Yes, you can take your mattress to your local tip. Just make sure that when you take your mattress to your local tip that you have notified them ahead of time along with the item or items you are bringing to the local tip.
Your local tip in the UK may not take your mattress. This is because they may not take bulky or large items like mattresses. Another reason is that in the UK getting rid of a mattress is a separate service all together. Even at recycling centres some do not take items such as mattresses. You will have to go to your local council or a separate company to have your mattress taken. One such company that does this is called Skoup.

Plus, put something underneath like a sheet of cloth or heavy tarps to make collecting the cut-up pieces of mattress quicker, this is mainly for spring, foam, cotton and memory foam mattresses.
