Mattress disposal?

Does anybody know what Somerville's regulations are on how to dispose of a mattress and box spring?  We're clearing out our guest bedroom for some extra space but we're not really sure what to do with the extra bed.  Anybody?

Make a pile of mattresses and put a pea at the bottom?

311 is good for questions like this.

you can just put them out with your weekly trash - I did so a few months ago. I think it falls under the auspices of disposing of furniture.

Ideal for saving parking spaces.

you can also try posting them on Somerville's FreeCycle if they're in decent condition. They're a pretty active list.

Another option

Dream Futon (now near Inman Sq.) takes drop offs for recycling, and will do pick ups for a fee as well.
