Recycling must be required for the modern city. International Sleep Products Association take wrong decision about this matter.

Earth Day did you in doomers. Watching all those little kids cleaning up beaches and parks is so feel good!

Should recycling be required, let existing tire recyclers have a shot at the business…why create a new “one trick pony” quasi-government organization when so many have already been created politically to “solve” other waste problems (e.g., tire recyclers, motor oil recyclers, restaurant grease recyclers, alum. soda can recyclers, etc). One can only dream of how relaxed we would be if “Silent Spring” had never been written.

Say goodbye to Simmons up near Oakland. Huge manufacturer but their loyalty to this area (dating back to the 1800s by the way) will be shortlived with this type of taxation for selling a product that 99% of folks need.

And what if you bring your mattresses from out of state and abandon them? Who pays that?

Put the onus on the persons renting from you and require a deposit. Hondo is right.

We love mattresses. Expensive to pack and ship.

Will a mattress purchase require a background check and registry? Seems like a state department in waiting, job growth for the economy, nice benefits…This could be regulated with exemptions, free mattresses for the “undocumented.”

This wont cost $5 or even $24 for the consumer! It will go up and up…..just like the smog tests have.

As a landlord, old abandoned couches and mattresses are a HUGE issue for us. Hide-a-beds should be made a felony to posses. There have been more thrown out backs, blown hernias and ripped up fingers because of hide-a-beds, than you can imagine.
Couches and mattresses don’t fit in any dumpster and the garbage companies charge idiotic amounts of money to haul them off. Me and my boss ‘dissmantle’ couches and mattresses and put the remains in the dumpster in pieces. Dissmantling means taking utility knives, hammers and plyers and saws to the articles. An hour for each couch and mattress is average, along with pinched and cut fingers and a whole lotta cussing. And when it rains or snows on them, it increases the weight and smell of the article, exponantially.
I guess we landlords should charge a deposit for every couch and mattress when they move in. That would be the best solution.
Hondo….

“….Old abandoned cars are not the responsibility of General Motors……”

Yet.

Don’t give Hancock any ideas, Katy.
