Whether you’re dealing with a mattress that’s no longer comfortable, or you’re moving and need to clear out your furniture fast, we’re here to help.
We understand that mattress disposal can be a headache. Most mattresses are bulky, heavy, and not something you can simply leave on the curb. Many Sydney councils offer occasional pickups, but they don’t always align with your schedule—and missing a collection can leave you stuck.
That’s where OTG Rubbish Removals steps in.

What’s Inside a Mattress?
You might be surprised by what goes into making a mattress—and why that makes them difficult to dispose of properly. Most mattresses are made from:
– Steel springs or inner coils
– Timber or hardwood frames
– Foam or latex layers
– Synthetic fabrics and glues
These components are bulky and difficult to separate. That’s why many skip bin companies charge a hefty surcharge for mattresses—they’re hard to break down and even harder to recycle without the right equipment.
At OTG, we have the tools and partnerships to ensure as much of your old mattress is reused or recycled as much as possible.
How Often Should You Replace a Mattress?
Experts generally recommend replacing your mattress every 7–10 years, depending on the material and how well it’s been maintained. Over time, mattresses accumulate dust mites, allergens, and bacteria. They also lose structural support, which can lead to neck pain, back pain, and poor sleep.
If you’re waking up with a sore back or you’ve noticed your mattress is sagging or stained, it’s time to let it go.
Common Reasons People Get Rid of Mattresses in Sydney
We collect over 10 mattresses per week across Sydney. Here are some of the most common reasons our customers call us:
1. Bed Bugs and Lice
Infestations like bed bugs and lice can turn a mattress into a health hazard. Once contaminated, it’s almost impossible to clean thoroughly. The safest option is removal and disposal.
2. Stains and Spills
Spilled wine, pet accidents, food stains, and other organic messes can seep into the layers of a mattress, causing smells and even mold growth. In many cases, it’s easier and more hygienic to get a new one.
3. Upgrading to a Bigger Bed
A lot of Sydney residents are upgrading their sleeping arrangements. Whether it’s a move from a double to a queen or king-size mattress, the old one has to go.
4. Flood Damage
We’ve helped many families in Sydney after heavy rain or roof leaks caused water-damaged mattresses. Once waterlogged, a mattress can develop mold and bacteria that pose health risks.
5. Moving or Leaving the Country
If you’re relocating, especially overseas, taking your mattress is rarely an option. Many of our customers in Sydney call us when they’re preparing to move and need a fast, reliable service to clear out bulky items.
6. Health Concerns
If you’re experiencing chronic neck or back pain, your old mattress could be the culprit. A new mattress can make a massive difference to your sleep quality and overall health.
What About Hand-Me-Downs?
Sometimes, mattresses get passed down within families. While the gesture is generous, not everyone wants a used mattress—especially if it’s uncomfortable or unsanitary. We often help families in Sydney who’ve inherited an unwanted mattresses due to downsizing or a deceased estate .
Are Skip Bins a Good Option?
Technically, yes—you can put a mattress in a skip bin. But here’s the catch: most skip bin companies in Sydney will charge extra for mattresses, sometimes up to $200 + per item. That’s because they’re hard to compact and break down and are a nuisance for many skip bin operators .
Skip bins are also impractical if you only need to get rid of one or two bulky items. At OTG Rubbish Removals, we offer flexible, item-specific removals, so you only pay for what we take.

What Happens to the Mattress After We Take It?
We make sure that your mattress is disposed of responsibly. Here’s how:
– Steel coils and springs are separated and sent for metal recycling.
– Timber frames can often be recycled into wood chips or used in construction materials.
– Foam layers may be used in carpet underlay or insulation products.
Recycling mattresses is no easy feat, which is why around 1.8 million mattresses are still disposed of in Australia every year, with many ending up in landfills. However, local councils and private companies are investing in new technologies—like mattress shredders—to make the recycling process easier.
At OTG Rubbish Removals , we’re proud to support these initiatives by working with certified recycling facilities wherever possible.
Do Councils Offer Mattress Collection in Sydney?
Yes, many Sydney councils offer scheduled hard rubbish pickups, which can include mattresses. But there are limitations:
– You may have to wait several weeks for your scheduled date.
– You’re often restricted to placing items on the curb within a tight window.
– Missed pickups can result in fines or complaints from neighbours.
-Sometimes residents organise a council pick up and in the middle of the night neigbours will add more items on to the pile !
We frequently receive calls from customers in all parts of Sydney who’ve missed their council cleanup or need to their mattresses removed fast due to various circumstances . If you’re selling your home or vacating a rental property , you may not have the time to wait around.
