Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.
ChristineStruggling with Mattress Removal in Leeds is a common headache, especially when you are trying to manoeuvre a heavy king-size mattress down the narrow staircases of a Headingley HMO or navigating the service lifts of a City Centre loft. At The Rubbish Removers Ltd, we also understand that dragging old beds to the pavement alone isn’t just difficult, it is often impossible in Leeds’ diverse housing mix, from the back-to-back terraces of Harehills to high-rise apartments. Therefore, we provide a professional, fully licensed removal service where our uniformed two-man teams come inside your property, do all the heavy lifting and ensure your old mattress is recycled ethically.
Additionally, we are a family-run business with over 20 years of experience serving West Yorkshire and we pride ourselves on being a Which?

We Collect From Inside: Unlike the local authority collection service, which strictly requires items to be left on the pavement, we collect directly from your bedroom. This is essential in Leeds, where many residents in city centre apartments or back-to-back terraces simply do not have the outdoor space to leave a mattress without blocking the pavement. Our team handles the stairs so you don’t have to.
Protection & Care: Moving a bulky mattress through tight hallways requires care. Therefore, our crews are trained to manoeuvre awkward items without scuffing your walls or damaging banisters. We treat your home with respect, ensuring that we protect your flooring and lifts while extracting bulky furniture.
Speed & Reliability: We offer a same-day service, which is perfect when your new bed is being delivered and you need the old one gone immediately. There is also no need to wait weeks for a slot; we act as an emergency service for waste, helping you reclaim your space instantly.
Bed Frame Removal Included: We don’t just take the mattress. We can dismantle and remove bed frames, headboards and ottomans during the same visit. Therefore, this saves you the hassle of dealing with different disposal methods for wood, metal and fabric.

• Student Clearance in Headingley: We removed three double mattresses and dismantled bed frames from a shared HMO. Our team used a “Wait & Load” approach to avoid blocking the busy street, which is a common issue with skip permits in student areas.
• Loft Clearance in Leeds City Centre: A customer needed a super-king mattress removed from a 5th-floor apartment near the Corn Exchange. Therefore, we utilised the service lift and ensured the communal corridors remained spotless, adhering to the building’s strict management rules.
• Terrace Clearance in Harehills: We successfully navigated the tight, steep staircase of a back-to-back terrace to remove an old memory foam mattress and a heavy wooden frame, saving the homeowner from attempting a dangerous DIY removal.

2. We Arrive: Our uniformed 2-man team arrives in a specific time slot. We will give you a quick call 30 minutes before we get there.
3. We Remove: We carefully carry the mattress and bed frame out from your bedroom, manoeuvring around furniture and tight corners safely.

We cover the entire Leeds metropolitan area and surrounding districts. Our local crews are familiar with the routes and parking restrictions across the city.
Q: Do I need to get the mattress to the ground floor?
A: No. Our professional team will collect your mattress from any room in the house, whether it’s a basement, a third-floor apartment or a loft conversion. Moreover, we do all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to risk injury or damage to your home.
Q: Do you take large/awkward items (e.g. Super King Mattresses/Sofa Beds)?
A: Yes. We have large, purpose-built vehicles and the tools required to dismantle and remove even the largest beds and sofa beds.
Q: Is your disposal legal?
A: Absolutely. We are Environment Agency Registered (License CBDU409710) and committed to ethical disposal. We provide a full paper trail, including a Waste Transfer Note, so you can be confident your waste is being handled legally.
Q: Does Leeds City Council collect from inside my house?
A: No. Leeds City Council’s bulky waste service is strictly pavement only. This can be very difficult for residents in back-to-back terraces or flats where leaving items outside is either physically impossible or poses a fire risk and obstruction.
Q: I live on a narrow street in Headingley, can you still help?
A: Yes. We know that parking in areas like Headingley and Harehills can be extremely tight due to on-street parking and narrow lanes. Our vans are much more mobile than skip lorries and can pull up safely for a quick loading service without needing a road permit.
Q: Can I take my own mattress to the Kirkstall or Seacroft tip?
A: You can, but be aware that Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) like Kirkstall are notoriously busy and often require pre-booking. You will also need a vehicle large enough to transport the mattress safely. Using our service saves you the queue and physical effort.
