How to Dispose of (Almost) Everything

Mattress and Box Springs

If you have an old mattress and box springs in good condition, consider selling it or giving it away for free on a website such as Freecycle Network, Nextdoor or craiglist. If you purchased a new mattress, see if the store will take your old mattress for recycling. You can also check with your local recycling center or garbage disposal service to see what their rules are with old mattresses and box springs. Yet another option is a junk removal company, like 1-800-Got-Junk?

Your garbage collector really wants you to know these 24 things.
