Any ideas how I can dispose of an old mattress? Its a double one and wont fit in my car :(leave it outside your gate, the local neds will set fire to it for you.

Do any of the springs need replacing? because there are loads of homeless people that would like it im sure

Well I am not sure about the springs, they were fine however it is folded in half in my kitchen at present so it may well not be so good now

Do you think you could carry it to west street?

I disposed of a double mattress in my little fiesta earlier this year. What you do is fold it over thrice and feed a noose over one end and pull it til you're unable to get it any tighter, do this twice more and the mattress is easily transportable.

Earlier this year I phoned sheffield council as I had a similar problem.

Council: do you live in a council house?
Me: no

Council: are you on benefits?
Me: no

Council: that will be £30 then.

Was tempted to say I will go and leave it outside the council house of someone on benefits then.

Surely council tax covers this and where you live and whether your are on benefits should not affect the cost of disposal.

I know its very unfair, surely paying council tax should count for something! I live on a busy road though and I dont dare dump it in the street, just resent paying the council £30 to collect it
