Was driving through a poor area recently and it seemed about every 4th or 5th house had a discarded mattress or box spring on the front lawn.

Is this some kind of strange mattress fetish that afflicts the poor?

They sleep on the lawn occasionally.  You mean you don't?

Where I live, you put them by the road to discard them knowing that the first Amish buggy that rolls by will swipe it up.

They're not willing to pay the large item pick up fee, or make the effort to take it to the dump.

Because they do not own the property, or just do not give a damn.

Because savages put them in the dumpster which is against the rules and they keep getting left by the trashmen.

It's a Shockwave of a problem

This ^^

I don't get why people take no pride in where they live...

I have my list of stuff that for the life for me, I don't understand people do.

Ummm...how about:

Blowing leaves into the street?

Leaving your trash bins out on the street 24/7?

I think that those are people that are motivated enough to take them to the dump, but not motivated enough to stop and retireve the mattress when it blows out of the vehicle.

Sometimes you're too drunk to find the door and it doesn't matter as much when you piss/shit/vomit all over the outside bed. That's what mine is for, anyways.

I've noticed this as well. Also, lots of shredded Lazy Boys that end up in the front somewhat looking like they are waiting for the trash pickup but not quite at the curb

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.

renters moving out, and likely bedbugs.

also have noticed some will drive to rural or shitty areas to dump things.

They simply DGAF.  Some may be hoarders as well and still think it has value.

The shit I found in the hoarder property I bought just boggled my mind in terms of both the sheer quantity and the
mental contortions necessary to percieve it as too valuable to throw away.
