Mattress Recycling & Removal at Clearabee
We have opened our very own mattress recycling facility capable of reclaiming materials so that as little goes to waste as possible.
One of the hardest parts of recycling is separating an item into its raw materials so that different waste streams are not mixed. From sofas to mattresses we are able to process a wide range of waste while achieving high rates of recycling
Waste collection
Mattress removal with Clearabee
Over 150,000 jobs are completed yearly from locations across the nation.
Opening our own mattress recycling centre that can shred thousands of sofas per year.
Our new facility will be able to reclaim more materials from mattresses and prevent unnecessary waste.
Efficient
Mattress recycling with Clearabee
With people tending to replace their mattresses every 6-8 years results in a constant flow of mattresses that require disposing of. This is one of the reasons they are one of the most commonly fly-tipped items, due to the sheer amount that require disposing of in the first place.
We are committed to the responsible management of waste and now we can even process the waste we collect ourselves, assuring our customers as much materials are reclaimed from their old mattresses as possible.

Our mattress recycling process
Mattress processing
We purchased our first facility in Birmingham and quickly set to work laying the groundwork to create our own waste processing facility. The goal was to create a facility that could process mattresses and other types of waste efficiently and in compliance with the new POPs legislation.
The shredding line and machinery can dismantle and separate items such as fabric and metal from each other into manageable piles. This is very efficient as the separation is also an automated process.
Capacity to process hundreds of mattresses daily
All metals extracted & separated
Our mattress recycling process
The result
Raw materials such as metal can be sold to be used in new products. Not everything can be recycled and the small amounts of materials that cant can be delivered to a separate facility to be incinerated to prevent anything from going to landfill.
We also are able to process these materials quickly as mattress waste regulations state that you can only store a certain amount of mattresses at any one time.
Opened 2023
High rates of reclaimed materials
Reducing our carbon
Our very own recycling facility
The planet and the environment have always been at the forefront of the Clearabee business and will continue to play a huge part.
From our carbon offsetting projects to ambitious new initiatives involving our own waste processing facilities, we’re committed to handling waste responsibly.
One of our larger efforts to become a carbon-neutral company is through our Clearabee forests. Collectively, we have planted over 43,000 trees at multiple sites across the UK.
As well as offsetting the carbon we emit, we strive to reduce what we output in the first place.
Our van teams are stationed across the country which allows us to make short and efficient journeys to our rubbish collection jobs and then to local waste transfer stations.
Live commissioning from January 2023 with permit issuance.
Capacity for 1 million items of furniture per year.
We keep a close eye on changing legislation to always be compliant
