Learn more about Mattress Disposal in West London

Using a professional mattress disposal service from private waste carriers like the ones we partner with at Wayst, is one of the most practical and sustainable ways of disposing of your unwanted mattresses. Whether you are moving home and are wanting a completely new mattress or you simply just want to upgrade your old one for comfort purposes, by using our professional mattress disposal services you can be sure your mattress is being collected and disposed of properly.

We seem to have a major issue with the number of mattresses recycled in England. For instance in West London alone over 100,000 mattresses are disposed of each year, of this not even 14,000 of them are recycled. This number is much lower than it should be considering the majority of mattresses produced are made of materials that can be recycled once they have been broken down. By hiring a professional mattress disposal company to dispose of your mattress you are helping increase the number of mattresses recycled, as all the company will have the correct disposal routes organised for them.

Responsible mattress disposal in West London

The authorities across West London do have services available to their residents for mattress disposal in the form of their bulky waste collection service in most cases. However, this may not be the best option if you are looking for a quick turnaround. If you are able to drive and have a large enough vehicle to fit the mattress in, you may want to take it to your local tip yourself, but by doing so your mattress is less likely to be recycled and may end up in landfill taking up space and contributing to the damage of our planet.

Depending on the condition of your mattress, you may be able to sell it or donate it. Many charities or shelters will accept mattresses donated to them if they are in good condition. By choosing this option you are providing those in need with some necessary comfort while they sleep and are reducing the number of mattresses in landfill.

At Wayst, we have a strict auditing process that allows us to find mattress disposal partners who we can be sure will provide a complete, safe and legal service to all our clients. They have all the required training and qualification and conform to legislation. Our partners will provide you with waste transfer notes and other required documents when they collect your mattress, so you know exactly how your waste was disposed of and where. The dismantling of mattresses takes a lot of time and can sometimes cause injuries, especially if done incorrectly, which is why our service providers use all the recommended tools to complete the job with limited risk. Once the mattress has been broken down into its separate materials like springs and foam, they can be recycled accordingly. At Wayst, we aim to protect our environment, which is why over 90% of the waste we collect is recycled or reused.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in West London

The borough council reuse and recycling centres/tips are the most economical rubbish removal option for west Londoners, however it should be noted that visiting the sites requires residents to be fully compliant with the policies and procedures at the various council operated facilities, and load and transport rubbish to the sites independently. Some reuse and recycling centre staff might be able to offer assistance to residents unloading their vehicles, however it is best to make sure you can safely lift and carry rubbish yourself as there is no guarantee that staff will be available on the day to assist with manual handling of refuse. For residents in Harrow their nearest council operated tip is in HA3, while Hillingdon residents can use the civic amenity in Harefield, and the Weekend Waste facility in west Drayton. Ealing council provides a list of neighbourhood recycling sites throughout the borough by area and subcategory, and Brent council lists all 33 recycling sites in the borough on their website. Richmond council provide a list of community reuse and recycling schemes in the borough, and Hounslow council have detailed guides on their website as part of their strategy for a ‘Cleaner Greener Hounslow’ so that residents know exactly what to do with recyclable and residual waste materials.
