So is this another cart before the horse idiocy? Is this going to be another revenue generating mandate where people are going to have to pay to get rid of this stuff? Is there going to be curbside pickup, or are people who are not equipped to drive these to some facility going to be SOL?

Another short sighted, ball massaging program that has no infrastructure to support it working? When are people going to learn, when are people going to demand that half baked ideas need to planned with the means to carry it out. When are MA residents going to see that they are getting charged or will be charged for everything they do.

The fun part is, stupid things like this are just going to get worse

Just post it for free on Craigslist and never EVER buy a mattress from Craigslist.

What city or town do you live in? Do they offer a pickup or disposal program?

This will have zero effect on households. No one looks through your bin for a stray 2x4 now no one will look through your trash for a clean shirt either. This is strictly for businesses.

That's interesting as my recyclables have been rejected before for having something in the bin that they don't recycle.

You can't hide a mattress in a garbage bag, and clothes/textiles may get by if only a few, but throwing away anything that will fill a garbage bag may get caught.

If people want to have these picked up, they "must contact a trucking company" meaning $$$$$$

So under the guise of green/recyclables MA residents have just incurred another payment. When will people wake up and see the state has their hands in your wallets every single thing you do

I was gonna say something about how having tainted recycling is not the same as throwing away a shirt, but you seem to think you're entitled to trash magically disappearing for a fixed rate forever, so good luck with that.
