We will collect mattresses within 24-48 hours after your clean up service.

Please do not remove mattress from the footpath after your clean up service has been provided.

What happens to my mattress once taken?

The mattresses are either refurbished or recycled.

Mattresses good enough to be refurbished are:

• cleaned

• sanitised

• sealed in a bag

• sold or donated through the op-shop network.

The remaining mattresses are pulled apart and the various materials used as follows:

• steel springs are recycled as scrap metal

• foam is reused by the carpet industry

• husk is made into hanging baskets, door mats and mulch

• fabric and felt pads are used to make boxing bags

• timber is made into kindling or mulch

For information or to report if your matterss is not collected, please call us on 9839 6000.
