Across Australia, mattress waste is a growing environmental challenge. Every year, around 1.8 million mattresses are discarded — many ending up in landfill, where they take up valuable space and can take decades to break down. At The Mattress Recycling Company, we’re working to change that. By partnering with forward-thinking organisations like TEMPUR Australia, we’re building a smarter, more sustainable way to manage mattress disposal — one that gives materials a second life instead of sending them to waste.
A Sustainable Partnership for a Circular Future
TEMPUR Australia is known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and comfort — but it’s also focused on doing what’s right for the planet. Through our collaboration, we help collect and recycle used TEMPUR mattresses, ensuring that over 75% of each unit’s materials are recovered and reprocessed.
Steel springs are melted down for manufacturing, foam becomes new carpet underlay, and textiles are separated for reuse. Together, we’re closing the loop on mattress waste — transforming what was once landfill-bound into valuable raw materials that re-enter Australia’s circular economy.
This partnership shows what’s possible when environmental responsibility becomes part of everyday business. It’s not just about recycling mattresses; it’s about changing the way the industry thinks about waste.
Making Large-Scale Mattress Recycling Easier
While individuals play their part, much of Australia’s mattress waste comes from businesses, hotels, hospitals, and retailers replacing multiple mattresses at once. That’s why The Mattress Recycling Company has developed Bulk & Multi-Item Mattress Collection Services — designed to make large-scale recycling simple and efficient.
We specialise in efficient, large-volume collection for organisations across Victoria. From hotels, hospitals to furniture retailers and local councils, we provide tailored collection solutions that save time, reduce costs, and deliver clear environmental results.
Our experienced team manages the process from start to finish:
- Collection coordination for multiple sites or high-volume projects
- Safe transport and handling of bulky mattresses and bases
- Recycling at The Mattress Recycling Company facilities, where more than 75% of materials are recovered and reused
By choosing The Mattress Recycling Company, businesses and communities can be confident that their waste is being handled responsibly and efficiently.
