Learn more about Mattress Disposal in Ilford

Mattresses often need to be replaced after several years, but unfortunately, most of them are dumped in landfills. In Ilford alone, over 55,000 mattresses are disposed per year and under 10,000 are properly recycled - the bulk of these mattresses end up in landfills, where they take several years to break down, while releasing potentially toxic fumes into the air. For this reason, it is important to truly consider an environmentally sustainable method for your mattress disposal requirements.

Mattresses can be fully recycled as long as they are dismantled properly and all materials are separated. Some natural fabrics and wood can be fully recycled, while metal coils can be melted down. Any materials that cannot be recycled, can be incinerated at energy renewal facilities to generate electricity from steam. The wood frames, steel springs, stuffing and fabric will be recycled, while any leftover materials will be sent to an energy recovery centre where it is processed into steam to help generate energy.

Are you looking for responsible mattress disposal in Ilford?

There are several mattress disposal options available in Ilford. For residents of Ilford, the borough council provides a bulky waste collection, which offers one free collection every six months and payment for any additional items. The drawback is that you might have to wait for a removal slot to become available, which is not as flexible.

The company you purchased your new mattress from may also be able to collect your old mattress. This, however, does not guarantee that your old mattress will be properly disposed or recycled. Charities may also be able to collect an old but usable mattress for free but may not always be able to collect at a convenient time. You also need to store the mattress indoors until it can be collected to keep it from becoming damp.

You may also want to transport the mattress to a depot yourself but might not have access to a large enough vehicle, which means that you need to dismantle the mattress first. Breaking down a mattress yourself can take time and may cause injury. You also need proper tools such as a saw and heavy duty wire clippers.

If you have an old mattress that needs to be collected at a convenient time, Wayst can assist you. We team up with expert mattress disposal service providers who will remove and recycle your mattress hassle-free. Wayst also works with specialist recycling companies who will be able to break down and sort every component to be reprocessed. You can rest assured that any mattress handled through our platform will not simply take up space in a landfill, but will be completely repurposed as far as possible.

Wayst honours the environment by ensuring that we only use mattress removal service providers with the most environmentally sustainable methods.

Its position as a thoroughfare on the London to Colchester Rd and its subsequent railway development aided its growth during the 19th and 20th century, and large residential neighbourhoods are now developed around the main commercial town centre. Ilford’s most recent expansion was due to the 2012 Olympics in nearby Stratford during which time it was frequented as a popular tourist destination for people attending the events. Ilford has a strong and active retail sector which provides employment and contributes greatly to the local economy, and the Exchange Shopping Centre located on Ilford High Road, has been a popular retail destination since it opened in 1991. Another pull for residents and visitors to the area is the Kenneth More Theatre which runs an annual pantomime season during December and January and is particularly popular with young families. The area is also set to see further development as a result of the Elizabeth line railway station, and several modern new builds have recently bought an influx of first time buyers to the area.

What are the plans for a greener future in Ilford?

As part of a multimillion-pound investment into the regeneration of Ilford and its future development the Ilford garden junction is planned to create a ‘green gateway’ between the boroughs of Redbridge and Newham. Funding from the Greater London Authority for air quality will be used to fund the project aimed at creating better air quality and an open green space along the River Roding and around the A406 flyover junction. The green gateway aims to improve provision for both pedestrians and cyclists to use the connecting road between the two boroughs. Additionally, the planting of shrubs and trees along the roadside will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and nitrogen dioxide from the atmosphere caused by traffic fumes. Planting along the green gateway will also help to reduce noise pollution from the road and creates a barrier between pedestrians and motorists.
