Arkwright Street's own page doesn't say whether it has a mattress skip. Across Greater Manchester, Recycle for Greater Manchester says most centres do, so ask the staff at the gate before you unload. Unlike fridges or furniture, a used mattress can't go to the Renew reuse shops. See the Arkwright Street tip page.
Private collection
If you can't get it downstairs or into a car, a licensed collector will take it straight from the room. As a UK guide, expect around £20 to £50 for one mattress, more for a king size or a whole bed.
