Upholstery!

I live in a dense neighborhood and not a month goes by where I don’t see an old couch, an old mattress, an old futon or an old stuff chair sitting out in the street. This bugs me. Isn’t there some way to recycle these things? Maybe take all the stuffing out, clean it and put it into jackets or something? Take all the wire and springs out and melt them down for scrap? Chip all the wood for particle board or paper?
