For many households, getting rid of an old mattress is an arduous task. Many people are unsure about how to get rid of a mattress themselves and often hire someone to collect their mattress for them. After all, it\u2019s often the quickest and most convenient option. But which options are available that are both affordable and reliable, without resulting in fly-tipping? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

One option to have your mattress taken away could be contacting your local council to arrange a special collection of large waste items. Most councils are willing to collect large furniture items from your property for a fee, including mattresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s worth noting that this is not the fastest option as demand for these services are high, meaning that you could have to wait for your furniture to be removed from your property. Typically, you can expect to wait between two to four weeks for a collection slot to become available.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find out whether your council offers furniture removal <\/span>via the Gov.uk website<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section>

Will charity shops collect my old mattress?<\/h2>

Charities may also be willing to take your old mattress away, which not only allows you to get rid of an old mattress that is collecting dust, but it means that you can give back and support their cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is worth noting that charities are very selective about the furniture they accept and collect due to restrictions on their storage space. Therefore, it is not uncommon for charity stores to only accept mattresses when there is demand, or to not accept them at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Charity stores will also not accept mattresses that don\u2019t have all of the appropriate fire labels, since they cannot be sold without these, and they will not accept mattresses that are in poor condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some charities accepting mattresses are as follows:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
