Up to 90% of a mattress can be recycled — springs become scrap metal, foam becomes carpet underlay, and fabric goes to energy recovery. But getting them to recycling is the challenge.
All Dorset recycling centres accept mattresses. There's usually a designated area or bay. You'll need to transport it yourself — strap to a roof rack or use a van (permit required for vans).
Some specialist companies operate mattress recycling services in the South West. They collect in bulk from businesses and councils. Individual household collections are rare from specialist recyclers.
TipRun collects mattresses from £45. We take them to facilities that separate and recycle the components. Same-day collection from any room.
Springs (steel), foam (carpet underlay), wood (chipboard), and fabric (energy recovery). Up to 90% of a mattress can be recycled.
Some skip companies accept mattresses but charge extra (£20–40 per mattress). Check with your skip provider.
