Learn more about Mattress Disposal in North London

If it is time for a new, firmer mattress then you will need to consider a sustainable mattress disposal service to get rid of your old one. In North London, over 150,000 mattresses are disposed of annually and approximately 20,000 of these are recycled, which means that the bulk usually take up space in landfills. In the efforts to ensure a greener North London, there are several mattress disposal service providers dedicated to mattress removal and recycling.

Most borough councils in North London offer their residents a mattress disposal service through their bulky waste collection services, however this is not always the most convenient option as turnaround times are not as quick and the time slot allocations are often inflexible and residents need to be at home when mattresses are collected.

While the company you bought your new mattress from may be able to collect your old mattress for free, this may not be the most sustainable option, as recycling is not guaranteed. Several charity organisations in North London carry out mattress disposal services if your mattress is reusable for free but may not be able to collect at a suitable time for your convenience.

Although mattresses can be fully recycled, most of them unfortunately get dumped in landfills. Not only do mattresses take up large spaces, but they take decades to fully break down, while potentially releasing toxic gases into the air.

Responsible mattress disposal in North London

A legitimate mattress disposal company is the most environmentally sustainable method to dispose of your old mattress. At Wayst, we work with specialist recycling service providers who will not oly remove the mattress from your premises at a time suitable for you, but will ensure that almost 100% of your old mattress is either recycled or reused.

Our trusted mattress disposal partners will either take your old mattress to a suitable recycle depot or will even carry out part of the mattress recycling process themselves. While many people are tempted to simply dismantle and transport mattresses themselves, it can be a timely, costly endeavour as you require proper tools such as heavy duty wire cutters and a saw. You also run the risk of severe injury and not properly separating the different components, which may jeopardise your recycling efforts.

Save yourself the hassle and the risk by contacting Wayst for your mattress disposal needs. We will find the right mattress recycling service provider that will deal with your used mattress while ensuring that it is disposed of safely.

What rubbish collection services are available in North London?

Borough councils in North London provide regular collections of general waste and dry mixed recycling as a standard service to residents within the boroughs. Councils also offer free food waste collection and provide either bags or food caddies which are usually color coded brown. Due to the nature of collecting different waste types on a large scale, most councils run a fortnightly collection schedule, using color coded bins requiring that residents are aware of their timetable so they can put out the right waste on time for it to be collected. Local authorities greatly rely on the cooperation of residents to ensure that recycling is not contaminated with other types of residual or general waste, as this can cause delays further along the line at materials recovery facilities.

All the north London borough councils offer a subscription service for garden waste collection, which if it needs to be paid for normally costs between £50 and £75 per annum. Additional paid rubbish removal services such as special collections for bulky items, and additional bin collections are also provided by local authorities payable to the council. Clinical waste collection is provided for free upon request for the service with a referral letter from a GP or other medical practitioner on behalf of the patient. For white goods such as freezers and fridges, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) a payable collection service also applies and the council is usually able to collect such items. The 7 North London boroughs are able to offer this as a limited free service through their contracted partner organisation, and residents can visit their prospective local authority website for more details.

How is the local authority in North London handling your waste?

The North London boroughs transfer recycling to Materials recovery facilities where they are sorted and then sent on to be reprocessed. This is carried out by waste management businesses working in collaboration with borough and county councils to recover value from waste, and divert waste from landfill sites. Integrated waste management facilities provide mechanised sorting and cleaning of materials using cutting edge technology and processing equipment. When materials arrive at the recovery plant they are quality checked for contaminants, which can cause problems in the sorting facility if they are not identified and removed from the conveyor, which is why councils implement colour coded bin systems for residents so that separation and decontamination of materials can occur early on in the process.

North London Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £60,557,084
· Per resident spend £37
· Landfill rate 49.68%
· Reuse and recycling rate 50.32%
