• Fruitland, Idaho (Payette County; not Fruitland, Maryland, whose city site is cityoffruitland.com) does not collect its own trash; its city code grants an exclusive franchise to Hardin Sanitation, Inc. of Payette. Fruitland City Code 3-9B-1: "There is hereby granted and authorized by the city of Fruitland, Idaho ... to Hardin Sanitation, Inc., an Idaho corporation, whose principal place of business is Payette, Idaho ... the exclusive right, and privilege and authority to operate and maintain an exclusive franchise solid waste collection and transfer system". 3-9B-2 bars everyone else from hauling waste "from the residents or businesses of the city". Duration, 3-9B-3: "fifteen (15) years after the date it shall go into effect". Service, 3-9B-4: "Grantee shall provide weekly pick up service in residential areas". Cans, 3-9B-7: "Residential users shall be allowed to use at least three (3) 30-gallon cans (60 pound limit per can) per dwelling ... Grantee may charge additional service fees for volumes of solid waste in excess of this limit." Pick-up point, 3-9B-8: "Cans for pick up shall be placed at the edge of the street or alley by the owner or resident", and garbage "shall not be placed upon the ground in sacks, garbage bags, boxes or other containers, which containers are not capable of keeping animals from gaining access to the garbage". Fees, 3-9B-9: the three-can fee is a minimum and "A copy of the fee schedule is attached as exhibit A to ordinance 448". Source Not confirmed: The effective date of the fifteen-year franchise is not printed on the sections read, so whether it is still running was not established. Not confirmed: The fee schedule (Exhibit A to Ordinance 448) was not found, so no oversized-item or mattress fee is published for Fruitland. Not confirmed: A mattress, bulky items and clean-up terms are not mentioned in the franchise sections read. Not confirmed: No Fruitland-specific set-out clock time is in the franchise sections read.
• Fruitland City Code 3-9B-10 to 3-9B-12 finish the terms of the franchise: "Fees for residential and commercial customers are hereby established at the rate in effect at the time of adoption hereof. Any subsequent increase in rates shall be subject to city approval." (3-9B-10); "Grantee shall have the exclusive right for curbside recycling" (3-9B-11); and the grantee "shall have an office and telephone open from eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. to four o'clock (4:00) P.M. Monday through Friday" (3-9B-12). The code sets no separate fee for oversized items. Source Not confirmed: No approved rate table was found, so no price for anything is recorded.
• The City of Fruitland, Idaho's "Utilities - Water/Sewer" page prices water ($46.50 a month per ERU, including 6,000 gallons) and sewer ($37.80 a month), says utility bills go out on the first and are due on the 20th, and says nothing about garbage, trash collection, Hardin Sanitation, bulky items or a mattress. The City's navigation lists Water, Wastewater, Streets and Parks under Public Works and has no sanitation page. Source Not confirmed: The City publishes no garbage page, so the hauler, its fees and any large-item or clean-up service are not stated by the City itself.
• Hardin Sanitation's residential page says it "proudly provides top quality residential garbage removal in Payette, Canyon and Washington County, ID", describes a 95-gallon cart colored "Green - Payette Co", weekly Monday through Friday collection, and carts out by 6:00 am, and offers "special pickups of oversized items that will not fit in the container ... for a small additional fee" by phone (208-642-2629). Fruitland is in Payette County, but the page does not name Fruitland. Source Not confirmed: The page does not name Fruitland, so it does not by itself confirm that Hardin serves Fruitland today. Not confirmed: The oversized-item fee has no amount, and a mattress is not named, so no price and no service are recorded.
• Fruitland City Code Title 4, Chapter 1 "Nuisances", read on American Legal, is the local dumping rule. 4-1-2 declares nuisances: "(A) Accumulations of manure, rubbish or garbage which are breeding places for flies, mosquitoes or vermin", "(D) Filthy, littered or trash covered cellars, house yards ... vacant lots, houses, buildings or premises containing trash, litter, rags, old household appliances", and "(E) To throw, deposit or discard any bottles, cans or rubbish on any street, alley, parking lot or other public place within the corporate limits of the city."

Article A of the chapter also makes trash, trash, litter and debris on property or an abutting sidewalk or alley a nuisance (4-1A-1). Source Not confirmed: The dollar penalty in 1-4-1 was not read. Not confirmed: A mattress is not named; the closest words are "rubbish" and "old household appliances". Not confirmed: No set-out window, apartment or wrapping rule for Fruitland was found in the sections read.

