Out with the Old, In with the...New Dreams?
First things first, be honest. Is your mattress more "supportive" like a trampoline, or flatter than last week's pancake? This will determine your disposal options:
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
The Don Draper of Mattresses (Still Got It): If your trusty mattress is in decent nick, consider giving it a second life! Charitable organizations like Salvos or Vinnies might be happy to take it (bonus points for good karma!). Pro tip: Be upfront about any, uh, "character marks" the mattress may have acquired over the years.
The Great Mattress Massacre (Time to Say Goodbye): Alright, so your mattress has seen better days. Fear not, brave soul! There are several ways to dispose of it responsibly:
Council Collection: Check with your local council – some offer free mattress pick-up services (hallelujah!). Be warned: There might be size restrictions, so measure that bad boy before you call.
Mattress Recycling Services: Sydney boasts a bunch of superheroic mattress recycling companies. These guys break down your old mattress into its component parts, diverting it from landfills and and and... (dramatic music) saving the planet!
Rubbish Removalists: For a fee, these folks will whisk your unwanted mattress away like David Copperfield.
Important Note: Never chuck your mattress on the curb or chuck it in a skip. This is an environmental no-no and could land you with a fine. Don't be that guy (or gal).
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.

QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Top Tip: If you're going the DIY route, grab a friend (or two) to help you move that mattress monster. It's also a great excuse to reminisce about all the... interesting nights you spent on that mattress.
