We all love the feeling of a new mattress, as well as the ultimate feeling of excitement and anticipation as your new bed arrives.
However, one of the most difficult parts of getting a new mattress may be getting rid of your old one. They are large and heavy, so you don’t want to have the burden of doing this yourself.
If you are looking for ways to dispose or recycle your old mattress in Melbourne, we’ve compiled a list of easy ways to lighten the load.
We sell mattresses, but we don't collect and recycle ourselves. We prefer to leave that to the experts.
