I have a king mattress that was replaced but because I ordered a meme mattress to be shipped direct to my door I have to handle the disposal of the previous mattress myself.

I have an SUV that is long enough but not wide enough. I was thinking of a couple options. It seems like I could cut the mattress right down the middle with a knife and use bolt cutters to deal with any metal wires in the way, then stack the two halves up in the car and haul them to the dump. OR, I could possibly fold the mattress in half with ratcheting straps, then just strap it onto the cargo bars on the roof, then haul it to the dump that way.

Got suggestions? PS fire is not an option.

In the middle of the night, push it out your front door on a dolly and cart it about a block and a half away, and then just tip it into the middle of the street. City will have to pick it up, it's a traffic hazard.

Tie it to the roof of your SUV
Use a cheap blanket as protection
Take a late night drive
Find a darkened area
Cut the string holding the cargo
Accelerate
Don't dump in a commercial area
Too many cameras
For fun soak the mattress in gasoline
Set it on fire as you drive past

Also you could drive over to some slum type apartments
You probably know a place
Look for lots of minority's
Leave the mattress propped up by a stop sign
If it reasonably clean it will be gone within the hour

I used to do apartment clean outs
Boss used to have us dump everything next to a Goodwill collection box
Dump used to charge $50 to toss a mattress

cut it open, most of the time you can easily bend the metal, voila no problem here

A descent set of big side dikes or other wire cutters would be easier.

Been there op. It sucks but buckin . King sized mattress sucks worse...

Then again its a matress. Throw that bitch on top with cheap ratchet straps. Be careful not to bend yiur door frames and u good. I made a 6 hour trip with the worlds heaviest conference table on my hoopty 15 years ago.

You are litterally worse than niggers.

The cities don't do jack, you know what happens?
Mattress and furniture tossed in the road gets pushed slightly to the curb, onto the right-of-way, then city Code Enforcement in their before 7:00AM drive around will sock a "Notice of Violation" to the nearest property owner to the shit garbage.

You get 3 days to comply or get a $350 fine

My mom's is at a corner intersection of a good part of town, and yet still nearly every 2 weeks she steps out and there she's greeted with a Notice of Violation tied to the gate and a mattress or a couch, or sacks of trash/clothes, hell, once there was a BOAT sitting in the road "vaguely" in front of her house.
The kicker is that the city only offers 2 free Bulky pick-ups a year, so my mom has to pay out of her own money to get Trash King out to pick up the trash that shitstain niggers push out into the road.

Over the years I know she's spent thousands to have road trash hauled away.

Had a friend put up a camera system, but it didn't do jack given that the trash dumping niggers turn off their car lights of don't have license plates on their jalopies.

Just fuck please, call up your cities trash service and pay the $20 for them to pick up the mattress on the regular trash day.

>> No.1302820

dont you have 1-800-got-junk or equivalent?

alternately, the city or town should have a free furniture pickup day. its wednesday here.

Go to your citys county website and find the number to request bulky item pick up and leave it on the curb, they should probably do it every other week any ways. Do you live in a house or apartment? If apartment just put it out next to the dumpster.

Why did you need to get a new mattress in the first place? Listening to the commercials, you'd think that it's normal to buy a new one every year (but I don't weigh 500 lbs but I see little need)

Anyway, some places like goodwill can actually take it. They sterilize it and give it to poor people. I saw a stack of about 10 of them the other day, all wrapped in blue plastic.

Or, you could cut it open and try and figure out why the hell a mattress can cost over $1000! And report findings back here. Is there gold and silver in there or something?

Freecycle, fleabay, craigslist, DAV pickup, etc. Lots of places will take a decent mattress. no piss, shit, blood stains, or bedbuggos.
Or just rip the shit up and throw it away a bit at a time.

Take it apart, remove the nails and screws, cut/break/chop it up. Throw it away a little every week, by a month or so you'll have gotten rid of it without spending 20-50-100 dollars for dumping it yourself, a couple hundred for the reverse of a delivery service, or more on anothers dollar.
