Someone dumps a mattress on your property

Speaking of dumping. Today I noticed a pretty sizeable boat and old trailer left beside a field. The ID stickers were removed from the boat. Not going to be easy to get rid of. I hope they can somehow identify the owner of this boat. If it wound up on my property I would go over it with a fine tooth comb to figure out who owns it.
Put a motor on if it floats and go fishing...lol
If dumped on the Road Right of Way, it becomes the responsibility of the maintenance organization (Township/City/County/State etc...). The agency I work for has a budget you'd choke on the number to get rid of all the stuff dumped in the ROW.
If on your property, you are it.
Previous employer had a code officer who worked with the Sherriff's office - they loved finding remnants of addresses and names and such in things dumped in the ROW and on others property. They wrote plenty of citations for illegal dumping... All depends on whether law enforcement gives it any priority.

If it was in the side of the road you might be fall under the rules for an abandoned vehicle. My county has an ordinance for abandoned vehicles on personal property where a deputy inspectes it and tries to contact any previous owners. If there's no response you get paperwork that lets you dispose of it.
Push it to the other side of the road. Then call the cops and tell them there is a mattress on the roadway.
The scumbuckery level is at new highs lately. I guess all those no littering slogans from the 1960-1970's need revival.
WA land of green............more litter than ever. The heck.

It depends on where you live .
"I'm special. The rules don't apply to me."
In board engine on this one. Not a small boat. But old.
You see lots of trash dumped by the side of the road, usually things that would cost money to dispose of properly.
Why should I have to buy a bag to dispose of a mattress?
Why should I pay five bucks each to dispose of tires?
I'll just throw this refuse out of the bed of my truck and make it someone else's problem.
We seem increasingly to live in a country overrun with people with no sense of shame or personal responsibility.

It’s not the right thing to do, but I’d do the same. Burn enough stuff and even the steel will disappear!
Burning mattress smells bad, do it on a hot or freezing evening when no one else is trying to sit around outside
I'd just save it for Erf day and burn it then along with whatever tires I had saved up.
Beercans in the roadside ditch is a common sight around here.
Sad part is that the county dump here takes a lot of that stuff for FREE and they STILL illegally dump it.
