Mattress Disposal in Sutton

Mattress disposal and mattress recycling can often be a difficult process. As mattresses are usually classed as ‘bulky waste’, councils often have separate services for mattress collection which usually are provided at an extra fee.

Mattresses usually take about 10 years to break down and as they can be difficult to get rid of, they are often fly tipped, and with over 40,000 mattresses being thrown out every year in Sutton, it is likely that many of these end up in one of the 3,000 fly tipping incidents that happen each year in this South London borough.

It is essential that the customer checks whether the mattress disposal company you work with is registered with the environmental agency, holds a waste carriers license and is also able to provide a waste transfer note which details the pick up address, the disposal address and the waste carriers details. Unfortunately if your waste is fly-tipped or disposed of recklessly then that will be not only the waste company’s responsibility but also the customers who could face fines or even further legal action. If you are speaking to a waste outfit about mattress disposal and they can provide these documentation then that is a sign to not carry on with them.

Sutton Council offers a bulky waste collection which can be used for mattress disposal type clearances where you have to pay £31 for up to 3 items of furniture, including mattresses. This then goes up to £52 if you would like the council to collect more items - up to a total of 6. You can also dispose of mattresses in your own time if you have a car to transport them, at the Kimpton Park Way Reuse and Recycling Centre where they will remove and dismantle the mattress for you. However, using council-run services can often be time consuming and difficult to organise due to the high demand for the service.

At Wayst, we work with a range of mattress disposal companies based in Sutton and a number of others based in surrounding areas that offer mattress removal. We ensure that your mattress disposal and other waste clearance services are carried out by verified partner organisations, whom we have fully vetted and checked before employing their services.
