Recycling collection in SE26?

[sambashoes]

Hello.
I have an old memory foam mattress which isn't good enough for use (so can't give it away on Freecycle for example). I don't have a car to take it to the nearest recycling centre, so was wondering if anyone knows of a free local collection service for recycling items? Don't really want to throw it away in the usual waste but if there is no alternative option i'll have to.
Many thanks

I got rid of a sofe a year or so ago, but had to do it via Lewisham Councils special collection which cost about £15 i think.

Innovatively, Lewisham offer a free mattress recycling program so you’re in luck. All you have to do is get a special sticker to affix and leave it outside on the street. A passing LLB vehicle will then stop and take it away. The scheme actually works and you can get a sticker from the usual Lewisham outlets, including the library.

You can just phone up & speak to a very nice man in refuse collection who will arrange a pick up.
I don't know the direct line, but I got through on the main number 020 8314 6000
