    Folks, I need to dispose of an old mattress in Dublin, I don't want to take anytime off work. I live in Artane, how would I go about disposing of it?
    Thanks
    Brian

    There's a container for them in the Recycling centre at the North Strand. Not sure if their hours would suit you though. 10am - 4pm
    The place up by Coolock Garda station might take them - don't know for sure.

    I think the traditional method is to drop them in the royal canal round the back of Des Kelly's :pac:

    I don't think the centre beside coolock guard station takes them. The place on the north strand will take it if you have a way of getting it to them or if it's in decent condition you could stick it on adverts gumtree or freetradeireland someone might take it.

    You could give it away for free on Adverts.ie and see if someone picks it up.

    You could use www.freecycle.org as well, someone may come take it off you.

    Take Bart Simpson's advice
    Homer: [confronting the trampoline with a buzzsaw Checkmate, Mr. Trampoline.

    Homer charges at the trampoline, screaming in rage, but the cord snaps back, not long enough, pulling him off his feet. He inadvertently tosses the buzzsaw in the air and it coils around the trampoline, along with its cord. Elsewhere, in the kitchen, the plug at the end of the cord is pulled out in the process, taking the socket and a large section of the kitchen wall with it.

    Homer: [leaning against the trampoline in resignation] All right. All right, you win for now. But someday you'll RUST! RUST I TELL YA! 

    He starts laughing insanely and falls to his knees, Bart approaches

    Bart: Dad. Dad! [Homer stops laughing] Do you really wanna get rid of this trampoline?
    Homer: [sober] Uh-huh.

    Bart: Observe, a bike lock!

    Bart locks the trampoline to a pole using the bike lock

    Bart: Now just turn around and count to three. One...two...three!

    They turn around and see Snake Jailbird cutting the chain with some kind of shears

    Bart: Uh...better make it five!Snake (off-screen): Alright! I got me a bed!]

    I don't mind giving it away the only problem is the spring is poking out on one side.. so better to dispose it

    not sure, if you can fit it in a car it would probably be €24?

    Recycling companies would take it off you for about that price(25 quid). Thing is its great people posting links to sites that take mattresses but as most of us have cars, we have no way of getting a mattress to those facilities!!
