Does the Old Kent Road Refuse and Recycling Centre accept mattresses?


Recommended Posts

I can't get through to anyone on the phone number and it's not clear online if mattresses are accepted there (although it does say they will collect them as part of the bulky waste service). Would be good to know to save a wasted trip and we'll have to pay to get a bulky waste collection instead.


Thanks very much.

if only we were allowed bonfires, what a blaze we could have tonight, - coming home yesterday from Peckham, I counted five. (always double), we could stack them and have a zipwire, we could stack them and have parachute training, we could lay a pile of them, springless, and jump around, we could ....

There is a dumping ground for old mattresses and used tyres by Camberwell Old Cemetery. Langton Road.


Always amazes me as Lewisham pick up mattresses from outside your house so it must be you Southwark residents!


The tyres are from dodgy businesses. Never understood why people fly-tip.

malumbu, do you mean Langton Rise? If so, I drove down there this weekend and saw all the mattresses - have never seen that there before but maybe I've missed them. I would guess it's the same person, likely a disreputable waste collector who has been paid to take them away, rather than an actual resident.

Langton Rise of course, sorry. There is often a pile of tyres or builder's waste - clearly shady businesses.


Currently a mattress on the Lewisham (top end) of this street - I expect ondined nipped in when we weren't looking.


But it always gets me that people can be bothered to put a mattress into a van and drive there, when (certainly in Lewisham) it is pretty easy to get the Council to collect free of charge.

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
