Memory Foam Mattress Disposal in Dublin

Replacing your old memory foam mattress can feel like a breath of fresh air – literally, with better sleep on the horizon. But hauling away that dense, body-hugging slab is no small feat, especially in Dublin’s tight urban spaces. At Rubbish Taxi Dublin, we specialise in memory foam mattress collection and disposal, making the process seamless, legal, and eco-conscious for homes, rentals, and businesses across the city.

Our service takes the headache out of bulky waste removal, collecting your mattress directly from your bedroom, apartment, or office, then responsibly recycling up to 85% of its materials. No lifting, no fines, no landfill guilt – just a clutter-free space and peace of mind.

Why Memory Foam Mattresses Need Special Handling

Memory foam – that slow-responding, contouring material – is heavier and more compact than traditional spring beds, often weighing 30-50kg for doubles. It’s not compressible like regular foam, so it won’t fit in household bins or standard skips. Plus, its synthetic polyurethane composition requires licensed processing to avoid environmental harm.

Rubbish Taxi steps in with trained teams equipped for the job. We navigate Dublin’s challenges like narrow staircases in Georgian flats or upstairs bedrooms in Clondalkin semis. Whether it’s a single for a guest room or a king for your master suite, we handle it all – from loading to licensed disposal – ensuring compliance with Dublin City Council and EPA rules.

Expert Advice for Smooth Mattress Removal

Prep like a pro to save time and money:

  • Strip It Down: Remove sheets, protectors, toppers – bag them separately.
  • Clear the Path: Ensure 70cm+ doorways; move rugs or obstacles.
  • Wrap If Needed: Plastic sheeting for dusty or pet-haired foams prevents mess.

For memory foam specifically, avoid cutting it yourself – release VOCs and void recycling.
