What Rainsville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Rainsville collects its own garbage and publishes almost nothing about it. The only account on the city website is the Public Works paragraph on the City Government page: 'The public works department maintains city facilities, city vehicles and equipment, and streets and other infrastructure. It also operates the city's daily garbage pick-up service which currently serves approximately 2,300 customers. Residential and commercial trash pick-up services are available. A roll-off dumpster truck serves large commercial refuge-disposal needs. The "garage" located behind city hall — adjacent to the city park — is their home base.' Jimmy Brooks is named as Public Works Director, and 'For department inquiries, or to order dumpster or sanitation service, contact the department through City Hall at 256.638.6331.' Sewer and sanitation bills are paid at City Hall, 70 McCurdy Avenue South (PO Box 309, Rainsville, AL 35986), at the drive-through window, or online at citisenportal.com; the city warns that doxo.com is not affiliated with it. The site has no sanitation or public works page of its own — the Public Works link in the menu is an anchor back to this same paragraph — and no schedule, rate, item list or bulky-waste rule is published anywhere on it. Source Not confirmed: Rainsville publishes no bulky-item, large-item or special-pickup policy of any kind, and names no accepted or refused items. Not confirmed: No monthly sanitation rate is published on the city website. Not confirmed: No collection schedule, route map or set-out rule is published. Not confirmed: The city's own site does not mention the arrangement under which Rainsville also collects for parts of unincorporated DeKalb County; that account comes from a newspaper, not from the city.
What DeKalb County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Rainsville and its neighbors.
- The landfill inside DeKalb County, Alabama is a private one and publishes no household price. Marshall County's solid waste plan of June 17, 2025 describes it: "Sand Valley Landfill (Permit No. 25-04) ... is a Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill that is owned and operated by GEK, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BFI Waste Systems of North America, Inc. Note that BFI Waste Systems of North America is owned by Republic Services. This landfill is located at 3345 County Road 209 in Collinsville, Dekalb County, and is permitted to accept waste from the following counties in Alabama: Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, DeKalb, Etowah, Jackson, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Morgan, Randolph, St. Clair, and Talladega." It is permitted for "residential garbage, commercial waste, industrial waste, construction and demolition debris" among other wastes, at "2,100 tons per day". That permitted service area is a regulatory boundary on where waste may come from, not an invitation to the public, and Republic publishes no gate rate, no opening hours for self-haul and no residency rule for the site. DeKalb County itself owns no landfill, transfer station or drop-off site. Source Not confirmed: No published tipping fee, minimum charge, per-item bulky rate, opening hours or public-access rule exists for Sand Valley Landfill on Republic Services' own pages; a figure quoted in a directory listing or a customer review is not a published price and is not recorded. Not confirmed: Whether Sand Valley accepts a household bringing a single mattress is not published anywhere.
- DeKalb County, ALABAMA — the commission at dekalbcountyal.us, not the DeKalb County of Illinois, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri or Tennessee — publishes no sanitation or solid waste department at all. The county site's own menu of offices and services is: Animal Control Center, Board of Registrars, Council on Aging, EMA, Engineering, Road Department, Rural Public Transportation, Sales Tax, Fuel & Tobacco Tax, Voting Districts, Current Bids, Meeting Minutes, Job Postings, Calendar and Staff. There is no garbage collection page, no landfill page, no transfer station, no convenience center, no drop-off site, no fee schedule and no free dump day anywhere on the county's site. Anyone searching 'DeKalb County solid waste' will land instead on health.dekalbcounty.org, which is the DeKalb County Health Department of ILLINOIS — its address is "2550 North Annie Glidden Road, DeKalb, IL 60115", its phone is a (815) number and it cites the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. None of that page applies to Fort Payne or Rainsville and it is recorded here only so the mistake is not made again. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes nothing about household collection, disposal sites or fees, so the county-level answer rests entirely on what the municipalities publish.
- No mattress recycling program covers DeKalb County, Alabama. The Mattress Recycling Council's own site says it is "Operating Statewide in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island" and that it was "formed by the mattress industry to operate recycling programs in states that have passed mattress recycling laws". Alabama has passed none and does not appear on the page. DeKalb County's commission publishes no recycling program of any kind, and the only disposal site inside the county is Republic Services' Sand Valley Landfill at Collinsville, which buries waste rather than recovering it. Source Not confirmed: No private mattress recycler publishing an address and terms was found in this county.

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
