• Put the padding in the contractor bags and throw this in your local dumpster
• The metal frame can be put to the curb and your neighborhood scrappers will take care of it.
• if you live in an apartment where you have a centralized dumpster to put things in, you can put it next to the dumpster and your neighborhood scrappers will also take care of this. Though this isn't advised in most apartment complexes to place things next to the dumpster.

Throw The Mattress In The Dumpster Whole?

• Take the first strap and runn it through the rear window and give it a good pull through the buckling mechanism and press down the buckle making sure the the strap is tight.
• Then repeat this step with the front window, try to leave about nine inches between the edge of the mattress and the strap. You want it close but not too close. Wind can make these mattressed potentially fly up and hit a driver behind you.
• After this you can bring this mattress to your local landfill or transfer station, depending on where you go, you may be charged extra for mattresses.
