    Indeed...it was just a passing thought...something I felt the need to discuss. Just wondering with all the money that the "STATES" Involved are charging Mattress sellers where does it go? and who really benefits? I have found a solution to my dilemma. Quite the positive one at that! I will post pics when all is said and done! Thanks!

    I don't remember many details, but the program was implemented recently in California. It's similar to the TV/Monitor program here. I do believe individuals get paid from recycling centers for their mattress. The recycling center is reimbursed for both the payment to the individual and the cost of recycling the mattress. It's still new, but I foresee businesses opening up similar to the "Cash for your old TV" places where middlemen jump in to get a few bucks out of the deal.
