Mattress collection in Macclesfield
The average bed should be replaced once every six to eight years. Given how many people live in Macclesfield, that’s a lot of old mattresses!
So, what happens to your old one?
- Pay for the retailer to take it away
- Take your mattress to the tip
- Have the council collect it as bulk waste
- Use Collect Your Old Bed
Pay for the retailer to take it away
Paying for the retailer you bought your bed from to take away your old mattress is the easiest way to dispose of it.
However, not all retailers offer this service anymore as it takes time, effort and costs them money.
Some retailers will offer mattress collection but will charge for it.
Take your mattress to the tip
If you have a car that can safely transport the mattress, you could take it to the Macclesfield recycling centre on the A356 in Gawsworth.
That’s great if your car is big enough, you have the time and energy and don’t mind the queue while you wait.
Have the council collect it as bulk waste
Cheshire East council does provide a bulk waste collection service for Macclesfield. It’s a convenient way of disposing of your old bed.
It costs £41.50 for between 1-3 items but the council won’t take the mattress if it has been soiled. Exactly what ‘soiled’ means isn’t explained so we would recommend giving them a call beforehand.

Macclesfield mattress recycling
We mean it when we say 100% of your old mattress is recycled. We have partnered with leading recyclers to develop a complete recycling service for mattresses.
We guarantee all of the mattresses, even the metal fixtures, and fittings will be fully recycled and reused.
Nothing goes to landfill. Nothing is incinerated. Every mattress is fully recycled.
- Wooden mattress parts are turned into wood chippings for biomass fuel or garden mulch.
- Mattress filling is cleaned and shredded to be reused as padding for furniture or underlay for carpets.
- Fabric mattress covers are cleaned and the material reused in new furniture and other products.
- Steel mattress springs and fixings are melted and turned into new steel for a variety of manufacturing uses.
Steel can be reused constantly while materials will be recycled as many times as possible.
Dispose of your old mattress responsibly.
