What’s The Easiest Way To Recycle My Old Mattress?

Mattress Disposal & Recycling

Old mattresses are one of the biggest thorns in the side for many homeowners performing a cleanout as their large size can make them a hassle to transport. Unfortunately, the hard rubbish collection doesn’t come around all that often and leaving a mattress to rot away in a shed is an undesirable option at best.

Luckily, there is a conveniently located recycling depot that’s positioned just five minutes outside of the Adelaide CBD in Metro Waste. We can accept and process all old and unwanted mattresses at our state-of-the-art recycling depot.

Instead of allowing your old and worn mattresses to take up space, deteriorate and perhaps end up in a landfill, bring them down to Metro Waste. Our recycling depot is equipped to effectively break down mattresses into their components and prepare them for recycling.

What’s in a mattress?

Interestingly, your old mattress contains a range of materials that are quickly and efficiently recycled if the recycling depot has the tools. At Metro Waste, we extract all of the components of an old mattress and sort them so that they can experience proper recycling.

The materials in a mattress can consist of foam, latex, metal springs and other miscellaneous scrap metal, all of which can indeed be recycled and reused. Scrap metal is often melted down and resculpted, but what about foam and latex?

The innards of a mattress including foam, wadding and latex are all completely recyclable at our recycling depot. All of these materials can be recycled into the underlay used before placing down a carpet.

Do you accept commercial volumes?

Although mattresses can be bulky and difficult to transport in large quantities, we can accept commercial volumes of mattresses at our recycling depot. Our large recycling depot has the storage facilities and processing capacity to handle large deposits of mattresses.

Not only are the team at Metro Waste recycling depot able to accept all of your mattresses for recycling, but we also have a mini skip service capable of picking up your mattresses for you. All you need to do is call Metro Waste and order an appropriately sized skip for your residence or commercial property.

One of our friendly administrative staff will assist you in selecting the correct sized bin from our recycling depot to best suit your waste disposal needs. We pride ourselves on the reliability of our skip bin services so you can guarantee that we’ll be on time for you when you need us.

If you’re about to clean out your house and have lots of waste that you could take to a recycling depot, then think of Metro Waste! Our trained personnel will safely and effectively handle all of your trash and recycle what we can.
