Brickbat: Sweat Is a Bodily Fluid, Right?

Massachusetts has banned residents from throwing away mattresses, as well as textiles like bedding, clothing, shoes, curtains and towels. Officials said it's part of an effort to reduce waste in landfills. The new regulations have an exception for material that has mold or has been contaminated with bodily fluids, oil, hazardous substances, or insects.

Ooooo! Two-fer! Get rid of my mattress and my used motor oil at the same time!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Quite the loophole they've allowed the common man.

[SQRLSY One]

If sweat is NOT considered an unholy body fluid... Just PISS on your mattress, and away it goes!

[mpercy]

Expect to see mattresses lining the sides of the highway as people will just toss them.

[Mockamodo]

That was my immediate thought as well. They even say in the article that at least 1/3 of the mattresses can be recycled, so what the heck happens to the other 2/3 if they can't be thrown away and can't be recycled?

Google pay 200$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12000 for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it outit.. ? AND GOOD LUCK.:)

So we leave old mattresses at the governor's mansion?

There's a "Tell me you're a sexless Millennial/Gen Zer without telling me your a sexless Millennial/Gen Zer." joke in here somewhere.

[Social Justice is neither]

So part of the "approved" disposal process is to piss on or otherwise contaminate the mattress before tossing it. Got it.

[Griffin3]

Yeah. Now do this with furniture. Nice going Massholes: stop your landfills from filling up by just refusing to put stuff in the landfills.

[kevrob]

You don't have to pee on a mattress. The bedbugs already make it eligible to toss.

[sarcasmic]

Clever! Don't you see? This is a way to help the homeless! Give them mountains of mattresses! They can build mattress cities! Brilliant!

[Unicorn Abattoir]

There's already a chain of Mattress City stores. Better call it something else.

[Illocust]

So instead of throwing away things that can be raided and reused by poor college students. Homeowners are now required to damage the things the broken down mattresses they are replacing.

[Don't look at me!]

So it is written, so it shall be done.

[TheReEncogitationer]

Yeah, Yul! He was never at risk for head lice!

Just throw your mattress away anyway. Looking at it in a microscope will show dust mites and all manner of vermin.

[Rossami]

Just when you think California legislators couldn't get any crazier, Massachusetts legislators say "hold my beer".

[Squirrelloid]

Forget sweat - if your mattress hasn't been 'contaminated' by a different bodily fluid, you aren't making good use of your mattress.

[mad.casual]

Yeah. The idea is detached from our reality. If I ever say the phrase 'used mattress' you are 100% correct in assuming 'contaminated by bodily fluids'. Whether that's bed-wetting, snot-nosed, nose-bleeding pre-teens, teens alone behind locked doors, or adults together behind locked doors. 'Christening a new mattress' or 'retiring an old mattress' aren't even really euphemisms. Still well above 30% probability of being directly correct for any porous surface on any piece of furniture larger than ~1 sq. ft. within ~10 degrees of horizontal. Everything from full hotels down to car seats, trunks, airplane bathrooms, and dressing rooms anywhere from the lowest habitable portion of the Earth's crust to low Earth Orbit. Maybe funeral parlors are exempt. Maybe.

[Dillinger]

there are like 150 people living outside @635 & 75 in Dallas maybe they'd like the mattresses

[TangoDelta]

Incontinence definitely produces a bodily fluid. A little wee goes a long way to solving the "can't throw it away" problem. Ain't that a pisser?
