What that means for you
Start with your trash bill. If it says Waste Management and you are on the County contract, you may have a free large item pickup waiting: give them a week's notice and ask about the mattress by name. If your hauler is private, ask them what bulk pickup costs.
If neither works, Tijeras is the drop-off, and you will need a truck and proof you live in the East Mountains. We carry it from the room and bring the truck to you, which is usually why people up here call. Tell us about the road in, since we have no way of knowing your driveway from the map.
