The rules are being applied to companies and not individuals which I think reveals a lot about the State. WRT bedding I never had a problem since most times when you buy one the company will haul the old bedding away. And when I needed to get rid of extra mattresses it never fit in my garbage can and I needed to deal with the trash company in our town.

But shoes? Clothes? Old towels? I can put them in the garbage can and stick the problem to the disposal company. Personally I think a lot of "recycling" is pretty bogus. I heard only 0 and 1 plastics are really recycled and the rest go into the trash stream. Unless and until the state/states get together and solve the waste stream problems this is all crap!
