Default Anyone know how to get rid of an old matress?

I've got an old matress which is kind of moldy and pretty much unsusable because of that. Anyone got any ideas on how I should get rid of it?

Donating a moldy mattress? Kind of a dick move if you ask me.

lol seriously though... the only option i can think of is the local junk-it guys, but spending $80 to get rid of a $200 matress seems a little ridiculous.

I don't know of any charity that will take a mattress. One of the biggest cost to a lot of charities is dumping, they get so much crap they had to stop taking certain items. Don't have a buddy with a truck? i bet it'd cost less than 5 bucks at the dump if you could get it there. otherwise, you might have to bite the bullet and pay for someone to come haul it away.

Its a futon. So may just fold it into the back of my gfriends car and take it to the dump. What a pain though. You'd think we could just pay the garbage men an extra 20 and get them to take it.


But this does give me an idea. I could cut the matress into parts and slowly have it taken away in the garbage.

I'm actually trying to get rid of a newish mattress and bed... and was thinking of donating it if someone picks it up for me. Who would do that?

Actually, I was going to say dumpster, but at least make sure it fits with lots of room to spare. Preferably a commercial one.

My neighborhood's street is littered with dumpsters from infill construction, and me dumping whatever crap I have to dispose of in them is my form of "rent". Considering my street parking is taken up by these... I don't feel so bad really.

When you buy a new one from Sleep Country, they take your old one away for free.
