Bulky collection from my council is £35+. I tried to work out when they would come but I have to book a collection to get a date. given there are no charge cancellation options if cancelled more than 7 days before collection day it doesn't seem all that swift.
My Google search to find the council bulky waste collection service turned up an advert from someone that will be round same day, no idea how reputable they are.
I've never seen a bulky refuse items place for a block of flats either.
I've ordered new mattresses for my daughters so will have this problem soon.

in a previous flat I lived in, trying to get rid of a mattress, paid council £30 odd was told to leave it in a specific location and it would be collected within a week.
someone saw me put the mattress and told me to take it back and that I couldn't dump stuff there, told them council told me thats where they collected it from and with some back and forth passive aggression, went on my way.
next morning mattress was infront of my flat block door, clearly moved back by busy body who saw me.
it was there for at least 3 weeks before it finally disappeared, council or not, who knows who picked it up in the end, there was no comms.

Ah. Almost every apartment complex has a place for stuff like that and the council does pickups - both for apartments and houses.
