Mattress Massacre: Your Guide to Mattress Removal in Austin (Without Ending Up on a Reality Show)
Let's face it, Austin. We all love our breakfast tacos and that weird obsession with insisting everything is "bat weird." But even the quirkiest among us eventually grapple with the inevitable: how to dispose of a giant, sleep-stained rectangle of...well, who even knows what's in there anymore? Don't worry, fellow Austinite, this guide is here to help you banish your old mattress to the great beyond (or somewhere a little less dramatic) without resorting to a Craigslist ad titled "Free Mattress, No Bedbugs, Probably."
The Great Mattress Escape: Disposal Options for the Discerning Austin.

Donation Dazzle: Is your mattress in decent nick? Several charities in Austin, like the Salvation Army or Austin Furniture Bank, welcome gently used mattresses. Bonus points if you can score a free pick-up – more time for two-stepping!
Recycle and Repurpose Rhapsody: Looking for an eco-friendly option? Companies like Ex-Mattress or Duke's Junk Removal offer mattress recycling services. Your mattress could be on its way to a whole new life as car insulation or – who knows? – maybe even another mattress!
Curbside Caper (with Caution): Austin Resource Recovery offers biannual bulk trash collection. Attention! There might be a bit of a wait, and you'll need some muscle to get that mattress to the curb. Just say no to throwing your back out with a mattress on your shoulder – that's a one-way ticket to a different kind of mattress (hospital kind, ouch!).
The Farewell Fiesta (for Cash): If your mattress is practically brand new (and bedbug-free, of course), you could try selling it online. Just be honest about any, uh, "character flaws" and remember, reasonable offers only – we're not in the business of mattress-related bidding wars here in Austin.
The Great Landfill Gamble (Last Resort): Landfills in Austin County accept mattresses for a fee. This should be your absolute last resort, considering the environmental impact. Think of all the perfectly good breakfast tacos that landfill space could be used for!
