What we do
Bed & Mattress Disposal
Affordable Bed & Mattress Disposal
Our expert rubbish removal team can remove all kinds of beds and mattresses. It does not matter whether you need a bulky bed or a small bed removing, we can do it. Roughly, a double divan bed and mattress is equivalent to two cubic yards. A double bed frame and mattress on the other hand is closer to one cubic yard. On its own a mattress is about 0.5 – 1 cubic yards.
Bed & Mattress Recycling
Our team is made up of two people and they will sort out all the loading and the unloading of beds and mattresses. Mattresses do tend to be difficult to recycle completely as their construction is complicated. So we try to re-use items as much as possible. If this is not possible, we opt for the most eco friendly removal method.
