Mattress Massacre: Philly-Style Disposal!
So, your trusty mattress has finally kicked the bucket. Don't worry, friend, we've all been there. Maybe it's developed a suspicious sag in the middle, resembling a poorly baked cake.

Here's your guide to mattress disposal that won't leave you crying into your pillow (the new one, of course).

The good news is, Philly offers a couple of mattress disposal options. You can either channel your inner superhero and wrestle that bad boy to the curb (more on that later), or take a more relaxed approach and visit a sanitation convenience center.

Curbside Caper: Bagging is Believing!
Think "American Ninja Warrior" but with a mattress instead of a warped wall. If you choose the curbside route, here's the golden rule: Thou shalt bag thy mattress. Yes, you need to encase that sleep relic in a plastic shroud, specifically a mattress disposal bag. You'll find these at most hardware stores or online retailers.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Pro Tip: Don't be a chump and try to shove a king-sized mattress into a twin-sized bag. It's a recipe for ripped plastic and public embarrassment.
Convenience Center Cruise Control:
Feeling less like Rambo and more like sipping margaritas on a chaise lounge? The sanitation convenience center is your haven. Here, you can ditch the bagging drama and simply unload your mattressy woes onto the professionals (by that, we mean the lovely folks who work there, not mythical mattress disposal fairies).
Important Side Note: Find your nearest sanitation convenience center here (because nobody wants to be driving around Philly with a mattress strapped to their roof).
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Bonus Round: Bye-Bye Box Spring Blues!
Don't forget about your mattress's BFF, the box spring! The disposal rules for these are the same as mattresses. So, bag it up for the curb or drop it off bag-free at the convenience center.
