Old mattresses have been collected Tonnes of waste has been diverted away from landfill Bed Collect is an eco-friendly bed recycling business based in Melbourne and is 100% Australian owned. We collect mattresses and bases from both domestic and commercial clients within 30km of the Melbourne CBD and manufacture and deliver refurbished beds to charities. We have been operating since 2012 and since then, have diverted more than 50,000 beds away from landfill, recycled more than 80% of all components from mattresses and bases collected and provided more than 10,000 beds to those in need. Every year, Australians send more than 1 million mattresses to landfill. That means more than 10,000 tonnes of steel springs from mattresses, for example, are left to rust and rot in the ground for over 100 years! We are dedicated to attacking this environmental issue head on and even though we are just a small business, we can make an impact. On average every year, we recycle more than 150 tonnes of steel and more than 50 tonnes of foam/ticking from mattresses alone.
And we are not only committed to helping the environment but also helping those in need. As such, any steel springs that can be salvaged from mattresses we collect will be sent across to our manufacturing plant to be used in refurbished mattresses for charitable organisations. Since start of operations, we have provided more than 10,000 high quality refurbished beds to charities like St Vincent de Paul Society, The Salvation Army and Haven Home Safe. Our products and services can help you reduce both your waste fees and environmental footprint, whilst staying within your budget and moving toward sustainability.

OK for singles but not when it came to getting rid of our QS bed!! Steve & his colleague were polite, on time and efficient - and happy to come inside to retrieve the mattresses. I had to suddenly relocate to Sydney due to a promotion and had to leave most of my possessions to a removal company my company had arranged.
I had an old bed that I had been intending to replace so decided that since I had a new bed in my present location that I was satisfied with, I decided to search online to rid myself of the old bed instead of transporting it for no obvious reason to Sydney. I found Melbourne Mattress Recycling online and rang them and was able to organise the bed pickup with minimal fuss, and being in Sydney I payed them online and the bed was picked up as promised on the nominated day via a third party I organised to let them in. They called him before they arrived as promised and everything went smoothly. 'Wow' is the only way I can describe your great service even though i am not normally lost for words! Would not recommend business. Very little flexibility with pickup. Difficult to deal with. Very expensive and difficult to decipher the price breakdown and payment process. Man on the phone was quite demeaning and rude. I appreciate that you can call for a time the night before but that means little when the time is absolutely inconvenient and they show up an hour later than quoted anyway.
Positive - they picked up the mattress and frame as requested. These days good old customer service is hard to find. I telephoned Melbourne Mattress Recycling after hours and spoke to a very obliging and well mannered guy named Steve. Arranging my two king size mattresses to be removed from my 27th floor apartment was easy. I received a polite confirmation call from the driver giving me the precise time of pick up and the guys arrived on time as promised. It was a pleasant quick procedure and all for a very minimal price i thought taking into account the effort needed to lift the bulky items. Next time i need this kind of service i will definately be calling these guys as their service was excellent and inexpensive. Well done guys, its great to see young guys doing a great job! Thank you again :-) unable to provide even an approximate pick up time the day before, vague and unhelpful. I cancelled their services when told that the items would not be collected until 6.00pm (optimistic estimate I'm sure) after waiting around all day for them to arrive.
The business has requested that my review be removed. This will NOT be done and stand completely by the comments made. I did phone TWICE the evening before to seek an approximate time for the pick-up. I was told that this had not been worked out on both occasions because of workload and then computer malfunction. No call back was received to advise that the time had been calculated. At 3.00pm on the day of pick-up I again phoned to find out arrival time. I was told 6.00pm or after. As I was 35kms away from my own home (the pick-up was at my deceased mother's house) this time was completely unacceptable. The fact that I was so far away from my home, and therefore unable to be at the pick-up address within half an hour, had been explained to the business owner when booking the bed removal. Therefore it is considered that if "excellent" service was being provided this factor would be taken into consideration. I called these guys to collect an old queen mattress and they scheduled me in easily.
They called about 20 minutes beforehand, came exactly when they said they would and were really friendly and efficient. And the service itself is so cheap ($35). Incredibly easy process from start to finish. Only $35 for my heavy queen double to be picked up. Paid online, received a call that day to arrange pickup and found Steve to be amazing to deal with. I ordered an online collection for my old queen mattress on their website and was pleasantly surprised to receive a confirmation call within 2 hours advising that they could collect my mattress the following day. They called me 30 minutes before they arrived and were very polite and professional. I was very impressed, particularly with the level of service compared with the price charged. We had an old queen size mattress to get rid of. I rang Melbourne Mattress Recycling who were able to come and collect it the next business day. Payment was easy using their online system via paypal. They collected as arranged with no difficulties (despite our place being a little bit hard to find, and some confusing instructions about where the mattress would be left).
