2City curbside pickup in Russellville
Russellville’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Russellville curbside trash collection (three cubic yards a cycle, then an unpublished fee)
Every resident and business inside the city limits: § 54-46 makes participation mandatory unless the county health department grants a certificate of exception, and § 54-51 makes the city's collection exclusive — "No person or business entity shall engage in garbage and rubbish collection within the city limits unless expressly authorized by the city council."
Conditions and source
Section 54-33 provides that "Rubbish, which shall include trash (other than garbage), limbs, brush and leaves, must be placed within five feet of the curb line, but not in the street, ditches or gutters, on regular collection days for removal by the city without additional charge. However, not more than three cubic yards per cycle shall be moved without charge in any one month. Amounts over three cubic yards per cycle will be subject to a fee as provided in the city fee schedule." Rubbish is defined in § 54-1 to include "Furniture" among combustible trash and "Metal furniture" among noncombustible trash, and "Trash includes garbage and rubbish". Section 54-35 adds that "Rocks, dirt and tree stumps will not be picked up by the city", that tree limbs "shall not exceed six feet in length or 75 pounds in weight", that leaves and grass clippings must be separated at the curb line, and that cat litter must be bagged and sharps sealed in hard plastic. Garbage goes in city-issued containers and is collected at least weekly; the monthly charge is billed on the water and electric bill under §§ 54-32 and 54-34. The Street Department is at 109 Madison Street at 256-332-8750; the city publishes no sanitation page.
Not confirmed: Bedding is not named anywhere in Chapter 54, so whether a mattress is the "rubbish" § 54-33 collects is unestablished, although furniture is named
Not confirmed: The over-three-cubic-yard fee and the mandatory monthly garbage charge are both referred to a city fee schedule that the city does not publish
Not confirmed: The code says the city operates a landfill and bills landfill charges, but gives it no address, hours, rate or eligibility rule, and Franklin County publishes nothing either

What Russellville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Russellville's city website publishes nothing at all about waste. Its list of city departments runs Police, Municipal Court, Street Department, Building Licensing Zoning, Parks & Recreation and Fire Department: there is no sanitation department, no garbage page, no fee schedule and no landfill page. The Street Department page, the only public works page on the site, describes a different job entirely: "The City of Russellville Street Department is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all of the municipal roadways inside the city limits. The street department also responds with other emergency service providers when severe storms come through our area and cause trees or other debris to block our streets. The street department also provides other services to the citizens as needed." It gives an address at 109 Madison Street, Russellville, AL 35653, hours of Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the number 256-332-8750 for the superintendent. The site's only route to any of this is a bare "MUNICODE" link in the navigation. Source Not confirmed: The city publishes no sanitation page, no collection schedule, no accepted or refused item list and no fee schedule; the ordinance is the only public source for a Russellville resident
What Franklin County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Russellville and its neighbors.
- Franklin County, Alabama runs a landfill and publishes its hours and nothing else. The county's Departments page, Solid Waste entry: "Landfill Hours: Monday – Friday 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM First Saturday of each month 7:00 AM to Noon", with the landfill reachable on "(256) 332-5983" and the billing office on "(256) 332-8412" at 405 N. Jackson Ave, Russellville, AL 35653. The county names no street address for the dump, no rate, no accepted-items list and no eligibility rule. The once-a-month Saturday opening is the only concession to a householder who works weekdays. Source Not confirmed: No street address for the Franklin County landfill is published on a county page, so no facility record can be made. Third-party directories give 6525 Highway 524, Russellville, AL 35653, which no government page confirms. Not confirmed: No tipping fee, minimum charge or per-item rate is published. Not confirmed: No eligibility rule is published — whether the dump is open to all comers or to Franklin County residents with ID is not stated. Not confirmed: Nothing on the county's pages names a mattress or box spring, so whether the landfill takes one is not established.
- Franklin County, ALABAMA runs its own solid waste department and publishes almost nothing about what it will collect. The county's Departments page, Solid Waste entry: personnel "Gene Ward"; "Billing Office (256) 332-8412"; "Landfill (256) 332-5983". Payments "can be made online at https://franklincountyal.mygovhub.com" or "placed in night deposit at the office at 405 N. Jackson Ave, Russellville, AL 35653 or by mail at P.O. Box 1205, Russellville, AL 35653". The forms offered are a "Customer Application", "Bank Draft", "Dumpster Contract", "Billing Exemption" and "SSI-Disability Exemption", which together show a subscription household collection with exemptions, and the department bills its own customers. That is the whole of the county's published service description: there is no accepted-items list, no bulky or white goods round, no rate, and no statement of which towns are inside or outside the service. This is Franklin County ALABAMA on franklincountyal.org. It is not the Franklin County, Washington already researched, and it is not Franklin County, Florida, whose franklincountyparks.com solid waste page (210 Highway 65, Eastpoint, Florida) was checked and discarded during this pass. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no monthly rate for household collection, no service area, and no accepted or excluded items list. Not confirmed: No bulky-item, large-item or white goods collection is published, and the county never names a mattress, box spring or furniture anywhere. Not confirmed: The Customer Application PDF, which might carry the rate and the service area, is a scanned document that could not be read as text on September 28, 2026.

- 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.
