Where furniture stores would once include mattress disposal with the price of your new bed, many no longer offer this service. That’s where we come in.

Mattress disposal in Eastbourne and Lewes

- You could take it to your local recycling centre.
- Pay for bulk item removal from the council.

Local recycling
Taking your old mattress to a recycling centre requires you to have a family-sized car, estate or van. It also requires two people to carry a double or king-size mattress safely. It should be free to dispose of your mattress but may involve queuing for a disposal spot.
Bulk item collection
Eastbourne and Lewes councils offer bulk item collection to all residents that includes old mattresses. There is a charge though. Quite a significant one. Lewes District Council charges £55 for 1 to 5 items. Eastbourne Borough Council charges £50 for 1 to 3 items. Those are some of the highest fees of anywhere in the country!
