• Maryville publishes less about bulky waste than any of its Madison County neighbors, and the honest answer is that the village states no mattress terms at all. The village's Refuse & Recycling Collection page says only that "The Village of Maryville contracts with Republic Services, a private trash hauler, to operate in the Village limits", that "The contract includes recycling service", that yard waste pickup is an optional add-on, and that residents arrange service by calling Republic Services at (618) 656-6883. The page carries a recyclables list and a note that Republic "cannot collect electronics" because of Illinois landfill rules, with a list of certified e-waste collectors. Nowhere does the village publish a bulk or large-item allowance, a per-item fee, a spring or fall clean-up week, a set-out window or any rule about mattresses - unlike Edwardsville (four free large item pickups a year, mattress sets named) and Collinsville, which are served by the same hauler. Whatever Maryville households get for a mattress is settled between the resident and Republic on the phone and is not published by the village. Source Not confirmed: The Village of Maryville publishes no bulk or large-item allowance, no per-item fee and no mattress rule; the number of free large item pickups its Republic Services contract carries, if any, could not be established from a published source. Not confirmed: No village set-out window, wrapping rule or illegal-dumping penalty for bulky items was found; Maryville's code is carried by American Legal Publishing, whose code library returned HTTP 403 to automated retrieval, and no chapter could be read. Not confirmed: No township-run bulk collection covering Maryville was found. Maryville lies in Collinsville Township, whose services could not be established from a published page.

• There is no state mattress recycling program in Illinois, and the absence is worth stating plainly because the four states that have one give residents free drop-off. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, lists its programs on its own Programs page as operating in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island. Illinois is not among them. Three things follow for an Illinois resident: no recycling fee is charged on an Illinois mattress sale, there is no MRC-funded free drop-off anywhere in the state, and nothing obliges a retailer, hauler or municipality to recycle a mattress rather than landfill it. Recycling in Illinois is therefore a private arrangement wherever it exists at all — the drop-offs and recyclers listed on this page are businesses and charities choosing to do it, not a program a resident is entitled to.
