Which mattresses one person can move and which can't, the stand-it-up-and-slide-it method for hallways, doorways, and stairs, how to strap one in a truck legally, and the short list of situations where it's not worth the risk. From Weston Molitor, founder of Wild West Junk Removal in Temecula.
There's no California statute titled "bed bug mattress disposal," just four laws that each touch one piece of it, and most people get the order wrong before they ever pick up the phone. Wild West founder Weston Molitor walks through what the state actually requires, why the room gets treated before the mattress leaves, how to seal and label it so it doesn't spread, and the real drop-off and pickup options around Temecula.
Most people don't replace a mattress on a schedule — they replace it once something finally gets uncomfortable enough, often years too late. Weston Molitor breaks down how long a mattress actually lasts by construction type, a ten-minute test to check yours tonight, and what the sleep and allergy research says about waiting too long.
