The problem is not with the mattress. The mattress is fine, and I'm keeping it. It's the bed frame I'm getting rid of.
I'm getting rid of the bedframe because I don't want it anymore, not because of the bedbugs. It's just too big for my room, that's all. The problem is that I don't want to throw it in the trash, but I can't imagine who would take it, given the bed bug situation.
donate it - a storage bed is pretty handy, and bedbugs don't actually really like wood or metal.
It's a LOT of pieces, and it's not real wood (it's that weird wood composite shit), so I'm worried that if I missed even one bed bug egg when I'm going over it, it could infect the new owner's home.
Also, nobody will take it if I tell them it came from a home with a bed bug problem (albeit the worlds most bafflingly mild bed bug problem). But if I don't tell them that feels unfair to them. They deserve to know.
