I think video will be required if and when it is set ablaze.

I actually contemplated the fire idea myself. Just dowsing it in gasoline in the alley and letting it go would be awesome. The neighbours might complain about the large billows of black smoke it would produce. Then I'd probably be left with the problem of how to dispose of a mostly burnt up matress.

I have donated mattresses to Salvation Army, but I had to take it in and they inspect it first. It has to be in good shape, and no stains, spoiled areas whatsoever.

It does not sound like the mattress in question meets these standards.

Don't know about charities, but if you just want to get rid of it post it on the free section on Craigslist and I'm sure someone would want it.

Just as an FYI- the dump charges a minimum of $5, but that covers the first 250kg. After 250kg it's about $50 per tonne. (Guess how ticked I was the time I ended up having 260kg of stuff.)

Yeah, but is a real pain having to sift through ashes to scoop up teeth, bone fragments, etc.

I assume you live in an apartment with a dumpster near by? Just throw it into there.

What is "regular wood"? What are you allowed to burn?
