Where to dispose of a mattress

LimerickCity

Good morning all,

I hope that you are keeping well.

I was wondering if a fellow board member might be able to advise on the above.

It is a king size mattress which is currently taking up a large portion of my garden shed, with summer coming along it is starting to become a little bit of a nuisance.

1. Would you know of anyone that might be able to dispose of it for me.
2. Could i dispose of it myself as i have access to a van.
3. And perhaps most importantly. How much would it cost.

Appreciate your help.
Kind Regards,
Limerickcity.

Bring it to the Waste centre on the Dock Road opposite the Cement Factory on the Mungret road and pay about €20 per load to dump it. Bring as much other stuff as well to get value for your money.

All electrical stuff is free to dispose of.

Maybe give one of the small private waste disposal guys a ring, Christy Guerin or the likes. I used him before to get rid of a load of rubbish out of an appartment after the tennants moved out, had no trouble with him!!

Other option would be to head out to Gortnadruma Landfill with it if you have access to a van, they'll definetly take it out there, not sure of the pricing though!

Thanks Alan,

I just rang up a guy from the yellow pages.

Duggan's waste disposal.

They will collect it this afternoon and take it away for €20.

Ring the place in Mungret - the web says they don't take em but I'm sure there's a skip down the end with mattresses and other bits in it.

No wonder so many of them end up on the side of the road so. :rolleyes: Seems a bit of a stupid thing not to accept.

I thought they brought in a skip where you can bring and pay for items that are not fit for recycling. I'm fairly sure a workmate has used it for carpet pieces and a mattress.

Thanks for the information lads.

I called up Mungret and they do indeed take mattress but they are weighed so looking at €15 to €20.

Might aswell just get the lads to take it away and save me the hassle of bringing it out there.

I know your sorted now but green star recycling on the left at the mungret end of the dock road would take these also. Got rid of a lot of stuff there recently that i couldn't bring to mungret. Its a pay by weight system as well.

Mattress €10 each in Mungret.
