I would treat their mattress as a HAZMAT item—just like Jerry’s.He’s over $150? What’s that? Besides, any charitable deduction at all from the Pennys is likely to generate a fraud investigation by the IRS.
Pretty sure they dumpster dive at Goodwill before they deposit their useless junk in the bin. .(I can just see Burl’s fat little legs flailing in the air after going too far in and Joy having to assist him out.)
OK, there is a used toilet brush, a plumbers helper and ‘no pest strip’. What the heck is that bottle with the straw, and that can’t be a bed pan, can it?I could use that 1989 Almanac.
No one mentioned the reminder to renig on the pledge. And used garbage cans? I’m happy when the city exchanges for a new one occaisionally; they have to be built to fit their dumpsters.
The reality is that the Goodwill ( or any charity) probably gets stuff like this. I once was Chairman of a Christmas basket drive. We asked for canned goods and useable toys. We got leaky dented cans, a can of chocolate covered baby bumblebees, a can of bamboo curry,cans of heaven knows what from foreign countries that were years out of date, and toys that were so dirty and disgusting that we took to wearing rubber gloves! Yeah we got good stuff too, but I was amazed that somebody would think we wanted the bad stuff. I now know the kind of people who would donate this junk, their name is Penny!

Pardon my ignorance in such matters, but doesn’t a donation need someone to accept it? The Penny’s couldn’t give me the time of day.

It’s difficult to properly dispose of mattresses these days and impossible to donate them. Won’t Burl and Joy be surprised?
