Re-Cycle Don't Dump!
Your new bed’s in place and the old bedstead and mattress have been dumped outside “for the time being.” But for many, that “time being” is an endless timeline of gradual decay as well as environmental eyesore and shocking stamp of a carbon footprint on the local environment. With over £495 million (and counting) being spent on beds in the UK each year, for the domestic market there are plenty of beds being sold in the UK each year but with only approximately less than 15% of the old ones being recycled.
A small percentage are passed on to others who might need them, some fly-tipped and abandoned and the rest, approximately 169,000 tonnes of mattresses, end up in landfill each year where their non-biodegradable parts fester, including approximately 84,500 tonnes of steel which might have been recycled and used to provide energy.
We provide a service to recycle your old beds and mattresses.
We are able to collect ‘usable’ beds and mattresses.
Some are then offered to local housing charities. Others are ‘up-cycled’ and sold on. But the most important point is that instead of your bed and mattress ending up as part of the 169,000 tonnes in landfill it can be recycled.
Don’t just change the mattress and dump the old, change the habits.
Bed-Recyle can reuse your old bed and mattress.
