Is there an type of service in Calgary that will pickup a mattress/box spring in Calgary? Or anywhere i can drop it?

I don't wan't it and even though it's in decent condition, prolly can't sell it..

Ideas?

I know there is (or used to be) a service that will pick it up and use it for charity purposes. I can't for the life of me remember what it is called, but I used it many years ago. I think I paid them a small amount for the pickup rather than me dropping it off, but either way it beat me driving it to the dump and paying 5 bucks to dispose of it.

I would call the YWCA. I think that is one of their items they try to obtain to get battered women back on their feet.

Completely OT, but this brings to mind an entirely inappropriate joke. Do not read further if you don't want to be offended...

There is a new women's shelter down the steet from my office. It's called "Tempura House"- it's for lightly battered women.

Are they slightly soiled?

If so, you should give them to Homer Simpson.

Kudos to anyone who remembers that classic ep.
