Mattress collection in Aylesbury Vale
Disposing of your old mattress used to be so simple. Buy a new bed or mattress and the retailer would take the old one away. While a few retailers still offer a collection service, it’s no longer free.
Increased costs and liabilities now prevent most retailers from collecting your old mattress. That’s where Collect Your Old Bed comes in.

Typically you have two options when you need to get rid of your old mattress. You can:
- Take it to your local household recycling centre.
- Have it collected by Buckinghamshire County Council.
Using a household recycling centre in Aylesbury Vale
Buckinghamshire has three household recycling centres. Aston Clinton, Raban’s Close in Aylesbury and Yonder Slade in Buckingham.
They are open all week, with Aston Clinton and Buckingham being open 7 days a week. Each is open to the public and currently accept mattresses from the general public.

Mattress recycling
Councils are working hard to improve recycling rates but there is still a long way to go. Even if you place items in recycling, there is no guarantee it will be recycled. Most councils collect more recycling than they have capacity for so some will still end up in landfill or be incinerated.
