Mattresses are large household items made from a combination of materials such as foam, fabric and metal springs.

Why
Mattresses require specialised processing to separate materials. You can strip a mattress yourself, placing textile and foam into General Waste and taking the metal to the Launceston Recycling Centre for free.
Did You Know
A mattress can double in weight over 8–10 years due to the accumulation of dust mites, dead skin cells, and sweat.
