Mattress Collection, Recycling & Upcycling in Ireland

Need an old mattress collected and recycled responsibly? ECOMATT provides a circular mattress recycling and upcycling solution for households, apartments, landlords, hotels, student accommodation and businesses across our service area.

From old mattress to useful new material

CIRTEX takes materials that would previously have been sent for incineration or landfill and transforms them into upcyclable, high-performance products.

The process is designed to reduce Ireland’s carbon footprint while supporting local industry and creating sustainable Irish-made materials.

1. Recover

Used mattresses are collected from homes, apartments, landlords, hotels, colleges and businesses.

2. Process

Mattress materials are separated and prepared for responsible reuse, recycling and upcycling.

3. Manufacture

Recovered materials are transformed into products for insulation, bedding, furniture and upcycled mattress ranges.

Mattress recycling FAQs

Once I place my order, how soon will my mattress be collected?
Once you place an order, it will be added to Stream, our scheduling system, which organises collection routes efficiently. Please allow 2–3 business days to receive your TEXT message confirming your collection date and time window. We look forward to collecting your mattress within 4–6 working days.
Is mattress recycling the same as mattress upcycling?
No - While both recycling and upcycling aim to reduce waste and promote sustainability, recycling focuses on material recovery and mass processing, whereas upcycling focuses on creativity, value addition, and extending the life of products. Choosing upcycling over recycling, when feasible, can maximise environmental benefits by reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions while producing unique, functional items.
Do you collect mattresses from apartments?
Yes. Apartment collections can be arranged.
Can you collect mattresses from landlords, hotels or student accommodation?
Yes. The service is suitable for landlords, letting agents, hotels, student accommodation, businesses and organisations that need multiple mattresses removed. For commercial requests, you can book online or call 043 3347511
What mattress sizes can be collected?
We collect single, small double, double, king and super king mattresses. We also collect bed bases, divans and frames.
Why choose a recycling and upcycling service instead of ordinary disposal?
A dedicated circular collection route ensures your old mattress is put back to work rather than wasted. By recovering steel, foam, fibres and textiles, we dramatically cut what ends up in landfill or incineration. Those reclaimed materials feed directly into Irish-made products and local circular manufacturing, supporting jobs, reducing carbon emissions, and keeping valuable resources in Ireland’s economy instead of throwing them away.
How do I book a mattress collection?
Send your county, town or Eircode, the number of mattresses, the mattress sizes and access details. We will confirm the collection options and price.
