Welcome to NBF Recycle Mattress recycling is growing – driven partly by both consumers and businesses wishing to be ‘green’ and partly by the evidently practical limitations of continuing to direct end of life mattresses into landfill. But there remains many obstacles to overcome and decisions to be made as to the best way in which mattress recycling and end of life should be evolve in both the near and further future. It is our intention to bring together here as much useful information on the subject as we can find – whether it be published reports on mattress recycling; relevant policy documents from government agencies (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland included); contact details and information on mattress recyclers; links to other countries and organisations with an interest in mattress recycling etc. We will also make available here our own biennial survey on the state of mattress recycling in the UK – see the links Below. As well as a useful source of information, we hope NBF Recycle will stimulate debate and maybe even solutions which work for all concerned – consumers, retailers, businesses, bed manufacturers and suppliers, local authorities, waste companies and law makers.

Tell us what you have to donate by filling in our online form. One of our team will then give you a call back. We’ll arrange a time to collect your donation, or, if you prefer, you can drop it off at one of our communities. Emmaus communities depend on donations of furniture and other goods to keep their business going.
We also save more than 3000 tonnes of items from going to landfill every year. Just because you no longer need an item, don’t throw it away, by donating it to Emmaus you’re not only keeping it out of landfill, but you’re also making sure it goes to a new home, while also doing something to help others. It goes without saying that we need to be able to re-sell items, but if a piece of furniture is a little bit battered and worn, we can sometimes give it a new lease of life in our upcycling workshops. We accept donations of good quality furniture. We can only take donations of sofas and chairs if they have a fire label, as otherwise we’re not allowed to sell them on. We can also arrange to collect large items from your home. Many of our Emmaus communities are able to PAT test electrical items for safety, which means, unlike a lot of charity shops, we can take donations of electrical items. We can accept all sorts of clothing and fabric donations, and we recycle anything we’re not able to sell on in our shops.
