Pocket Spring Mattress Disposal in Dublin

Pocket spring mattresses are heavier and more complex than standard foam models, which makes getting rid of them even harder. You can’t put them out with normal household waste, and dragging them to a recycling centre isn’t realistic for most people.

Rubbish Taxi Dublin provides a complete door-to-door mattress collection service. We come to your property, lift and remove the mattress from wherever it is, load it into our vehicle, and take it away for proper recycling or disposal – all in one simple visit.

How Our Service Works

We designed our pocket spring mattress disposal service to be as straightforward as possible:

  1. You book a collection
    Get in touch by phone or online, tell us what you need removed (for example: one pocket spring mattress and a bed frame), and we give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
  2. We arrive at an agreed time
    Our friendly, uniformed team arrives in a branded truck, at the time you’ve chosen. You don’t need to move the mattress outside – we collect it from inside your home or premises.
  3. We do all the heavy lifting
    We carefully carry the mattress out, even from upstairs bedrooms or tight hallways, taking care not to damage walls, doors or floors.
  4. Responsible disposal
    We bring your pocket spring mattress to a licensed facility where the springs, fabric and fillings can be separated and dealt with properly, with as much as possible recycled instead of going to landfill.

How We Help Our Clients

Choosing Rubbish Taxi Dublin means you get more than just “someone with a van”:

  • Convenience – No need to borrow a van, rope in friends, or struggle downstairs with a heavy mattress. We handle it all.
  • Speed – Ideal when your new mattress is arriving and you need the old one gone the same day or next day.
  • Professionalism – Trained, insured staff who respect your home and your time.
  • Compliance – We operate under the correct waste permits, so you know your mattress is handled legally and ethically.
  • Flexibility – We can collect a single mattress, or combine it with other rubbish removal (old furniture, bags of junk, DIY waste, etc.).

Whether you’re a homeowner replacing a worn mattress, a landlord clearing a property, or a hotel upgrading rooms, we tailor the service to your needs.


Other Types of Mattress Collection

Although this page focuses on pocket spring mattress disposal in Dublin, we collect and dispose of all common mattress types, including:

  • Standard sprung mattresses – Traditional open-coil mattresses of any size.
  • Memory foam mattresses – Heavier, solid foam models that are difficult to move alone.
  • Latex and hybrid mattresses – Often very heavy and bulky, especially in king and super king sizes.
  • Orthopaedic mattresses – Extra-firm or specialist support mattresses.
  • Children’s and cot mattresses – Smaller but still unsuitable for regular bins.
  • Divan bases, toppers and bed frames – Wooden or metal frames, slatted bases, drawers and headboards can all be taken in the same visit.

If you’re not sure what type of mattress you have, that’s no problem – just describe it when you contact us and we’ll advise you.

Practical Tips Before Collection

A few small steps can make your pocket spring mattress removal even smoother:

  • Strip the bed
    Remove sheets, duvet, mattress protectors and toppers before we arrive. Soft items can often be bagged and added to the same collection if needed.
  • Clear the route
    Move small items or obstacles out of the way along the path from the bedroom to the front door so our team can work safely and quickly.
  • Mention access issues
    Let us know about narrow staircases, attic rooms, or limited parking so we can plan ahead and send the right team.
  • Bundle items
    If you’re also getting rid of a bed base, wardrobe, chest of drawers or general junk, tell us in advance – it’s usually cheaper to remove everything in one go.
  • Book at a convenient time
    Choose a slot that works around your new mattress delivery, work schedule, or tenant move-out to minimise disruption.

FAQ – Pocket Spring Mattress Disposal Dublin

Is pocket spring mattress disposal free in Dublin?

No. Pocket spring mattresses are large and complex to process, so disposal and recycling always involve some cost. Council services are limited and usually don’t offer free doorstep collection. Our service is not free either, but we keep prices competitive and always explain costs upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. More details about Free Mattress Disposal in Dublin.


How much does it cost to dispose of a pocket spring mattress?

Prices depend on the mattress size, access (ground floor vs upper floors), and whether you’re adding other items to the collection. Typically, a single pocket spring mattress will fall within our standard mattress pricing, with discounted rates if you’re disposing of multiple items at once. Contact us with a quick description and we’ll give you a clear quote.


Can you collect from upstairs bedrooms or apartments?

Yes. Pocket spring mattresses are often used on double, king and super king beds in upstairs rooms, and we remove them every day from apartments, townhouses and duplexes. Our team is trained to carry bulky items safely down stairs and through tight spaces.


What happens to my pocket spring mattress after you take it away?

We transport your mattress to a licensed facility where it is dismantled. The metal pocket springs, fabric and fillings are separated and treated appropriately, with recyclable materials sent for further processing. This approach reduces the amount going to landfill and ensures your old mattress is dealt with responsibly.


Do I need to wrap the mattress in plastic?

You don’t have to, but if the mattress is very old, dusty or has been stored in a shed or garage, wrapping it in plastic or an old sheet can help protect hallways and stairwells. If you’re unsure, just ask when you book and we’ll advise you.


Can you take other rubbish at the same time?

Absolutely. Many clients use a mattress collection as an opportunity to clear out extra clutter. We can remove:

  • Old furniture (sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
  • Black bags of household junk
  • Carpet and underlay
  • Garage or shed contents
  • Small DIY and renovation waste

Combining items in one visit is often more economical than arranging multiple collections.


Do you offer same-day or urgent mattress disposal?

In many cases, yes. If we have space on our route, we can arrange same-day or next-day pocket spring mattress collection in a lot of Dublin areas. Let us know how urgent it is and we’ll do our best to fit you in.


Do I need to be at home for the collection?

It’s best if you’re there, but if that’s not possible we can sometimes arrange contactless collection, for example if the mattress is left in a secure front garden, side passage or porch. This would need to be agreed in advance when you book.


Can businesses and landlords use this service?

Definitely. We regularly work with:

  • Landlords and letting agents
  • Hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses
  • Student accommodation providers
  • Care homes and serviced apartments

If you’re replacing several mattresses at once, we can schedule a bulk collection at a time that minimises disruption for guests or tenants.
