• Not an option: Rigby, Idaho's code bars a mattress from every city container by name. Section 4-5-22 says 'All garbage and refuse shall be placed in city refuse containers, except the following items, which are not allowed in any city container: grass cuttings, asphalt, automotive batteries, building materials, carpet, cement block, concrete, dead animals, lumber scraps, mattresses, metal, motor oil, pallets, tires, tree limbs over one inch diameter, tree stumps and white goods (stoves, fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc.)'. Section 4-5-12(A) adds that 'furniture' and similar material 'shall be collected and disposed of by the building contractor, person, owner, or occupant of the premises'. The city's Welcome Packet says 'Items such as construction debris, paints, furniture, appliances, etc. must be disposed of at the County Landfill', and 'DUMPSTERS ARE FOR HOUSEHOLD TRASH ONLY'. Source Not confirmed: The city publishes no curbside bulky-item or mattress collection; the code and Welcome Packet send disposal to the Jefferson County landfill Not confirmed: The Welcome Packet's furniture line does not name a mattress; the mattress refusal is in the code
• Rigby, Idaho provides garbage service through the city utility account: 'The City of Rigby provides culinary water, sanitary sewer, and garbage services to residents within the City's corporate limits.' The Welcome Packet (dated 6/4/2025) says residential utilities 'include water, sewer, garbage and a sewer bond' at 'currently $130.00 per month', with a $260.00 deposit; garbage is 'picked up once per week', dumpsters go 'to the curb by 7am' and 'There is an extra fee if the truck needs to come back to your location for any reason'. Its placement sheet says cans go 'a minimum of four (4) feet from other cans, cars, and other obstacles, and at least one (1) foot away from the curb' and 'DO NOT place other garbage, trash, or lawn debris around the container'. The city's Master Fee List (4-9-1) prints garbage rates such as a 90-gallon container at a '$7.75' base monthly rate, and 4-5-11 puts containers 'at the street curb ... on the morning of the day scheduled for collection'. Nothing there offers a bulky-item pickup. Source Not confirmed: The city's own pages do not name the truck operator; the 2021 contract with Eagle Rock Sanitation was found only in press reports and council records, not on a primary city service page Not confirmed: The $130.00 monthly figure bundles water, sewer, garbage and a sewer bond, so it is not a garbage price; the garbage-only rate on the Master Fee List ($7.75 base, Ordinance 2023-635) may not match current billing Not confirmed: The extra return-trip fee is set by the Master Fee List and its amount was not found
• Rigby, Idaho's code sets the penalty for the rules above. Section 4-5-28(B) says a person violating sections 4-05-040 through 4-05-080 'shall be guilty of an infraction and assessed a civil penalty of not less than fifty dollars nor more than one thousand dollars for each offense, and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues', and 4-5-28(A) sets a civil penalty of 'not less than $300.00 nor more than $1,000.00 plus court costs' for the offense it cites as 4-05-230, split between the person reporting the offender, the container's owner and the city. Section 4-5-21 (unauthorized depositing) bars anyone from depositing 'any litter, refuse or garbage' in or around another person's container 'without the containers owner's consent', and 4-5-24 makes it unlawful to 'dump or in any manner dispose of solid waste upon any street, alley, public place or private property owned by another person'. Section 4-5-23 has a blocked container left undumped with 'an additional minimum fee' per the Master Fee List. Source Not confirmed: Section 4-5-28 cites section numbers in a different format (4-05-040 to 4-05-080, 4-05-230) from the chapter's 4-5-x numbering; which sections it reaches is not certain Not confirmed: A mattress-specific dumping penalty is not stated; the general penalties above apply to refuse

• 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

• 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
