposed into industrial products, and foams can be transformed into items such as carpet underlay or insulation materials.
