Dumped Mattresses Causing Issues for Woodland Trust

Purchasing a new mattress is all fun and games until it comes to getting rid of the old one. Many people are unsure of how to dispose of these correctly;unfortunately, many have taken to dumping them in nearby woodland, which is causing huge issues for the Woodland Trust. They spend thousands of pounds clearing these dumped mattresses every year. Here at Beds Glasgow, we know that disposing of a mattress can be a headache, but we would never recommend dumping your old mattress in this way; in fact, we vehemently condemn this practice. If you need any advice on mattress disposal after purchasing a new one, then please, do not hesitate to contact us for advice.

Worst Year to Date

The Woodland Trust has reported that 2016 was its worst year to date for fly-tipping, with nearly 200 separate incidents of rubbish being left on its land. The charity has spent a whopping £42,596 on the cleaning and disposal of items that had been dumped; this increased the total costs for dealing with waste in the woodlands to approximately £354,000 in 2016 alone. The figure for 2016 was up almost 85 per cent on the numbers from 2015. One of the most common items being dumped are, you guessed it – old mattresses.

Worrying

Woodland Trust UK operations director, Norman Starks, explained, “It’s worrying to see in a world where our woods face constant threats from disease, pests and development that we also have to deal with the actions of mindless individuals. Each year we are spending thousands of pounds clearing up other people’s waste, which could otherwise go towards creating new woods or protecting ancient woodland. At the end of the day, fly-tipping is an illegal activity, and people need to understand and remember that it has numerous implications for our woods and wildlife. We all need to care for our natural environment or risk ruining it forever.”

Reliable and Top Quality Mattresses from Beds Glasgow

Purchasing a new mattress can be quite daunting,often seen as a chore by many. However, when you shop with us here at Beds Glasgow, we will ensure that your buying experience is enjoyable and that, ultimately, you are totally satisfied with your purchase. Unlike the lady in our story below.

Horrified

The lady in question was horrified to find what appeared to be blood stains on her ‘new’ mattress. Johanna McHugh paid £140 for the mattress, which was described as ‘brand new looking’ in the online advert. However, once she received it and unwrapped the plastic packaging, she noticed stains that looked like blood. “I just went nuts after I saw that. I said it was disgusting selling a bed like that to anyone,” she explained. It was not just the mattress where there was an issue with; the divan base’s hessian was torn and tattered as well.

Refurbished Mattresses

She contacted the firm to request a full refund but was instead told to send in pictures of the damaged goods. She soon found that the advertisers were based in Birmingham, despite the Gumtree advert she had seen suggesting that the beds were from Swindon. The company had advertised the mattresses as “Totally in as 100% immaculate condition (not new but look totally as 100% SHOWROOM brand new)”.

A spokesperson for the company insisted that the adverts made it clear that the mattresses are all refurbished. The mattress that Mrs McHugh had received was a one-off, but he would be offering her a refund. He added, “There is no law against selling refurbished mattresses. Our policy is that if there is a complaint we will exchange it. It’s about negotiation. We offered to exchange.”

Reliable Source

We cannot comment on why the lady in question opted for the particular mattress she did, but when buying a mattress from Beds Glasgow, you can rest assured that you are buying from a reliable source. All our mattresses are brand new, top quality and affordable; and they all come with the relevant paperwork and tags as well. For more information, contact us today.
