re: May I put an old mattress on the street in East Baton Rouge Parish?

Just make sure not to rip the tag off or you’ll be in big trouble if a cop rides by and notices

Just dump it on a street named after an Indian tribe. Someone will pick it up and use it.

Call 311, they will tell you the answer and the day to put it out if they do pick up.

We have an old black man with a big trailer come through our neighborhood every Sunday. If it has any chance of being worth something or fixed he picks it up

Yup. Brought out an old bed frame and put it next to the trash figuring someone would pick it up. It was gone in a couple of hours. Thought “frick it” and drug the old mattress out there after. It was gone by the next morning.
