• In Hailey, Idaho a private hauler collects. The city's waste page says 'Hailey's waste hauler is Clear Creek Disposal. Clear Creek picks up curbside waste and recycling every week. Did you know you can save money by downsizing your cart? Call 208-726-9600', and that 'All of Hailey's waste is brought to the Ohio Gulch Transfer Station, and then trucked to the Milner Butte Landfill in Burley' (operated by Southern Idaho Solid Waste). The page does not mention a mattress, a bulky-item pickup or a city clean-up. Source Not confirmed: The city's waste page does not mention mattresses, furniture or a bulky-item pickup Not confirmed: No Hailey franchise or collection ordinance was found in the city code's Title 13 chapter list, so the terms of the city's arrangement with Clear Creek are not published
• Hailey, Idaho's code names mattresses in its nuisance rules. Section 8.04.020 defines 'JUNK' to include 'plastics, glass, paper, cardboard, rubber, lumber, wood (excepting stacked firewood), mattresses, disabled trailers or parts thereof', where they are discarded, unusable, broken or unused for six months. Section 8.04.030(L) makes a nuisance of 'Visible vehicle tires not mounted on a vehicle, vehicle bodies or parts, bed mattresses or springs, water heaters or other large household appliances'. Section 8.04.090 makes any violation 'a misdemeanor' punishable by a fine of 'not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or imprisoned in the county jail for a period of not more than six (6) months, or by both', with civil abatement also open to the city. The chapter is about accumulation on premises; it sets no collection rule. Source Not confirmed: The code sections read set no set-out window, wrapping rule or allowance for a mattress at the curb Not confirmed: The 8.04.030(L) wording covers mattresses 'visible' from a public place or adjacent property, which is narrower than every mattress on a property

Source Not confirmed: 'Appliance Removal' is listed without terms or price, and no mattress or furniture pickup is mentioned Not confirmed: The hauler's page does not say who sets the cart rates, the city or the company

• 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

Milner Butte Landfill, 1050 W 400 S Burley, 208-432-9082, Mon-Sat 8:00am-4:30pm.

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

• 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.

• 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
