Ecoactiv collects all types of mattresses such as innerspring foam and latex but only upholstered box bases on wheels/castors/legs. We are committed to helping you recycle everything that comes with your mattress, so that includes dismantled bed frames and slats. All sizes are available for collection: Cot, Single, Queen and King sized mattresses.

We currently offer collections from both homes and commercial businesses, in Melbourne Metro. We are working on making our mattress recycling service available Australia-wide; including other major states like Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

You can leave your mattress for collection from your driveway, garage, carport, apartment building loading dock, or nature strip. Please ensure your mattress has been packaged correctly and placed outside of your booked location before your pick-up date or time. You will receive instructions on how to separate and / or package your items through or after the booking process in an email. It is important that you read this carefully and follow the packaging and labeling instructions.

Ecoactiv offers mattress pickups at $80 for all sizes.

Over 300,000 mattresses are sent to landfill each year in Victoria. This is equivalent to over 5,700 per week. Mattresses are made of valuable materials that are recyclable, this is wasted when they aren’t repurposed or disposed of correctly. 

By recycling your mattresses correctly you:

• Help reduce the amount of raw materials extracted from the environment
• Help reduce air and water pollution as a result of the extraction and processing of raw materials
• Reduce landfill

For the health and safety wellbeing of our drivers and handlers, we require all mattresses to be covered in a plastic cover and no parts of the mattress to be exposed. It is also important your mattress arrives at the recycler intact to maximize its recyclability. You will receive instructions on how to separate and/or package your items through or after the booking process in an email.

1.8 million mattresses end up in landfill each year across Australia. This not only harms the environment but also imposes additional costs on local authorities for cleanup and correct disposal. Mattresses contain materials like foam, metal springs, and fabric that don’t break down easily. When you consider their large size and how difficult they are to compress, you can understand the significant amount of landfill space they occupy if not recycled.
