• Pike Road owns no garbage trucks. Under Sanitation its Citizen Services Guide says: "AmWaste provides weekly garbage collection and yard waste pickup. This partnership utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and local customer service, saving taxpayer dollars by eliminating the need for town-owned trucks." Recycling is the town's own: "This site features recycling trailers funded by the Alabama Recycling Fund and ADEM. Plastics #1 & #2, Paper, Aluminum and Cardboard are all accepted", at 450 Pike Road, Pike Road, AL 36064, open Tuesday through Thursday — the town's FAQ gives the window as opening Tuesdays at 8 a.m. and remaining open 24 hours a day until closing at 5 p.m. on Thursday. Town Hall is 9575 Vaughn Rd, phone 334-272-9883.

• Asked directly, Pike Road sends residents to the county's Saturday drop-offs and names the three nearest. The town's FAQ answer to "How do I dispose of large trash or debris items?" reads: "The Montgomery County Commission and AmWaste offer free trash drop-off sites throughout the county on the last Saturday of each month. In the Pike Road area, drop-off locations are: Pike Road High School, the Georgia Washington Campus, and the County Lot Office, across from the Feed Lot on Meriwether Road (near the intersection of Meriwether and Pike Roads). For details regarding acceptable and unacceptable drop-off items, contact the Montgomery County Commission Offices at 334-832-1210." That is the town's whole published answer for a large item. Source Not confirmed: The town refers the acceptable-item question to a phone number rather than publishing it, so whether a mattress may be taken to a Saturday site is not stated here; Montgomery County's own page names no mattress among its accepted or refused items either. Not confirmed: The town names AmWaste as the county's partner in these drop-offs while Montgomery County's own page names Martin Environmental Services. Neither page acknowledges the other. Not confirmed: The three Pike Road-area sites are named by landmark, with no street addresses, so none has been cataloged as a facility.
