Out with the Old, In with the Dream (of a New Mattress)
First things first, assess your mattress's, ahem, spirit. Is it a valiant knight, ready for a second life? Or a dusty dragon best slain and recycled?
The Knight: If your mattress is still structurally sound and relatively clean, consider donation! Places like shelters or college dorms might welcome a gently-used hero. Bonus points for getting creative: Offer it on Freecycle with the tagline "Free Mattress: Slightly haunted by dreams of fluffy pancakes!"
The Dragon: Alright, so maybe it's time to say goodbye. But fret not, for even a weary dragon deserves a decent send-off! Portland offers several options:
The Farewell Haul: Do you own a truck and have a friend with a questionable sense of humor? Turn it into a mattress rodeo! Blast epic music, strap that bad boy on, and head to the nearest transfer station (check the city website for locations). Word of caution: This option is best attempted after a strong cup of coffee (and maybe some ibuprofen for your friend).
The Junk Genie: Feeling less "truck rodeo" and more "Netflix and chill?" Fear not! Junk removal services like 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will whisk your mattress away for a fee. Just picture the confused look on their faces when you request they play Viking funeral music during pick-up.
The Green Option: Recycling Your Mattress into Something... Else?
Did you know some mattresses can be recycled? Portland offers mattress recycling facilities that break them down into ... well, let's just say it won't be your next bed. But hey, being eco-friendly is pretty darn cool!
