Council collection
On Bury's count list a single mattress is one item, but a double bed with its base, mattress and headboard is five, which fills a £49 Bury bulky collection (checked against Bury Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026). Leave it at the front of the property, whole and covered so it stays dry.

Recycle for Greater Manchester says most of its centres have a mattress container, so ask at Every Street in Bury or Cemetery Road in Radcliffe. Mattresses are not accepted in its donate containers.
Private collection
A licensed collector can take a mattress or bed straight from the bedroom. UK guide prices for a mattress are about £20 to £50.
