Mattress Core Charge!!!

[chancer]

So my 2 Kids needed new Twin size mattresses for their beds.
Being that we still live in California... We are broke. So off to the Wal Mart we went. Found some mattresses for $99.00. When we went to the Checkout they informed us there was an $11.00 "Disposal Fee".
I asked "So Like a Core charge? If we bring the old mattresses back to you Do we get our $11.00 back"...
The lady said "NO NO NO Do NOT bring them back here we have no way of disposing them. This is a disposal Fee not a core charge. Kalifornia requires us to charge it, and the money goes to the state."

Well I still have to pay separately AGAIN to my trash service to have these oversize items removed at $10.00 a piece.
So since I have already paid the State of Kalifornia $11.00 to dispose of these and there is no collection site.
I am in a real dilema. My Question is this...
Do I dump them on the side of a STATE road.
Or pay AGAIN out of pocket to dispose of them properly.
Keep in mind this amounts to a 21% TAX on these $99.00 Mattresses on top of the 9% State Sales Tax. For a grand Total of 30% tax to buy a kids Mattress!!!
I think dumping the old mattresses on the side of the road and having the state get them removed is only the fair thing to do. As I have already paid the State $42.00 for tax and "disposal".

Well I want to know y'alls opinion. I "promise" to go with the popular vote.
No wait you guys will vote to "dispose of properly" just to cost me 20 bucks!

Dump 'em man.
How many times do you have to pay for a mattress?

Same thing with tires. The state is paid to pick rubber off the highways, keep them employed.
Job security donchaknow?

That is another funny one.
So they take your disposal Fee, then sell the tires to a used tire shop and he charges a Disposal Fee!
The state wins Twice!
Ever feel like washing you mouth out with a handgun?

No.

I used to work for ADOT. I've picked my fair share of rubber. There's a big pile of used tires behind the state yard.

I once needed a few old tires to hold down a tarp on the roof. They wouldn't let me have any.
I asked, why?
They said, well, if we let you have some, others will want some too. So I figger they must really like old tires.

I help them out whenever I can.

No... We'll hold out for the 2500.00 littering fine.

"$1000.00 Fine for littering."
Apparently this is also Double taxation!
If they are Charging Disposal fees at the point of original sale it should be free to Dump Things on State Property.

Cover your plates, drive around back at Walmart, and toss them by the dumpsters, or leave them by the dock.
You paid them a disposal fee, now let them dispose!
