Mattress Delivery Glasgow
Getting rid of an old mattress in Glasgow is easier than you think. Giant Van Removals offers reliable mattress disposal across the city, from the Southside to the West End. If you are replacing a single bed or clearing a full flat, we handle the heavy lifting so you do not have to.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, home to over 630,000 residents spread across dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, from Drumchapel and Maryhill in the north to Pollokshields and Giffnock in the south. Mattress disposal is a common challenge for Glasgow residents: the city's large student population means high turnover of cheap mattresses each August and September, while the volume of tenement flats makes self-transport impractical for most households.
Giant Van Removals operates out of a central Glasgow depot and covers every postcode from G1 to G77.
We understand the city's geography, including its narrow lanes, parking restrictions in the city centre, and the logistical challenges of accessing upper-floor flats in traditional sandstone tenements.
Our local team has carried out thousands of collections in Glasgow and uses this knowledge to deliver a genuinely efficient service every time.

Mattress Delivery Options for Glasgow Customers
Glasgow Council only accepts mattresses at specific household waste recycling centres, and many residents do not have access to a van large enough to transport one safely.
Fly-tipping carries fines of up to £400 in Scotland, making proper disposal essential.
Giant Van Removals provides a fast, fully insured collection service that keeps you on the right side of the law.
We collect from tenements, flats, houses, and commercial premises across all Glasgow postcodes, including G1 through to G77.

Trusted for Mattress Delivery in Glasgow
When moving in Glasgow, a mattress is often just one item in a larger house clearance or room clear-out.
Giant Van Removals can take bulky furniture, white goods, bagged rubbish, and general household items in the same visit, provided items are ready for collection.
This is particularly useful for customers downsizing, dealing with an estate, or moving home.
We itemise every collection so you know exactly what is being removed and where it is going.

Giant Van vs Council Collection vs Skip Hire in Glasgow
Giant Van Removals is one of Glasgow's most trusted removal and collection companies.
We handle hundreds of mattress disposal jobs each year across the city.
Our fleet ranges from Luton vans to Sprinters, so we always send the right-sized vehicle for the job.
Every load is disposed of responsibly: mattresses in good condition are donated to local charities where possible, and the rest go to licensed recycling facilities.
You get a professional service, a clear conscience, and a cleared room, all at a price that makes sense.
If you need a tv delivery Glasgow service alongside your mattress removal, Giant Van can combine both jobs in one visit.
Combining services saves you money on call-out costs and reduces the number of strangers entering your home.
We also offer van hire options for customers who prefer a DIY approach, with cheap Glasgow van hire available for short-notice bookings.
Whatever your removal need, our team is ready to help you move on quickly and affordably.

Mattress Delivery Glasgow — FAQs
How much does mattress disposal in Glasgow cost?
A single mattress collection in Glasgow starts from £48, with doubles from £48 and king or super-king sizes from £55. Prices include collection from any floor in your property, transport, and responsible disposal or donation. If you have more than one mattress or want to combine with other items, we offer discounted rates.
Get an exact quote using our online booking form in under two minutes.
Can you collect a mattress from a high-floor Glasgow tenement flat?
Yes. Our two-person teams are trained and equipped to remove mattresses from any floor, including high-rise tenement flats and modern apartment buildings without lifts. We carry protective covers and corner guards to avoid damage to stairwells and shared areas. In Glasgow, we price stairs into your quote up front rather than adding a charge once we arrive.
Above that, a small additional fee applies, which we confirm at booking.
Do you offer same-day mattress disposal in Glasgow?
Yes, same-day mattress collection is available in Glasgow subject to slot availability. Message our team in the live chat before noon to maximise the chance of a same-day booking. We confirm all same-day slots by text and provide a two-hour arrival window so you are not left waiting in all day.
Next-day bookings are almost always available for all Glasgow postcodes.
Is it legal to leave a mattress on the pavement in Glasgow?
No. Leaving a mattress on a public pavement or in a communal bin area without arranging collection is classed as fly-tipping under Scottish law. Glasgow City Council can issue fixed penalty notices of up to £200, and persistent offenders face fines of up to £40,000 in court.
Using a licensed waste carrier like Giant Van Removals is the only fully legal way to dispose of a mattress in Glasgow outside of taking it to a household waste recycling centre yourself.
Can I combine mattress disposal with a TV delivery in Glasgow?
Yes. Giant Van Removals offers combined collection and delivery services across Glasgow. If you need a TV delivery in Glasgow on the same day as your mattress disposal, we can schedule both in a single visit. This saves money on call-out charges and is far more convenient.
Let us know at the time of booking and we will configure the right vehicle size to handle both jobs cleanly.
Do you provide mattress collection in Motherwell or surrounding areas?
Yes. While our Glasgow operations are our core focus, we regularly serve Motherwell, Hamilton, East Kilbride, and other towns in the Greater Glasgow commuter belt. Customers moving from Motherwell to Glasgow frequently use our combined move-and-clear service, where we take away unwanted mattresses from the old property while transporting furniture to the new address.
Contact us for a tailored quote covering both locations.
What happens to my mattress after Giant Van collects it?
We assess every mattress at the point of collection. Those in good, clean condition are offered to partner charities and furniture reuse organisations in Glasgow, helping families in need access affordable bedding. Mattresses that cannot be reused are taken to a licensed recycling facility where the materials, including foam, springs, and fabric, are separated and processed responsibly.
We never fly-tip or take materials to unlicensed sites. A Waste Transfer Note is available on request.
Is cheap van hire available in Glasgow if I want to move the mattress myself?
Yes. If you prefer a self-service approach, Giant Van offers cheap Glasgow van hire from our local depot. Our Luton vans and long-wheelbase Transits are ideal for mattress transport. Hire includes insurance, unlimited mileage within a 30-mile radius, and full AA cover.
You can drop your mattress at the Glasgow City Recycling Centre at Shieldhall Road yourself, which accepts mattresses free of charge on weekdays. Message us on live chat for same-day van hire availability.
