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

• There is no permitted municipal solid waste landfill in Macon County and the county publishes no drop-off of its own. ADEM's Permitted Municipal Solid Waste Landfills list, revised November 24, 2021, has no Macon County section — the register runs county by county and this county has no entry, so no site in it is permitted to receive household waste. Nor does the county government publish a landfill, transfer station, convenience center, clean-up day or citizens' drop-off anywhere on its site: its Services index runs Golden Eagle Aviation, Compliance Office, Economic Development, EMA, Finance, Fire, Human Resources, Probate Court, Licenses, Road & Bridge, Senior Program, Sheriff, Social Services, Transportation and Utilities, with no solid waste entry. A household in this county that the Compliance Office has approved "to dispose of their own trash" is given no county destination for it. Tuskegee is a university town and that produced no mattress route here either. Source Not confirmed: Where Macon County's collected household waste is taken is not published by the county or by its hauler. Not confirmed: The county does not state in its own words that it runs no drop-off; that is established by the absence of one across its site and its absence from ADEM's register.
• Macon County enforces household trash as an ordinance matter across its whole jurisdiction, and lets a household opt out and haul its own — but publishes no collection terms, no rate and no bulky route. The Macon County Compliance Office, "213B North Main Street, Tuskegee, AL 36083", 334.724.2554, open "8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday", "enforces Macon County ordinances that concern safety and quality of life", and the list of what it monitors includes "Solid Waste/Trash Cans" alongside animal control, criminal littering, noise and public nuisances. "Responsible for Macon County's entire jurisdiction, the Macon County Compliance Office looks for violations and issues citations". On opting out and on cost relief it says: "The first Monday in November through the first week in December is the signup period for trash exemption (for limited income/ Social Security recipients). Approvals must be made directly through the Macon County Commission for citizens who opt to dispose of their own trash." That is the county's whole published position on household waste — an enforcement role, an exemption window and a self-haul approval route, with no service, no schedule, no price and no drop-off named. This is Macon County, ALABAMA, whose seat is Tuskegee, not Macon-Bibb County, Georgia. Source Not confirmed: The county does not name its residential hauler, publish a monthly rate, or publish a collection schedule anywhere on its site. Not confirmed: No bulky-item or large-item collection is published, and a mattress is nowhere named. Not confirmed: A household approved to "dispose of their own trash" is not told where to take it; the county publishes no drop-off site. Not confirmed: The county's Utilities page lists only water authorities, so there is no solid waste department page to check against.
• The hauler that serves Macon County households says so on its own site and publishes nothing else a reader can use. 121 Disposal Co. states under "Service Areas for Residential Waste": "We provide our residential waste services to customers in Coosa, Macon, and Randoph county." Its residential page gives a holiday schedule — New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, with collection "picked up one day later that week" when the holiday falls on or before your day — a missed-pickup report form, and an invitation to "Give us a call and let us help design the most cost-effective plan for you". There is no rate, no cart rule, no accepted-materials list and no bulky-item provision. Notably, the company's own sign-up button on its locations page reads "Sign Up for Residential Services for Coosa or Randolph County", which does not include Macon. Source Not confirmed: No price is published for residential service in Macon County; the page asks the reader to call for a plan, which is not a published term. Not confirmed: No bulky-item, large-item or extra-pickup service is published, and a mattress is nowhere named. Not confirmed: Whether 121 Disposal holds a county contract or sells subscriptions household by household is not stated, and the company's own sign-up route names only Coosa and Randolph counties.
• Macon County has no mattress recycler and no county recycling program. Alabama is not one of the Mattress Recycling Council's four program states — "California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island" — so no stewardship-funded collection site exists anywhere in the state. The county's own published solid waste role is enforcement and exemptions through the Compliance Office, which monitors "Solid Waste/Trash Cans" for violations; no recycling program, recycler or drop-off appears anywhere on the county's site, and ADEM's landfill register gives the county no entry at all. Source Not confirmed: No facility in or serving Macon County publishes terms for recycling a mattress; this is an absence of published evidence rather than a stated refusal.
