Like I said, if all else fails there is always Craigslist or I have watched a few videos as to how to effectively cut it in to smaller mini beds that might be great for my 4 dogs

Go the CL-free route. I'm sure there is someone less fortunate than you who would be glad to have a used mattress that was $750 new.

Bed bugs and mites are legitimate concerns; however, they can be controlled. If you live in place that gets over 90 deg in the summer, whoever takes the mattress can seal it in a plastic bag and let it sit in the sun for an afternoon. The heat will kill anything in there.

One can also run a steam gun or clothing steamer over the entire mattress. I don't think the steam is hot enough to melt the foam, but if it is, then stop.

The new owner could also buy an anti-allergen/bed bug-proof mattress cover.

Last think you should do is haul it to a dump, much less pay someone to take it when there are ppl who would be glad to come pick it up.
