Re: [greenyes] reuse for mattresses?

[Lisa Heller <Lisa_Heller@no.address>]

Dump & Run has been told by several sources (some of them more 
reliable than others) that laws prohibit used mattresses from being 
sold. I have never confirmed these statements, but have operated on 
the assumption that this was true.

What we have done is given these mattresess away at our recycling 
sales, free with any frame or boxspring purchase.

Mattresses are sometimes accepted by furniture retailers as well.
