Reply to comment by wolf95oct0ber in Mattress recycling and the personal responsibility argument in climate change by cowboy_dude_6

Can't you throw it away if it's been contaminated with bodily fluids? Or is that only for clothing?

Good question I can’t remember and would have to search Mass.gov and check.

Okay, I found some more:

"According to RecyclingWorks Massachusetts, for a mattress to be recycled, it must be made of metal, textiles, wood, and/or foam, and must be dry and free of mold. Bedding items exempt from the new waste ban typically aren’t accepted by mattress recyclers."
