Got an Old Mattress? Recycle, don't dump it!

 
 
 
 
6,710 old mattresses were dumped on the streets of the borough in the last five months of 2009. Now, in an effort to combat this anti-social behaviour, Lewisham Council are pioneering a new scheme  - the first of its kind in the UK - to collect old mattresses and recyle them responsibly and at no extra cost to residents. To use the free mattress recycling service:
 
  • collect a sticker from Lewisham Council's Access Point or at a local library 

  • place the sticker on the mattress 

  • put your old mattress by your bin, the night before your refuse collection day
