PUTTING THE BOUNCE BACK INTO MATTRESS RECYCLING IN NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE 2010/2011 was not a good year for Newcastle City Council, with statistics demonstrating that the percentage of household waste being reused, sent for recycling or composting had dropped from 41% to 33% from the previous year 2009/2010 (source: DEFRA data, England Recycling, 2011). With EU and national targets which dictate that 50% of household waste should end up recycled, rather than languishing in landfill, by 2020 the council have needed to take action to improve these statistics, particularly 2015 sees the UK halfway to the decade’s target deadline. Up to 20 bags of garden waste Up to 5 bags of rubble Furniture items including mattresses and beds. However, the biggest advantage has been that the new system for bulky waste also allows the council to strip all collected and self-hauled items of their recyclable components, an action which seems to have helped the council to get back on track with that 50% target, as 2012/2013’s statistics for the area’s waste management showed a rise in recycled household waste to approximately 45% (Source
: Newcastle Upon Tyne City Council). The fee for each bulky waste collection is £15. For this a varying amount of items can be collected. Gauging the amount of items which count as “one collection” can be confusing. The council stipulates that one collection can be items which are broadly the equivalent of 20 bags of garden refuse. For example, a bed, mattress, 2 cabinets and a 3 drawer chest are the maximum in one collection, but of course the overall size and weight of such items can vary considerably. Bulky items can only be put outside the night before collection is due, no sooner otherwise households could be fined for fly-tipping. Collection staff cannot enter homes, so households must remove the items from their own homes… not easy for all families, particularly the elderly or disabled who might not be able to manoeuvre a large mattress or divan base out of the house. An ideal alternative, to help ensure that beds and mattresses are recycled, but often at less cost and greater convenience than council-run schemes come from Collect Your Old Bed’s system, which offers several additional advantages:
Costs involved can be significantly less. Single bed prices start from £9.99 and all prices are listed, no gauging or guess-work; Collect Your Old Bed can collect when it suits householders and they will collect from inside the house… no having to lug items outside; The service is easy and convenient to use, with a simple three-step online process using the Collect Your Old Bed website: Enter the postcode for collection; Add the number and types of items to be collected; Select a collection date and complete contact details. Mattress fabric can be recycled into carpet padding and other textiles; Recycled wood components has new potential as kitty litter, pet bedding, garden mulch and chippings, biomass fuel; Recycled steel mattress parts and bed base springs can be repurposed into hardware items – with the steel remaining recyclable across many lifetimes! With plenty of options including council bulky waste pick-ups and Collect Your Old Bed mattress collection and recycling in Newcastle, local households are taking great steps towards keeping a focus on recycling and helping to support the local, national and global environment.

After doing lots of research I found it had all the features I wanted but without the massive price tag of similar mattresses in other stores.” “I bought my OMF Rejuvenate mattress two weeks ago, I now have the best night's sleep I have ever had. The shopping centre at Tuggerah has three mattress stores, I definitely chose the right store. The staff were knowledgeable and very friendly.” “We bought our mattress from you in April and we love it. Our prevoius mattress cost $4000 and we never had a good night's sleep. Our Rejuvenate mattress which we got from you is fantastic and we now look forward to a great night's sleep.” “My mum purchased on my behalf the Rejuvenate queen mattress and I can say I have had the best night's sleep. When I get home from work at night it's so good to climb into bed and let out a happy sigh. Purchasing a mattress is a big decision. So to help we have created the Matchmaker Quiz.
