Get the mattresses ready for an agreed collection

Make the count and size unambiguous

A collection of one double mattress is different from several mattresses stored across a property. Give the number of each size and say where they are located. If the size is uncertain, approximate measurements are more useful than a general label. Mention unusually thick or heavy mattresses. Photos can support the description, especially where several items are stacked, but the written list should still identify every mattress expected to leave.

Separate bed parts from mattresses

Frames, divans, headboards and storage bases are separate items to describe if they also need removing. A mattress-only request should not be assumed to include the complete bed. Check the booking list carefully, particularly when arranging removal around a replacement delivery. If another provider is taking the old mattress, settle that arrangement before confirming a separate collection. Keeping the scope clear avoids two services being arranged for one item or an unexpected base being left behind.

Explain the condition before selecting a slot

Tell Scrappa if a mattress is wet, heavily soiled, torn or has exposed parts. Unusual contamination or a concern requiring specialist review should be declared before booking. Photographs should show the real condition rather than hiding damage underneath another mattress or cover. Accurate information helps establish appropriate handling. If the condition changes while stored outdoors, update the description before the visit so it still matches the item waiting to be collected.

Keep it accessible without obstructing others

Remove bedding and personal belongings. Keep the mattress in a suitable accessible location while waiting for the confirmed collection, and avoid leaving it exposed to rain for days. Do not block a pavement, communal hall or fire exit with it. If it is already outside, explain where and in what condition. Any cover should not conceal important condition information or leave loose wrapping across the route. Arrange access for the time that has actually been confirmed.

Check the route from the room

Give the floor, stair turns, low ceilings, lift details and carry distance to lawful vehicle loading. A mattress may be flexible, but that does not mean every heavy or bulky one can be bent through any gap. Explain tight corners and unusual access before booking. Make sure the entry contact can open communal doors and identify the correct mattresses. Avoid trying to carry an awkward mattress alone where that would make preparation unsafe.

Review changes and retain the record

Contact Scrappa before arrival if another mattress is added or its location, condition or access changes. Review the sizes, quantities, slot and full breakdown before payment. Extra items are not automatically covered by the earlier scope. Keep the agreed mattresses identifiable during the confirmed window. After completion, retain the digital waste transfer note and booking record. No universal recycling or reuse outcome is promised for every mattress and condition.

Mattress collection questions

How do I book several mattresses?

Give the quantity of each size and their locations. Include condition and access information for the whole collection.

Is a divan included automatically?

No. List the divan or any other bed components separately if they need removing too.

Can I book without knowing the mattress size?

Provide approximate measurements and a clear description so the item can be identified accurately.

What if it has been left outside?

Explain the location and actual condition before booking, including whether it is wet or damaged.

Can you collect from an upper floor?

Give the floor, stairs or lift and the complete route so handling can be assessed.

Is recycling guaranteed?

No particular recycling or reuse outcome is guaranteed for every mattress. Condition and the appropriate processing route matter.

Compare removal with any replacement take-back

Check whether a new-mattress retailer offers take-back, the sizes and quantity accepted, preparation rules and the timing of removal. A separate collection can suit mattresses already waiting in a property or a clear-out without a new purchase. Compare the full access and charge rather than assuming every option includes upstairs handling or additional bed parts.
