How do i get rid of an old mattress?
What is old to you may not be so old to someone else. If the mattress is still in good condition and can be used again after a thorough clean, then it’s worth advertising in your local newspaper or on auction websites. Although you probably won’t get much money for it, it is a simple way to just get rid of an old mattress without having to take it somewhere yourself. You can also call the store where you buy your new mattress from and ask if they can pick it up when delivering your new set. A lot of retailers offer this service free of charge or for a small fee. Do not dump it by the side of the road or at the bottom of a lake! Contact your local sanitation department, which might be able to pick up your old mattress or tell you the nearest tip or dump where they will take the mattress off your hands.
