Frequently Asked Questions.
You’ve probably heard about recycling paper and plastic bottles, but did you know you can recycle your mattresses too?
Mattress recycling requires less energy, uses up fewer natural resources, and reduces waste to our local landfills.
By recycling, you can help create a greener environment.
When your mattresses are no longer usable, don’t just throw them out the street and into landfills.
Learn how mattress recycling works as we answer your questions.
General
-
Recycling your mattress is better for our environment. You help reduce carbon footprint and minimise the garbage that ends up piling on our landfill. More importantly, mattress recycling can repurpose and reuse the parts of your old mattress, such as springs, coils, foams, wood, and upholstery.
-
At Mattrec Automated Mattress Recycling, we conduct mattress recycling through our unique patented process. Our groundbreaking technology uses high-pressure water jetting and automated handling systems to deconstruct your old mattresses.
-
We can recycle all types of mattress, from box springs, memory foams, and other specialty mattress foams.
-
We will collect your old mattress right at your doorstep. From your home, we will bring the mattress to our facility and put it through the world's first automated mattress recycling process.
-
We make sure the all recycled materials are repurposed to create new usable products. Thus, steel gets recycled into new steel products, while soft materials (i.e. blended with plastic wrapping) can be used to make garden furniture, landscape products, and plastic pallets or used for carpet underlay.
-
Compared to other garbage, mattresses occupy 400% more space. That is why mattresses recycling makes a difference in reducing the trashes dump on the landfills. By recycling your mattress, you do not only reduce the trashes but also help recover valuable materials, such as metals, foams, and fabric, that can be reused and repurposed.
Fees and Services
-
Yes, unlike council collection, we collect your mattress promptly and hassle-free. Since there are operating costs involved when we also use our proprietary technology to recycle your old mattresses, we have fees to cover these expenses. We are cheaper than private or council run waste centres, especially when you factor in our collection service.
-
The fees typically depend on the distance and area where we will collect your old mattresses, but prices start at $65. Please note that if you cancel your collection prior to the agreed collection day, then there is a flat admin fee of $10 deducted for any refunds.
