Learn more about Mattress Disposal in East Central London

Worn-out mattresses can affect your quality of sleep and you can fix that by replacing your mattress. But how do you go about searching for a proper mattress disposal method in lieu for some proper shuteye?

In East Central London, almost 8,000 mattresses are discarded per year, of which not even 1000 of those mattresses are recycled.

When mattresses are simply dumped on landfills, it creates a significant environmental problem, as mattresses take up large chunks of space and the materials in mattresses take decades to fully decompose. Mattresses can also pose a significant fire hazard when left outside for too long, as the fire-proof chemicals wear away over time.

Ensuring that your mattress is fully recycled, is the safest option for the environment, as nearly 100% of the mattress materials can be recycled if the mattress is broken down.At Wayst, we can offer a safe, environmentally sustainable service to help dispose of your used mattress.

Professional and sustainable mattress disposal services in East Central London

If you are looking to dispose of a mattress without compromising the environment, there are several mattress disposal options available to you in East Central London. Borough councils often offer a removal service for bulkier items such as mattresses, where you will be charged a handling fee. These mattress disposal services, however, need to be scheduled in advance and the turnover time might not be as convenient and flexible for you.

Used mattresses can also be transported to civic amenity sites and the appropriate depots, but you might not have a vehicle large enough to fit your mattress in.

The mattress retail company providing your new purchase may also be able to remove your old mattress, but this is not always the most environmentally friendly option.

While many charities can collect your old mattress, providing that it is still in a usable condition, this may also not be the most suitable option for you, as collection times may be limited. You may also not have a vehicle large enough to transport your mattress if organisations are unable to come collect from your home.

Other options include hiring specialist waste companies that assist with mattress disposal by either breaking down the mattresses themselves or by taking the mattresses to material recovery facilities. While it takes time to take apart mattresses and extract and sort the different components, it is the most sustainable method for the environment.

We work with trusted partners who will not only come and remove your mattress at a convenient time, but will also ensure that it is fully recycled and broken down. Our mattress disposal partners will be able to do the DIY on your behalf and ensure that every bit of your old mattress is recycled. This does not only ensure your own safety, but also that of the environment.

Wayst provides only the most professional partners to fulfill your mattress disposal services, while ensuring that all components are recycled.
