craigslist, free.

craigslist... look for listings that sell cheap mattresses. Those are usually refurbished mattresses. Ask them if they can pick up yours..?

Free ad on Craigslist.

Free ad on local garage sale page on Facebook - these pages seem to be proliferating.

Put it on the curb with a sign saying $5. Wait for it to be stolen overnight.

Put it on the curb with a sign saying $500. Wait for it to be stolen overnight.

Fixed. Nobody want's to steal cheap crap.

If it's usable, the options above will work. If it's trash and this is a house with its own trash pickup service, many (most?) trash services give you a certain number of large item pickup's per year.

Or, you can put it on the curb then report it as abandoned and the city trash will pick it up. Apartment managers have to deal with this issue all the time.

Mom and I have been doing spring cleaning. We send stuff to Habitat For Humanity each weekend. Theres also charity groups that will come to your house and pick stuff up with their own muscles. I think Wounded Warrior or Purple Hearts will do it.
