Who'd want to sort through tons of 'used' mattresses? I'd want gloves...

IIRC They can't/don't landfill mattresses anymore..
I know can't shred them for Biomass either as the springs cause mayhem with the shredders.
They have to taken apart by hand - cut open and then they cut the springs out.
Another one tonight in Medway, Kent.

I took a mattress to the local council tip last week, and it went straight into the standard landfill container.
It may go to an incinerator and not landfill.crmcatee said:

At the moment, the weight of the law seems to be directed toward prosecution after the case, rather than pursuing safe and sustainable practices: http://www.mrw.co.uk/news/jailed-waste-operator-ha...

Saw the smoke from this one on my way to Grantham station this morning. Looked fairly impressive and I figured it was some kind of 'waste' fire. CoolC said:
Was just going to pop up a link to that.That company aren't doing too well as they had a fire another site in 2008 (if it is the same company), and someone ended up in a shredder a few years ago:
