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

• Colbert County, Alabama names exactly one tip and gives neither its address nor its price. The county's Trash Pick-Up Information page: "If you choose not to use the roadside pickup service, the community disposal location in the County is the Colbert County landfill, listed under Shoals Solid Waste Authority at (256) 381-9030." That is the whole of what the county publishes about self-haul: an operator name and a telephone number. The same page warns "Illegal dumping may result in fines and other possible charges for creating an illegal dump site." The Shoals Solid Waste Authority is the joint authority of Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia, so the county's disposal site sits under a tri-city body rather than the county itself. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no street address for the Colbert County landfill, so no facility record can be made from a primary source. Not confirmed: No gate fee, minimum charge or per-item rate is published by the county, and the Shoals Solid Waste Authority has no website of its own that publishes a rate card. Not confirmed: No eligibility rule is published: whether the dump is open to all comers, to county residents with ID, or only to the three member cities is not stated. Not confirmed: Whether the site accepts a mattress is not stated anywhere by the county or the authority.
• Colbert County, Alabama names a mattress on its own trash page and sends a truck for it. The Colbert County Commission's Trash Pick-Up Information page, under "White Goods Roadside Pickup Service": "In a continuing effort to keep Colbert County clean, the Colbert County Commission operates three trucks for the White Goods Roadside Pickup Service. Residents are asked to follow the rules below so the service can operate safely and efficiently." "What We Pick Up: Items placed at your residential dwelling adjoining the County right of way, positioned so they do not create a traffic hazard and remain accessible to pickup trucks. Household goods such as mattresses, refrigerators, televisions, washers, and similar items. Limbs over 8 feet when cut into smaller pieces for pickup. Leaves and grass clippings must be boxed or bagged. Yard debris and shrubs." "If you clear a lot where there is no dwelling, you are responsible for disposing of the debris from that lot." "What We Do Not Pick Up: No Tires; No Batteries; No construction-company or commercially generated debris; No Bio-Hazardous materials; No grass clippings or leaves unless bagged or boxed; No large tree stumps or tree balls; No residential houses, trailers, campers, or boats; No slabs of concrete; No debris from clearing or cleaning fence rows." The limit that matters for eligibility: "Roadside pickup service is not available on Federal or State Highways; the County does not pick up items placed on those rights-of-way." For the alternative: "If you choose not to use the roadside pickup service, the community disposal location in the County is the Colbert County landfill, listed under Shoals Solid Waste Authority at (256) 381-9030." Questions: "Colbert County Garbage Collection Agency at (256) 383-9918". Signed "Colbert County Commissioners". Source Not confirmed: No fee is published for the white goods round at all. The county does not call it free and does not price it. Not confirmed: The county says items must be at a dwelling "adjoining the County right of way" and that the service is not available on Federal or State Highways, but never says whether a city street inside Muscle Shoals, Sheffield or Tuscumbia counts as a County right of way, so whether a Tri-Cities address is served is not established. Not confirmed: No schedule and no booking rule are published: the page does not say whether a resident must call to request a pickup or simply set the item out, nor how often the trucks run. Not confirmed: No item limit is published, so whether a mattress and its box spring count as one item or two is not established.
