Old Mattress Disposal Portland
Old Mattress Disposal service in Portland, Dorset, DT5, 01305 564026.
Mattress disposal has increasingly become a recycling problem. It has been aided by the greater than four million old mattresses and a similar number of box springs being disposed of every year, in conjunction with growing pressures to better manage this waste stream. Landfill pressures and environmental responsibility initiatives have helped position mattress recycling as an emerging opportunity within the recycling industry, with more mattress recycling operations continuing to open.
We collect your Old Mattress in the following areas:
Chiswell, Castletown, Easton, Fortuneswell, Grove, Southwell, Weston, Dorset.
Why recycle your old Mattress.
Mattresses and box springs are created from a number of materials, including wood, metal, fabric and plastic, which can all be recycled once they are separated.
The recovery rate of recyclable bed materials is over 95 percent. We take apart box springs and mattresses by hand. As these products are being dismantled, materials are sorted and segregated. Some materials are baled to save space in the recycling facility and provide transport efficiencies. Wood can be reduced to chips and steel sent to steel recyclers. Materials recovered can include:
- Wood
- Fabric
- Felt
- Foam
- Cotton
- Plastic
Always use a clearance company with a waste carrier licence.
