Do you have an old mattress taking up room in the shed or the attic?
Carlow county council will take it off your hands this week for just a fiver.
The local authority has declared an amnesty and is allowing householders to bring along up to 5 mattresses that can be recycled at a cost of just €5 each until this Saturday.
Environmental Officer with the council Jannette O’Brien says they’ll accept any that are relatively clean and they can be dropped off at the Powerstown Civic Amenity.
