To drain a broken toilet, place towels or plastic sheeting around the base in case of splashing or overflowing. Next, shut off the toilet’s water supply, usually via a valve on the wall behind the toilet. Begin flushing the handle to remove as much water as possible from the tank and the bowl.

If your old mattress is in decent shape and isn’t infested, heavily stained, or damaged, you can try contacting local donation centers to recycle your mattress at no cost. These include Habitat for Humanity, homeless shelters, animal shelters, thrift stores, and furniture recycling organizations. In many cases, you’ll need to transport your mattress to the donation center, but you won’t have to pay for the disposal.

Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth it. You might think you can ignore the area since it’s out of sight, but doing so can lead to pest infestations, mold, and other problems. Crawl space cleaning costs between $0.50 and $4 per square foot, but the cost to deal with pests or mold would be much higher.

If you’re buying a new mattress, the easiest way to get rid of your old one is to have the retailer remove it and haul it away when they deliver the new one. This ensures a seamless process, and you’ll often save money on the removal services since your movers will already be on-site. If your mattress is in good condition and you’re not having a retailer deliver a new one, you can consider donating or recycling it, which is often free, although you’ll have to transport it yourself.
