The above-discussed methods are not the only ways to dispose of your mattress. However, they are the best options as most of them are in line with regulations and are environment friendly.
Unfortunately, research shows that most people prefer burning their mattresses as a disposal method. Although it is a successful method, the fumes released to the environment are harmful to the environment and may even interfere with our respiratory system. Besides, it is hard to control a mattress fire and may cause a hazardous fire if handled carelessly.
Another option is to dispose of your mattress in a skip if you happen to rent one. Before you settle for this option, you should know that it will contribute to a landfill, which is a rising issue in the UK. If you don’t mind, you can dump your mattress in a skip. Just not in another person’s skip or along the road as you may be fined for these.
There are several ways to dispose of your mattress. However, not all of them are safe or environment friendly. Some methods may even land you in trouble, so be careful as you go about it.
