April 30th, 2015 — At the end of each month and especially the end of the school year, abandoned mattresses appear on Vancouver streets. At one time people who wouldn’t or couldn’t pay the $15 fee required by the landfill to dispose of mattresses would dump them in alleys but lately the mattresses have been appearing on the main streets of upscale neigbourhoods. The mattresses above were just off Broadway near Macdonald. The one below on King Edward Avenue near Dunbar.
