I literally tore one apart and put it in several contractor bags.

This is a nearly impossible job -- once I got to the springs, I had to spend a long time with an angle grinder to get through them all. Bagging a bunch of fucking big springs, not fun.

I also disassembled and then sledge hammered a piano. The piano, was more fun than the mattress.

And here I've been tossing them in any old alley. Stupid me.

We were denied access to both the Sission Street Dump and Northwest Transfer Station when doing this. Apparently it qualifies as a commercial vehicle and wasn't allowed for having writing on the side at Sission and wasn't allowed at Northwest for us not having a small haulers permit. We had to hire someone to take it.

Did this (pre-Covid) to get rid of a mattress, so it does work.

ReNew Mt Vernon is actually in Bolton Hill but they have a ground floor pool in the courtyard. Management sucks but for the most part the people who live there are really friendly. When I was there a few years back they had a lower price point than any other place listed so far.

They can't be that competent if they're the same folks who installed a bike lane in the middle of the North/Howard intersection. Whoever is responsible for that should be banished West Virginia.

If you have your license Home Depot rents trucks for $20 for the first 75 minutes

I've never done this but supposedly this is the way: Bulk trash and white goods (large appliance) collection

Yep. I've never had trouble getting rid of anything I put on their for free.

If utilities aren’t included, under $100 unless your usage is crazy.

You can rent a pickup truck for an hour for pretty cheap!

You are supposed to leave them on the shoulder of 295

Put it up on facebook marketplace for free. You'd be surprised what people will pick up.

To be specific. Most of my basement rainwater comes from my roof. We had a birds nest up there blocking the gutters. This caused the water to spill over and get into the basement. Once we fixed that no more water in the basement. Something to quickly check!

There are people who will haul it away for a price. I live in canton and there’s a bunch of people who do it here. Not sure where you live but you may want to ask on a local neighborhood page too.

john's junk

Don't have a car :(

If you can fit it in your vehicle, you can take it to the dump.

I grew up locally in Timonium (where ‘pool season’ is an actual season) and spent my 30s in the ‘traditional’ downtown Baltimore CBD in buildings with pools as described. The advice given above is spot on. Currently live in downtown Towson and there are a half-dozen great options I’d be willing to recommend via PM but not trying to give away my specific location. This is my opinion and mine only, but unless you’re stuck on Baltimore, forget Harbor East/Canton/Federal Hill. May as well move to DC or NYC if that’s what you really want. Price difference for a higher-end studio or small 1br (based on what I think OP is describing) would be negligible.

I’m going to presume you aren’t just a bad faith NIMBY from the county and engage. A study and plan already exists and is widely desired by the surrounding neighborhoods (signed letters at the end of the PDF).

Anybody have good recs for streetwear stores in maryland?

There was a study done a few years ago to narrow the width of the lanes on MLK so that the median could be widened and so that a proper bike path could be added alongside. I have no idea what happened to this proposal, but it seems like it might be a good first step.

In an ideal world, we'd take out most of MLK and re-build the street grid so that the west side wasn't as isolated from downtown, but that's a pipe dream until we get a much better public transit system.
