Last Updated: January 2026
When replacing a bed or mattress, deciding what to do with your old one is often part of the process.
The Removal & Recycling service is designed to make this simple and responsible when buying from Land of Beds.
This article explains what the Removal & Recycling service is, how it works at a high level, and what it allows you to do when replacing a bed or mattress, so you know what to expect before booking the service.
What Does the Removal & Recycling Service Allow?
The Removal & Recycling service allows you to have your old bed or mattress collected at the same time as your new order is delivered.
When the service is added to your order, you can:
- Have an eligible bed or mattress removed from your home
- Arrange collection alongside delivery rather than separately
- Avoid having to arrange disposal of your old bed or mattress yourself
The service is designed to make replacing a bed or mattress more convenient while ensuring items are handled responsibly after collection.
How Does the Removal & Recycling Service Work?
Removal and recycling take place during your delivery appointment.
When your new bed or mattress is delivered, the delivery team will collect the eligible item that has been booked for removal at the same time.
Removal is not carried out as a separate visit.
Once collected, the item is taken away from your property and passed on for recycling where possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.
What the Removal & Recycling Service Is Not
It is important to understand the limits of the Removal & Recycling service.
The service:
- Is not automatic and must be added to your order
- Is not available as a standalone service without delivery
- Is not part of the returns or refunds process
Removal and recycling is an optional service that applies only when booked correctly and alongside a qualifying order.
Who the Removal & Recycling Service Applies To
The Removal & Recycling service applies to eligible beds and mattresses only.
If the service applies:
- It must be selected and added to your order in advance
- Only the items listed for removal on your order will be collected
- The service does not apply to other furniture, household waste, or items that have not been booked for removal
How Many Items Can Be Removed?
Each Removal & Recycling service added to an order covers one eligible item.
If more than one bed or mattress needs to be removed, additional removal services must be added. This ensures collections are planned correctly alongside delivery.
Why Understanding the Removal & Recycling Service Matters
Understanding how the Removal & Recycling service works helps you:
- Decide whether the service is right for your order
- Know what will happen to your old bed or mattress after collection
- Avoid confusion about when and how removal takes place
Knowing this upfront helps ensure the delivery and removal process runs smoothly.
