Bounce Back Recycling
Mattress and Furniture Recycling
ABOUT US
Our mission
Caring for the environment by diverting as much mattresses & furniture away from landfill as possible.
Bounce Back Recycling (BBR) was established in 2017 in Galway to create a viable solution for what is seen in the sector as a problem waste. BBR is a recycling company whose aim is to divert as much mattresses & furniture away from landfill as possible. We work hard to provide a quality service for companies, councils & householders to recycle their unwanted waste rather than send it to Landfill. We already work with a number of local authorities across the country, and many retail outlets to improve the recycling rates across the west of Ireland.
With the lack of mattress recycling alternatives in the west Ireland, BBR has established itself as a leader in field. We reclaim and recycle; cottons, polyester, woven pad, metal and foam. Each material has its own varying commercial use. All recycled mattresses benefit various industries e.g. steel manufacturing, textile manufacturing and carpet manufacturing. This in turn creates gainful employment and reduces high dependency on landfill.

The key environmental problems with mattress disposal are:
- Mattresses are bulky and take up a lot of space in landfill sites.
- Mattresses that end up in landfill only start to decompose after 15 years, but elements such as polyurethane foam (PU) can take up to 100 years, and steel springs over 50 years to decompose.
- Mattress springs can get bound up in landfill machinery wheels.
- Mattresses can cause pockets or voids in landfills.
The Solutions provided by BBR include:
- Divert mattresses from landfill.
- Recycle. We recycle what we can, and are currently developing products which we hope to produce and sell.
- Recover valuable materials.
- Research. Waste is a growing environmental issue, so we are always researching new solutions as well as gathering new data.
Over 3,000 mattresses were recycled in 2017. BBR now works with three waste companies and local authorities diverting mattresses from landfill while using various components to trial and research different products, and is currently on target to recycle 10,000 mattresses in 2018. This is in part due to the success of our ‘amnesty days’ which we held in the Connacht/Ulster region, inviting the general public to leave their discarded mattresses at specific drop-off points.
