Mattress recycling in Richmondshire
While recycling rates have increased in Richmondshire over the past couple of years, there is still a lot of work to do. Even when collected for recycling, it isn’t guaranteed to be reused.
So even if you have the council collect it or drop it off at your local recycling centre, there’s no guarantee it will be recycled. Collect Your Old Bed can offer that guarantee.
When you replace your old mattress, you usually have three methods of disposing of your old one.
You can:
- Take it to your local recycling centre
- Have your council collect it
- Have the retailer collect it
Take it to your local recycling centre
Richmondshire has a few recycling centres around the region. This page on the council’s website outlines each of them.
As long as you can fit the mattress into your car and time your visit right, this can be a convenient way to dispose of your old mattress. Time it wrong and you could queue for a while.
Have Richmondshire council collect it
Richmondshire council operates a bulk waste collection service. It costs £47 for up to 5 items, with no option for single item collection. That compares well to other councils but it’s still expensive!
Have the retailer collect it
Retailers used to collect your old mattress when they delivered the new one. As soon as they began having to pay to recycle them, that practice all but stopped.
Some retailers still offer to take away your old mattress but will charge you for the privilege.
