Question

What is the most enviromentally friendly way to dispose of a mattress?

Answer 1

its its clean and reusable take it to your local furniture bank or homeless charity someone may appreciate it.

if its unusable many bed sellers offer to take the old one back for a fee of £30 or so and they dismatle it and reuse as many parts as they can.

many councils can also do the same but you need to call then first.

taking it to a tip often doesn't get the recycling involved neither does fly-tipping it!

Answer 2

give it to a second hand shop
