Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Opp and its neighbors.

• Covington County's own solid waste page is where the eligibility line for Andalusia and Opp is drawn, and it excludes them both. Describing its exemption program, the county says exemptions are "available in all areas of Covington County except municipalities that operate their own solid waste programs, including: Andalusia, Opp, Florala, Lockhart" and that "Residents living within these municipalities should contact their local city offices regarding their solid waste services and exemption programs." So the county treats Andalusia and Opp - the two towns in this county that will get pages - as running their own collection, and a reader inside either city limit is outside the county's billing program. The county does have a collection arrangement for everyone else: failure to renew an exemption "may result in the property being returned to the county's solid waste provider's billing program". The exemption itself is means-tested: it is offered "to qualifying residents whose only source of income is Disability or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)", needs a yearly proof of benefits letter, three months of bank statements, ID and a current bill showing residence, and must be renewed annually. The department also enforces against illegal dumping, warning that "Individuals caught illegally dumping waste may face fines, citations, and potential legal penalties." The Commission is at 260 Hillcrest Dr., PO Box 188, Andalusia, AL 36420, 334-428-2610. Source Not confirmed: The county does not name its solid waste provider, publish a rate, or describe what the provider's trucks will and will not take, so nothing can be said about whether county-arranged collection would take a mattress. Not confirmed: No bulky-item or large-item curbside pickup is described anywhere on the county's solid waste pages.
• Covington County is the only county in this group with a standing free-standing bulky drop-off, and it moves around the county month by month. The Commission "launched the Roll-Off Container Program in October 2025 as part of a proactive effort to combat illegal dumping and provide residents with convenient, responsible waste disposal options", placing roll-off containers "at Volunteer Fire Departments and other designated locations throughout Covington County, ensuring that residents in rural areas have reasonable access to proper waste disposal". What it is for is stated plainly: "Residents are encouraged to use the containers for large household items such as furniture, appliances, and other non-hazardous bulky waste", and the program is "designed to... Provide convenient disposal options for bulky household items". The published rota gives two sites a month: October 2026 Gantt Town Hall and Horn Hill / Indian Creek Intersection; November 2026 Carolina Town Hall and Rose Hill Community; December 2026 Loango Fire Department and Lockhart Town Hall; January 2027 Town of Heath and Pleasant Home Community; February 2027 Town of Sanford and Red Oak Fire Department; March 2027 Town of Red Level and Wing Fire Department; April 2027 Antioch Fire Department and Carolina Town Hall; May 2027 River Falls Police Department and Town of Libertyville; June 2027 Buck Creek Fire Department and Babbie Community; July 2027 Town of Heath and Pleasant Home Community; August 2027 Hopewell Fire Department and Onycha Store; September 2027 Carolina Town Hall and Rose Hill Community. The prohibited list is "Household garbage bags intended for regular waste collection, Hazardous chemicals or materials, Paint, oils, or solvents, Tires, Batteries, Medical or biohazard waste, Liquid waste, Any materials considered hazardous or environmentally harmful" - a mattress is not on it, and bedding sits squarely within "large household items". Source Not confirmed: No street address is published for any of the roll-off sites - only the name of a fire department, town hall or community - so the program cannot be recorded as a drop-off facility a reader can be directed to. Not confirmed: No charge is stated, and no statement that it is free, so it cannot be recorded as free. Not confirmed: No hours or dates within the month are published, and no statement of how long each container stays. Not confirmed: No eligibility rule is published. The page addresses "residents" and "residents in rural areas" county-wide, but does not say whether someone inside the Andalusia or Opp city limits - excluded from the county's exemption program - may use a container. Not confirmed: A mattress is not named in either the accepted description or the prohibited list.
• Covington County operates no landfill of its own. ADEM's Construction/Demolition and Industrial Landfills list (revision date July 31, 2020) records five sites in the county, none of them the county's: the "Andalusia Construction/Demolition Landfill", Permit No. 20-06, permittee "City of Andalusia", 50 tons per day, "Service Area: Covington County, AL"; the "Opp Construction/Demolition Landfill", Permit No. 20-07, permittee "City of Opp", 100 cubic yards per day, "Service Area: Covington County"; the "Lockhart Construction and Demolition Landfill", Permit No. 20-04, permittee "Town of Lockhart", restricted to "Service Area: Town Limits of Lockhart, AL"; "IMMAC Power Solutions Incorporated", Permit No. 20-09, a private site serving five states; and "Ashberry C/D Landfill & Tire Recycling Facility", Permit No. 20-10, Ashberry Landfill, LLC, 24961 Wages Road, Opp, AL 36467, 2000 cubic yards per day, serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. ADEM's Permitted Municipal Solid Waste Landfills list (revision November 24, 2021) shows no MSW landfill in Covington County at all, so there is no county household-waste landfill: the two municipal sites whose permits reach the whole county are construction and demolition sites run by Andalusia and Opp. Source Not confirmed: None of the five sites publishes a rate card, hours, an accepted-items list or a mattress policy, so none meets the standard for an option a reader can be sent to. Not confirmed: A construction and demolition permit does not cover household bedding, and none of these sites says whether a mattress is accepted. Not confirmed: Both ADEM master lists predate 2022, so a site opened or closed since would not appear. The revision dates are printed on the documents.
