Mattresses

Mattresses include sponge, foam, latex, inner spring or ensembles. Mattresses require different handling methods to ordinary waste to ensure safe disposal.

Will WSN Environmental Solutions accept my mattresses?

Mattresses and ensemble bases are accepted for recycling at all WSN transfer stations and landfills. Rather than sending these items to landfill, springs are removed and recycled as scrap metal, foam is recycled and turned into carpet underlay, and wooden frames are used in the production of biofuels.

There is a limit of one ensemble (mattress plus base) or two individual mattresses per visit. Each individual mattress and ensemble base is charged at $25 each, regardless of the size - a complete ensemble (mattress and base together) will attract a charge of $50.

Mattresses and ensemble bases are charged separately to all other waste. This may require customers to drop off these items first and then return to the weighbridge to weigh any other waste.

Quantities in excess of one ensemble (mattress plus base) or two (2) individual mattresses are only accepted at some WSN sites, and must be booked in at least one working day prior to disposal. Bookings can be made by telephoning 1300 651 116 between 7.00 am and 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Please note that unused bookings do not carry forward - if you miss your appointment, you will need to make a new booking.

What else can I do with my mattresses?

If your mattress is in reasonable condition, contact a charity organisation to see if they will collect it.
