Reply to comment by lotusblossom60 in Massachusetts bans clothing, footwear, bedding, curtains and other textiles from trash disposal by cowghost

Breaking down a matress and box spring is no joke. So I assume there will be substantial fees added to disposing these materials. How about we ban the sale of cheap junk that is engineered to fail.

It will be a $55 fee in my town and they also suggested asking the company that you purchase your new mattress from if they are cheaper and just take care of it that way.

Up until now, they just got tossed in the back of the garbage truck. Always fun to watch them get crushed up.

Is this rule being pushed by the bulk trash pickup lobby?
