Farewell, My Foamy Friend: Mattress Disposal Options
-
The Recology Roundup: The Free and Easy Option (with Limits) San Francisco's very own Recology offers a free bulky item pick-up service. Bold that, my friends, free! But there's a catch (isn't there always?). You only get two free pickups a year (unless you live in a bigger building), and you have to schedule it in advance. Think of it as a mattress prom night, you gotta plan ahead.

The Curb Appeal Caper: The "Freecycle" Approach Feeling adventurous? Place that mattress on the curb with a FREE sign and see what happens! You might attract some bargain hunters, students on a budget, or even a rogue performance artist looking for a new prop. Just be prepared for the possibility of your mattress becoming a neighborhood landmark (not in a good way).

The Eco-Warrior's Waltz: Donation and Recycling Did you know some places recycle mattresses? It's true! Organizations like St. Vincent de Paul (bless their hearts) might take your old mattress and give it a new life (though probably not as a mattress). Double-check though, as hygiene regulations can be tricky.
The Mattress Massacre: Safety Tips for the Weary Warrior
- Muster Your Muscles: Mattresses are heavy. Grab a friend (or two) to avoid a back-breaking battle.
- Wrap it Up: Nobody wants to see your mattress' deepest, darkest secrets. Encase that bad boy in plastic before you haul it out.
- Respect the Neighbors: Don't be that person who blocks the sidewalk with their sleep-deprived ex-mattress. Be a considerate citizen and position it strategically.
