Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
Old mattresses are one of the most awkward items to get rid of. They're heavy, floppy, and won't fit in your car. In Christchurch, whether you're in Highcliffe, Mudeford and Somerford, mattress removal is one of our most popular services. With mix of bungalows and semi-detached houses common here, there's often a narrow staircase or tight hallway between the bedroom and the front door. We handle the manoeuvring — you just show us which mattress needs to go. Older demographic with high proportion of bungalows. Popular retirement destination. Highcliffe has a mix of family homes and retirement properties. That means we're regularly collecting mattresses from property upgrades, rental turnovers, and downsizers alike. Add a bed frame for £25 if the whole lot needs to go.
While the van's there: add a bed frame (£35), a second mattress (£50), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag)

Your mattress + call-out = £89 total. A half load is £179 — just £90 more to clear the whole bedroom.
BCP Council includes mattresses in their bulky waste scheme at £37.50 for up to 3 items. The catch? 2–3 weeks wait, and you need to get it to the kerbside yourself. Items must be left at the kerbside by 6:30am on collection day. No access to the property. Online booking only. Try getting a king-size mattress through a narrow hallway and out the front door on your own.

Millhams Recycling Centre (1.5 miles from Christchurch) accepts mattresses, but getting one there is the challenge. You'll need to strap it to a roof rack or use a van — and most recycling centres won't let you dump a mattress in general waste; there's a specific bay you need to carry it to. Van/trailer permit required (free, apply online). For most people, a doorstep collection is easier and worth the cost.
Many bungalows with single-level access. Some Highcliffe properties have steep driveways. Mudeford Quay area has narrow access roads. For mattress removal, please strip the bedding before we arrive. If the mattress is going from an upstairs room, let us know when booking so we can plan accordingly — ground floor is included in the price, upstairs may cost a little extra.
