Question is (other than having the trash folks come and pick it up which I guess is the simplest option) is there any place or charity that will come and PICK UP a queen mattress as a donation? I called a few and they don't take mattresses. I'd rather donate it than junk it but I just want to get it out of here. Our 2/2 doesn't have lots of free walls to lean it on and it doesn't look great in the livingroom!!

Anyone know of a Church or organization that takes them?
It's a little work, but I put one out leaning against the garage door with a FREE sign on it. It was gone the same day, in a few hours. Especially if you are in an area of recent construction where there are a lot of workers in the area. Some lawn care companies pick up stuff like that. I did this two days before garbage day so if it was not gone, I would move it to the garbage by the street. I doubt you will find any organization that will come get it.
