What a satisfying feeling. This afternoon our used queen mattress and box springs were picked up by a member of the east side’s Freecycle group.
I posted this on Monday: Mattress and split box springs: Original Mattress Factory Orthopedic Luxury Firm. Twelve years old. No stains. No pets have ever slept on it. Good for someone who does not have aging back issues.
From late Monday evening through Tuesday I received 20 replies. Who knew that there were so many people on the east side who wanted a used queen mattress.
The woman, who was the first one to answer my post, told us that she had joined Freecycle about a month or so ago in order to get rid of stuff in her garage. Instead she picked up something from our garage.
With a big smile on each of our faces we waved goodbye as she drove away with the mattress and box springs in the back of her old, blue and white Ford Ranger.
Tonight we sleep on our new mattress, happy that we reduced what we send to a landfill.
