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

• McDonough County government has no waste function at all. Its courthouse directory — the county's whole published list of offices — runs HR/Payroll, Assessor, Circuit Clerk, County Board, County Clerk-Recorder, County Treasurer, Elections-Voter Registration, Maintenance, Probation, Public Defender, States Attorney and Veterans Assistance, at #1 Courthouse Square, Macomb, IL 61455, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is no solid waste department, no health department listing of its own, no recycling coordinator and no landfill office. The county runs no bulky-item collection and offers no voucher, amnesty or clean-up day. Everything a Macomb resident can be told at county level comes from two bodies that are not the county: the Western Illinois Regional Council's Tri-County collection facility, and the Waste Management landfill east of town. Source Not confirmed: No county collection, drop-off, voucher or clean-up program is published; the county's site carries a directory and little else.
• The landfill that serves Macomb is WM's, and WM publishes its gate and not its prices. The company's own facility page for “Envirofil of IL Landfill” gives the address as “13998 E. 1400th St. Macomb, IL 61455” and hours of Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed on weekends. Its accepted non-hazardous streams are listed as asbestos both friable and non-friable, construction and demolition debris, municipal solid waste, clean soils and contaminated non-hazardous soils, together with biosolids and industrial sludges; the page states the facility “does not accept hazardous waste”, and adds that “Select waste streams must be scheduled with the receiving facility”. Municipal solid waste being accepted is as close as the page comes to a mattress. No rate card, no minimum charge, no per-item fee and no residency or account rule is published, and the page is written for waste-brokerage customers rather than for a household arriving with a pickup truck. Under this site's standard that is not enough to send a reader there as a priced option — it is the nearest hole in the ground to Macomb, and what it would charge a resident is unknown. Source Not confirmed: No published price, minimum charge or rate card of any kind. Not confirmed: No statement that the site takes household self-haul loads, and no statement that it does not. Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named, accepted or refused.
• Illinois EPA confirms that the Macomb landfill is McDonough County's own and identifies its parent. The Region Three volume of the agency's landfill capacity series records “Envirofil of Illinois Inc. — County McDonough, Municipality Macomb, Location 13998 E. 1400th St.” at 309-836-2728, with both owner and operator given as “Envirofil of Illinois Inc., 13998 E. 1400th St., Macomb, IL 61455” and the footnote “A subsidiary of Waste Management Inc. Midwest, 1001 Fannin, Suite 4000, Houston, TX 77002… Regional Office: Waste Management of Illinois Inc., 720 E. Butterfield, Lombard, IL 60148”. The site opened in 1974 and was permitted at that point to 2105. Illinois EPA's July 2025 report still lists Envirofil of Illinois Inc. among the seven active Region 3 landfills, with 17,988,221 cubic yards of remaining capacity and 164,307 cubic yards taken in 2024 — a low intake for a site of that size, and a reminder that it is a disposal contract facility rather than a public convenience center. Source Not confirmed: County attribution and ownership are from the 2012 edition; the 2025 report confirms the site is still active but prints no county, address or fee.
• Not an option: The one free, county-layer recycling facility in western Illinois sits in Macomb, and it is closed to mattresses by design. The Western Illinois Regional Council runs the Tri-County Collection Facility at “129 West Jackson Street in Macomb, Illinois. The entrance is on the south side of the building and is accessed through the parking lot off West Washington Street”, open “from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of each month (excluding federal holidays)”. Cost: “Residential drop-off is free of charge. There is a small charge for pickup of items at both residential and business properties. Businesses have a 50 cents per pound charge, regardless of pickup or drop-off.” The scope is stated as a closed list — “We will gladly accept any of the items listed below for recycling (with an inspection)” — covering electronics (laptops and desktop computers, computer parts, TVs, cell phones, cables, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, zip drives, copiers, radios, clocks, cameras, power tools, keyboards, microwaves) and paints (interior and exterior latex, alkyd enamel and oil-based paints, porch, floor and deck paints, oil and latex primers and undercoats, interior and exterior varnishes, and urethane). The refusals are dehumidifiers, water coolers, batteries of any kind, light bulbs, scrap metal, sharps, medications, air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves, washers or dryers, dishwashers and ovens. Drop-off is supervised: “IT'S THE LAW – A team member must inspect all of the items you are turning in”, and items left outside hours “cannot be accepted and are considered illegal, subject to appropriate fines by the State of Illinois”. On who it serves, the council states that it “represents and meets the solid waste management needs of incorporated and unincorporated communities in McDonough, Mercer, and Warren counties” — incorporated towns included, unusually for a county-layer program. It also runs clean-up days: “Certain times during the year, Tri-County facilitates township-wide cleanup days to prevent illegal dumping in the western Illinois counties of McDonough, Mercer and Warren. Team members work to separate paint and electronics at these special events.” Source Not confirmed: The township-wide clean-up days are announced without dates, locations or an accepted-items list anywhere on WIRC's site, so whether a mattress could go to one is unknown. Not confirmed: The facility's accepted list is electronics and paint only; bedding and furniture appear on neither the accepted nor the refused list.
• Not an option: Macomb is a university town and Western Illinois University does run a move-out donation drive — and, as at every university town checked so far, it stops short of mattresses. WIU's news release on the program records that University Housing and Dining Services partnered with Goodwill of Macomb during residence hall move-out to cut campus waste. Students “may donate items either by dropping them off at Goodwill of Macomb or by placing them in a designated collection area in the residence halls”, with on-campus points “in the lobbies of Thompson, Corbin-Olson and Grote Halls” and “items collected by Goodwill on Tuesdays and Thursdays”. The accepted list is given in full as “new or gently used furniture, household items, microwaves, small appliances, kitchen and bathroom items (towels), good and clean clothing and accessories and blankets and comforters”. Blankets and comforters are named; mattresses are not, and nor are the mattress toppers and bed frames that fill a hall of residence in May. Goodwill of Macomb is at 1522 E. Carroll St., Macomb, IL 61455, open 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, at (309) 421-0595. In 2025 the drive filled 48 bins and diverted 4.39 tons. A student leaving Macomb with a mattress is not served by it. Source Not confirmed: The release gives no refusal list, so the exclusion of mattresses is read from an accepted list that names bedding down to blankets and comforters but not a mattress. Goodwill of Macomb publishes no mattress policy of its own that could be read here. Not confirmed: The drive is tied to spring residence hall move-out; no dates for a future year are published.
