They are charging 18 bucks a mattress to process.
But because the landfill only charges 2 bucks, they are trying to get a law passed to make each new mattress sold include the recycling cost.

Seems like a lot of things we buy or replace now have a recycling fee added on.

Thought about getting a new mattress earlier this year and absolutely cannot believe what they cost so decided the old one is just fine after all.

Typical ...liberal ...make work/play work project. If something can’t work without legislative intervention...its really probably not such a hot idea!!
