Why can’t you put a mattress in the bin in Belconnen?
Mattresses cannot go in ACT kerbside bins and cannot be sent to landfill under ACT Government regulations. The ACT requires all mattresses to be recycled through approved facilities. This means a Belconnen resident with an old mattress has three options before calling a professional service: book the ACT free annual bulky waste collection (which charges a $42 recycling fee per mattress and is capped at 2 cubic metres per household per year), drive to Soft Landing in Hume for a $42 drop-off fee, or book Dial A Tipper for same-day pickup from any Belconnen address.

Frequently asked questions about mattress removal in Belconnen
Do I need to drag my mattress to the kerb before collection?
No. Dial A Tipper collects mattresses from inside the property — the bedroom, hallway, storage room or garage. The crew handles all lifting and does not require the mattress to be moved to the kerb, the front door or the ground floor. This is particularly relevant for multi-storey apartments near the University of Canberra and around the Belconnen Town Centre, where dragging a mattress to street level is not practical.
Can Dial A Tipper remove a mattress from a Belconnen apartment?
Yes. Mattress removal from apartments across Belconnen is one of the most common collection types. The crew uses lift access where available and navigates stairwells where it is not. Apartment residents in Belconnen cannot book individual ACT bulky waste mattress collections — this must go through the building manager — making Dial A Tipper the direct, same-day alternative. The full scope of Belconnen rubbish removal services including apartment collections is covered on the Rubbish Removal Belconnen page.
Does Dial A Tipper recycle mattresses collected from Belconnen?
Yes. All mattresses collected from Belconnen are transported to ACT-licensed recycling facilities, not landfill. Under ACT Government regulations, mattresses cannot be disposed of in landfill and must be recycled. Dial A Tipper directs all mattresses to Soft Landing in Hume, which recovers foam, springs, timber and fabric components. The full ACT mattress disposal process is explained on the Mattress Disposal Canberra page.
Can Dial A Tipper collect a mattress and other rubbish in the same visit?
Yes. A mattress can be collected alongside other waste items in a single booking, including a Couch Removal Canberra, Furniture Removal or general household waste. Combining items into one booking reduces the total cost. Contact 1300 716 716 to confirm what can be collected together at a single Belconnen address.
