Licensed & Responsible Service

The Rubbish Removers Ltd are a fully licensed waste carrier (Licence No: CBDU409710) registered with the Environment Agency. We are also proud members of the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence scheme and Which? Trusted Trader.

We commit to environmentally responsible waste disposal by handling all waste ethically and following all regulations. As part of our mattress and bed removal service, we provide a waste transfer note after the clearance, detailing the time and location of your waste disposal.

Mattress Removal Service

Once your old mattress or bed has been collected, we take care of the entire disposal process from start to finish. All items are transported to licensed waste transfer facilities where they are carefully managed in accordance with UK waste regulations.

Mattresses contain a variety of materials, including foam, fabrics, metal springs and timber components, which can often be separated and recovered for recycling. By using approved disposal facilities and prioritising recycling wherever possible, we help reduce unnecessary landfill waste while ensuring your unwanted mattress is handled in an environmentally responsible way. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing your waste is being managed legally.

Case Study: Student Accommodation Clearance

Each year, student accommodation providers face the challenge of clearing large volumes of unwanted mattresses, bed frames, furniture and household items as students move between halls, rental properties and accommodation blocks. Managing these bulky items can be time-consuming and physically demanding, particularly during busy changeover periods when multiple rooms need to be cleared quickly and efficiently.

We recently completed an urgent student accommodation clearance for a landlord who required multiple flats to be cleared of unwanted furniture, old mattresses and general waste left behind by previous tenants.

The Perfect Skip Hire Alternative

Many skip hire companies do accept mattresses, but some charge an additional fee because mattresses require separate handling due to their size, materials and recycling requirements. Mattresses should also not simply be mixed with general waste, as many contain recyclable materials such as metal springs, foam and fibres that can be recovered.