• The Almo roll-off station is a real, separate district facility and the "Oakley Transfer Station Accepts" heading printed above its accepted-items list is a mislabelled panel, not a sign that the Almo card belongs to Oakley. The district's own FY-27 customer pricing enumerates the Cassia County sites by name as "Albion Oakley Malta Almo", giving each one its own rate table, and Almo's table is not a copy of Oakley's: where Albion, Oakley and Malta each show "Mixed Municipal Solid Waste No Charge" in county and a "Wood Waste No Charge" row, Almo's table shows "Mixed Municipal Solid Waste $12.00/CY" in county and carries no wood waste row at all. That matches the accepted list under the Almo card on the locations page, which lists municipal solid waste, mixed construction, demolition waste, freon-containing white goods, tires, scrap metal and batteries and omits the "Clean green wood waste" that the Oakley card's list includes - the two lists differ in exactly the way the two price tables differ. The Almo card also carries its own address, 2480 Almo/Elba Rd, its own telephone number, 208-638-5565, and hours of Thursday through Saturday 8:30am-5:30pm, all distinct from the Oakley card at 985 S Worthington with 208-539-0342. The panel headings are demonstrably unreliable on this page: the Albion and Oakley cards are both labeled "ROLL-OFF STATION" while their headings read "Albion Transfer Station" and "Oakley Transfer Station". So the identity is right and the heading is wrong, and the list under the Almo card is Almo's list. Source
• What the district actually lists, in full, is fourteen facilities: one landfill, nine transfer stations and four roll-off stations. Milner Butte Landfill, 1050 W 400 S Burley, 208-432-9082, Mon-Sat 8:00am-4:30pm. Nine transfer stations: Twin Falls, 2186 Orchard Dr E Twin Falls, 208-734-3139, Mon-Sat 7:30am-5:00pm; Jerome County, 1178 Highway 25 Jerome, 208-825-4150, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:30pm; Ohio Gulch, 110 Ohio Gulch Rd Hailey, 208-788-2351, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:00pm; Minidoka County, 325 N 400 W Rupert, 208-438-5593, Mon-Sat 7:30am-5:00pm; Gooding County, 2743 Highway 46 Wendell, 208-536-2181, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:30pm; Lincoln County, 120 N Highway 75 Shoshone, 208-731-8510, Mon-Sat 9:30am-5:30pm; West End, 4200 N 900 E Buhl, 208-543-4054, Mon-Sat 9:00am-5:00pm; Carey, 19299 US-20 Carey, 208-823-4308, Wed-Sat 8:00am-5:00pm; Hub Butte, 2900 N 2800 E Twin Falls, 208-734-5271, Mon-Fri 9:00am-5:00pm. Four roll-off stations: Oakley, 985 S Worthington Oakley, 208-539-0342; Albion, 760 S Highway 77 Albion, 208-673-6610; Malta, 2450 E 1760 S Malta, 208-645-2675; Almo, 2480 Almo/Elba Rd Almo, 208-638-5565. The FY-27 pricing schedule enumerates the same thirteen non-landfill sites independently, grouped by county - Twin Falls County: Twin Falls, Hub Butte, Buhl; Jerome; Blaine: Ohio Gulch, Carey; Minidoka; Gooding; Lincoln; Cassia: Albion, Oakley, Malta, Almo - plus Milner Butte. The whole site is thirty-six pages and holds no per-facility pages, so these two lists are the district's only enumerations and they agree exactly. Source
• District is a local-government unit for Blaine, Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln, Minidoka and Twin Falls. Overview claims one landfill plus fourteen transfer stations; the linked directory contains fourteen total facility cards. Source
• Idaho DEQ says it does not directly regulate recycling facilities and links a 'Contact County Solid Waste Departments' document for local options. No mattress content. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Idaho DEQ pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
• Every rate published by the Southern Idaho Solid Waste District - which is the disposal authority for Blaine, Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln, Minidoka and Twin Falls counties - comes from its FY-27 customer pricing schedule, and that schedule takes effect on October 1, 2026. It is the only schedule the district publishes: the preceding year's rates are not on its site, so there is no earlier figure to quote and no way to compare the two. A reader who checks a district price before October 1, 2026 is reading the incoming rate rather than the one in force that day, and should expect the published figure to be what they are charged from that date onward. The rates themselves are recorded against each county's own facilities. Source
