Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, once every six months. Though, honestly, something gross like an old Mattress, I might actually take to the dump rather than wait. |

I know here trash service won't take mattresses, couches or chairs due to bed bugs. I don't know of any service that will. So I would think it's either you haul it to the dump yourself or find somebody with a truck that you know. I know I wouldn't haul a mattress off for somebody else due to bed bugs. You never know!

For us kids growing up on the farm, the mattress covered over the old well.
We used to bounce on that old mattress all the time, kids being kids (and stupid), right over that open well. |

People in the ghetto don't pay their bills.
One of those bills is trash pickup. So when they rent-to-own a new mattress, they throw the old one into the yard with the rest of the trash, until a church group or someone gets rid of it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I see some of the excuses people here have made, that these poor people just don't want to pay for large item pickup. Don't most municipalities have free Bulk Trash pickup!?  I know a few poor people, myself being somewhat on the lower income spectrum. Most have fairly well kept homes. We know one lady who has a house that... uhhh is a death trap. She's a hoarder, and her house is... very unpleasant to be inside. She's a super nice lady... but damn, I Really REALLY wish she would get her act together. I think they are too dumb lazy stupid to know there is a free bulk waste pickup at some time. I’ve had both municipal and private contract residential trash service and both had a day a month when they had free bulk waste pickup including a mattress/box spring. |

The vast overwhelming majority of poor people are poor because of bad decisions, impulsiveness, and laziness....not some grand scheme to disenfranchise them.
Putting trash in your front yard is this “rule in action”. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They're not willing to pay the large item pick up fee, or make the effort to take it to the dump. It’s this. Also here’s the economics. The dump fee in my AO is $60 for a mattress and box spring. Average shit heel job pays $12-15. That’s 5 hours worth of work to dump your shit. $60 to these people is a bottle of fireball whiskey, carton of smokes and a hungry man meal. That’s their weekend entertainment. Also the poor’s are ALWAYS getting new mattresses. Bedbugs, their dogs or kids shitting and pissing on it, blowing out the box springs due to being obese. These people live in filth. So The dump fees add up real quick. So yeah chuck that bitch on the front lawn and fuck em. |

Coordinating borrowing Billy Bobs truck because your white econo shitbox is too small to carry the mattress and being not hung over enough to remember the free dump day is a rarity like a winning lotto ticket. |

If it's on their front lawn, IDGAF, as long as they aren't dumping it on another person's property. We have removed more dumped mattresses from the disc golf course at Kessler Park than I would've liked.
Worst thing is the fuckers can't ever just dump them on the side of road. No, they have to "hide" them 50' downhill in the woods. Then they get rained on and heavy as fuck, which is usually how we find them. We then have to drag them up to the road or else the city workers will not pick them up. Motherfuckers.

Where I live (out in the rural county) there is NO way to get rid of old mattresses, old TVs, old cars, and such.
The only waste disposal company is Waste Management, and they will not pick such stuff up because landfills won't take it. There is NO local landfill to which a person can haul such stuff and there is NO monthly bulk pickup that y'all have mentioned. So folks toss it on the side of a remote road, or in a gully near their house, or just leave it in their yard to rot. I have a female cousin who used to read water meters. There were lots of Choctaw Indians living in the area. (My family always thought a lots of Choctaws and knew that they got a raw deal long ago. Like Elizabeth Warren, we are rumored to have some Indian blood in our family.) Anyway, I asked my cousin one day, "I've heard that Choctaws are really junky and that they just throw their trash out in their yard. Is that true?" She said, "Yeah. But only when their house is so full of trash that it won't hold any more." I'm thinking, hey! Maybe I do have some Indian blood in me.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They're not willing to pay the large item pick up fee, or make the effort to take it to the dump. My city has a bulk item pickup service that runs that same day as regular trash service. It's included in your trash bill. I can put my entire household goods on the curb if I want and they will keep sending trucks out to grab it all. |

For me, I’m thankful for random discarded mattresses. Circa ‘83. There was an abandoned/decaying house at the end of my street. People would party in it and spray paint graffiti inside. Well, my first girlfriend and I needed a place for some alone time. One of the bedrooms contained a horribly stained full sized mattress laying on the floor. We both lost our virginity on that nasty bug infested mattress. Good memories.
