Mattress & boxspring

Any disposal ideas other then the dump?

Depending on your neighborhood, put them in your yard with a free sign. They will be gone in an hour.

Know any quiet country roads?

You gotta pay for it, but you know your bedbugs won’t be going to someone else’s home!

Olmsted Co recycling

My dad was pretty cheap and wouldn’t pay extra for the garbage company to take it. He cut it up a little each week and put the pieces in the can for a month and a half until it was gone.

Your dad had more ambition then I do.

Try to be real fun. Ha-ha

The land we hunt is on the end of a dead end road, and people think it’s their personal dumping ground for mattresses and furniture. So, it’s just a little annoying when people even say that

Had I intended to dump it on a road I wouldn’t have bothered to mention it. Just thought someone might know of something I wasn’t aware of.

I like your dad.

I did that last year with a couch. Took about four weeks dispose of all of it.

Don’t put free, put $10 dollars some one will take it for sure. If you put free it will sit there all week

Call a mattress store they take them for a little fee, you will sleep better at night knowing if you dump it, it may get back to you

I am disappointed in that country road solution.

Yeah, it annoys me too. I saw a box spring dumped on the side of a fairly busy county road the other day. That’s what my reply was influenced by, but my intent was how disgusting it is to see that.

Chill guys. Pug is a major tree-hugger and was obviously joking.

The look on his face didn’t look like he was joking.

Everyone thinks we ran Pug out of Minnesota because of his curse on the Wild. Not true. It was he is too “green”.

Don’t worry Pug, I got your back I know you weren’t real serious.

I’m sorry, what were you saying? I was busy hugging a tree.

Got any pics?

I tried, but the tree said no.

How about a little ‘Hillbilly Recycling’?

A pint of diesel and a wooden match!

Dutchie, Get the set to Forest Lake, throw it in the back of my truck. The rest I will take care of. I know a guy that will cut it up, piece it out for the metal inside and has a dumpster to throw the rest in. However, if it’s king size it won’t fit in the back of my truck.

It’s funny how well this works! We’ve gotten rid of tons of stuff at the end our driveway that wasn’t worth selling. One $10 sign and it’s gone.
The quickest we ever got rid of something – Billy and I were carrying a used couch down and before we even set it down on the ground, someone driving by slowed down and asked if they could take it!

Craigslist free stuff category works great too. Mrs Grouse has disposed of couches, beds, and all manner of other stuff. Always use the heading “Want gone now.”

There’s a strange psychology to the free section. One woman texted to ask if a couch that we had posted 9 minutes ago was still available. I replied and said yes, but if you don’t get here within 20 minutes, I’ll pay you $20 to take it. She was there in 15 minutes and therefore had to settle for free.

Craigslist has a free stuff category?? Nobody tell my husband!

Pug,

I thought you would be lifting your leg to a tree not hugging it!
