the Salvation Army in Oakland leaves mattress sprawled out throughout its parking lot. These aren't covered from the weather and the piles keep getting bigger and dirtier. I presume they do this so the local homeless can take a mattress but it just ends up in homeless people making forts out of mattresses, contributing to the garbage issue in Oakland. Furthermore, since the homeless come to this spot to rummage, clothes are often left scattered throughout the parking lot also, from the bins. I suggest the Salvation Army holds the mattresses and give one per person. I don't see how leaving a pile of mattress out all the time in the rain, will help anyone as they collect mold and dirt. I took a photo and this is after the lot has been cleaned up (which is a first in 2 months).
