I just tumbled a mattress down the stairs

Literally every single mattress store will offer to dump your old mattress for a fee if you get the new one delivered.

Well, this one doesn't.  Besides, with a ready made dumpster waiting out back for bulk items, who needs that service?

I can spend the extra fee on something else.

No, if you wanted a new one, you'ld be sitting pretty, fingering yourself to your schoolgirl smut, waiting for the big burly mattress delivery dudes to deliver your new mattress and remove the cum stained abomination from your hovel.

Why would I pay for removal if it were offered?

No, five minutes of work I can do on my own isn't worth paying for.

I'd rather pay the guy who is cleaning the pots on my amp instead.

Because you can't throw a mattress into ANY dumpster.  It's a bulk item, and, someone has to pay waste disposal extra to pick it up.

That's what the landlady does here.  This dumpster is thirty cubic yards and laid out specifically for any bulk furniture items.  

It beats having stuff like that cluttering the parking lot.

Bullshit.  You would need a construction roll off to fit furniture, and those are hella expensive to just have sit there for weeks on end.

Roll Off

It comes off the back of a truck with rails and has cylindrical casters on all four corners.  It literally rolls off and on the back of the truck.  Anything above 5 cubic yards is probably a roll off.

Oh... 

This one is thirty cubic yards and what you describe is how it's delivered.

Those things cost a lot of money.  Anywhere from $600 to $1000 per exchanges, and if you don't exchange at least once in two weeks, they charge rent on those fuckers - like another $200 per week.  The prices can be absurd.

There is no way your landlady just parks one of those things at your complex so a couple or yahoos can save money throwing out their crappy furniture.

It still beats the alternative, seeing that more than 200 people reside here.

Looks like some homeless yahoo has just taken the mattress back out and dragged it under the Boardwalk.

Can just imagine the stains that homeless dude is putting his face against.

The only thing getting doxed here is Earth Tech.  They probably like the free advertising.

Not from you they don't.  I'm sure they've seem their fair share of your soil mattresses and bloody sheets.

Whatever is in it just gets ground together with the broken tv sets, the refrigerators that blow hot air, the air conditioners that are rusted to a stand still and all the carpeting from vacated apartments.

No, that is not what happens.  See, there's this thing called sorting....

I guess you haven't seen a landfill up close.

It's like at the casino, when I put filing cabinets, refrigerators, broken office furniture, plastic Christmas trees, toilets, tv sets and hundreds of pounds of room key cards in the same compactor.

This, along with the beer bottles, restroom waste paper, rotted expired food, telephones, radios, bed linens, air duct filters, broken vacuum cleaners, iron pipe fragments and light fixture ballasts that are already in there before I begin my shift.

You think anybody can be paid enough to pick that apart and sort it?

Not only do I think it, I know it.

Sure, you do.

You're not the guy who saw the back of an overloaded compactor bust open and spill its contents to form a fifty foot long turd pile of that trash.

There's no way to sort any of that.

I saw it with my own eyes and have seen landfills.

Those containers will be hauled to a transfer station and the contents will be sorted. 

What can go into a landfill, will be hauled to one. 

What can be recycled, will be recycled. And in some areas, not much recycling is going on. Especially glass.

The company who collects and hauls, should be the one who bid the lowest. Otherwise, the city/county is stupid for overpaying for the same service.

Depending on how much waste is accumulated in that certain area, the tipping fee will be included with the overall cost that the taxpayers pay. The collection/hauling company will work out a deal with the landfill to get a set tipping fee, in most cases. 

Like our area, the taxpayers pay $53 a year for this service. That's the fee divided up, to cover collection, hauling and tipping.

In our case, our county pays around a million bucks a year for waste management.

And what's done with stuff that has been so crunched together as to be almost inseparable, such as in an industrial grade trash compactor?

But, that's beside the point.  We're still talking about this open top dumpster.

It might be fast, easy and perhaps even economical to try sorting and recycling from there, but only if the people using it are playing by the rules.

We have six smaller dumpsters to hold the regular household trash and food waste.  That stuff doesn't belong in the bulk dumpster, but, there it is... Just because we have some tenants too lazy to walk the extra few yards to a small dumpster.  

So, when a 25 inch crt is shattered in the front and then bags of rancid gravy and dirty Depends fill the resulting cavity, who is going to pick the flyback transformer out of that thing and say, "Here's a valuable recycling item!" ?
