Mattresses are one of the most awkward items to get rid of — too big for bins, too floppy to carry easily, and charity shops can't resell them due to hygiene regulations.
BCP Council: £41 for one item, £11 for each extra item. Dorset Council: £40 for the first item, £10 for each extra item (via Dorset Reclaim). Both require you to get the mattress to your property boundary, and you book the collection date with the council.
All Dorset recycling centres accept mattresses. You'll need to transport it — strap it to a roof rack or use a van/trailer (permit needed).
Same-day from any room. We carry it out, load it, and take it for recycling. Add a bed frame for £25.

Usually no — hygiene regulations prevent most charities from reselling mattresses. Some homeless shelters may accept nearly-new mattresses.
