Hi ccronin,
You could try listing it on JumbleTown or calling some of your local charities who may be interested in it.
I know some firms in America and Belgium take old mattresses, strip them down, and recycle every single part of them, but I haven't been able to locate any in Ireland so far. Maybe that's what so many mattresses end up in landfill and ditches around the country.
Finally, you could follow the example of the guy in the article below who re-uses practically every part of his old mattresses. Please see here for more:
