Sofa & Mattress Removal
At Go RubbishGo Ltd., we provide reliable, fully compliant sofa & mattress removal services for homes, rental properties and commercial premises across the UK. Large upholstered items are awkward to move, difficult to dispose of correctly and often rejected by standard waste collections. Our service removes them safely, quickly and responsibly.
Whether you are replacing old furniture, clearing a property or dealing with an urgent removal, our trained teams handle all lifting, transport and lawful disposal—saving you time, effort and uncertainty.
What Is Sofa & Mattress Removal?
Sofa and mattress removal is the specialist collection and disposal of bulky upholstered items that cannot be placed in household bins. These items require proper handling due to their size, weight and materials, many of which must be processed through approved waste streams.
Our sofa & mattress removal service collects items directly from inside your property and ensures they are disposed of through authorised facilities, with recycling and recovery prioritised wherever possible.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Pricing for sofa and mattress removal is based on the size and number of items being removed. This ensures a fair and flexible cost, whether you are removing a single mattress or multiple large sofas.
All costs are agreed upfront, with no hidden charges for labour, lifting, stairs or disposal. You know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Why Professional Sofa & Mattress Removal Is Better Than DIY or Council Services
DIY disposal often requires hiring a van, arranging help and finding recycling centres that accept bulky upholstered items. Many councils charge per item and operate long waiting lists, with strict placement rules.
Our service removes items directly from your property, often on the same day. It is faster, safer and ensures correct disposal without physical strain or uncertainty.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
All waste must be handled in line with UK regulations. We operate as a licensed waste carrier and follow strict procedures for collection, transport and disposal.
Using a compliant provider supports your Duty of Care, protecting you from liability if waste is mishandled or fly-tipped after collection.
Recycling-First Approach and Landfill Reduction
Sofas and mattresses contain materials such as metal frames, wood and textiles that can be recovered. We prioritise recycling and material recovery wherever facilities allow.
Only non-recyclable components are sent to landfill, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining efficient removal.
Experienced, Insured and Professional Teams
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in removing bulky furniture safely from homes and commercial premises. We take care to protect floors, walls and access points during removal.
Professional standards, reliability and responsible waste handling underpin every job we undertake.
