• Kimberly, Idaho contracts its curbside collection: 'Western Waste has been providing services to Kimberly since October 1, 2008. Each household is issued one 95 gallon residential garbage cart.' Collection is automated ('all waste must be placed in the provided container'), with East of Main Street on Mondays and West of Main Street on Wednesdays, carts out by 7:00 a.m. and holidays a day behind. The city's rate page says the utility bill 'combines water, sewer, and sanitation (limited trash) on one bill' and gives a residential sanitation rate of $11.71, which 'includes one 95 gallon cart from Western Waste. This is limited trash. All trash must be placed in the cart in order for pick up.' The city's attached Western Waste question-and-answer notice says extra waste needs another cart ordered from Western at 208-734-6969 and that Western 'will only be collecting tree limbs (no longer than 4 feet and under 65 pounds)' beside the cart. No bulky-item or mattress collection is published. Source Not confirmed: Neither the city page nor the Western Waste notice mentions mattresses, furniture or any bulky item, so no curbside route for one is established Not confirmed: The Western Waste notice on the city site dates from the 2008 start of service and may not describe current terms
• Kimberly, Idaho's code shuts furniture out of the collected waste and makes service compulsory. Section 8.08.010 defines 'RUBBISH' as waste such as paper, packing cases, clothing, cans and lawn and tree trimmings and adds 'The term shall not include discarded household furnishings or furniture, dirt, dead animals and building materials.' Section 8.08.100(A) requires every resident to 'use the city collection service or use the collection contractor employed by the city' and 8.08.100(B) has the charge billed 'monthly on the water service bill'; 8.08.090 leaves residential rates to city council resolution. Section 8.08.080 requires at least weekly garbage collection and 8.08.070 has containers placed at the street front, or the rear alley for listed town-site blocks. Section 8.08.120 sets the penalty for any violation at a fine 'not exceeding the sum allowed by state statute or imprisoned in the city jail not exceeding thirty (30) days or both'. The container rules in 8.08.020 describe 20 to 32 gallon metal cans and pre-date the wheeled carts. Source Not confirmed: The code never names a mattress; it excludes 'discarded household furnishings or furniture' from trash and does not say who then takes them Not confirmed: The code does not state a set-out hour; the 7:00 a.m. figure comes from the city's garbage page Not confirmed: The fine 'allowed by state statute' is not a figure the code states

• 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
