Monmouth households on the city's contracted collection: "As of May 1st, 2022, Lakeshore Recycling contracts with the City of Monmouth for weekly solid waste pickup." "Garbage should be at the curb on your garbage day by 6 a.m. (You may put garbage out the night before.)"

What Monmouth itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- The city's Trash Pick-Up department publishes three documents and no prose. The Pickup Schedules and Holidays page lists, as attachments, "2025_holiday_service_schedule.docx", "2025_free_bulk_item_wk_monmouth.docx" and "recycling_calendar_2025.xlsx". The middle document is where Monmouth's bulk answer lives: the city's contracted collection includes a free bulk item week, published as a calendar rather than as a rule. Source Not confirmed: Only 2025 versions of the three schedules are published; no 2026 calendar had been posted when checked.
What Warren County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Monmouth and its neighbors.
- No active permitted landfill lies in Warren County. Illinois EPA's July 2025 Landfill Capacity Report names the seven that reported capacity in Region 3, the region that contains Warren County — Eco Hill, Envirofil of Illinois Inc., Indian Creek Landfill No. 2, Knox County Landfill #3, Peoria City/County Landfill #2, Quad Cities Landfill Phase IV and Upper Rock Island County Landfill — and the Region Three volume of the same series places them in Peoria, McDonough, Tazewell, Knox, Peoria, Rock Island and Rock Island counties respectively. The nearest of them to Monmouth that publishes a household rate is Knox County's landfill at Oneida, whose rate card carries an Out of County residential figure. Warren County's own transfer station at Monmouth moves waste out of the county rather than burying it, and publishes nothing. Source Not confirmed: Driving distances were not measured here; county attributions are from the 2012 Region Three volume.
- Warren County government runs nothing of its own on waste and says so by omission: the single entry under waste on the county's Resources page is a pointer outward — “Tri-County Resource & Waste Management Council — The Tri-County Resource & Waste Management Council provides recycling assistance, guidance, and education for McDonough, Mercer, and Warren Counties”, linking to the Western Illinois Regional Council. There is no county solid waste department, no county bulky-item collection, no county drop-off site, no clean-up or amnesty day and no fee schedule published anywhere on the county site. For a Monmouth resident the county layer offers assistance, guidance and education, and no place to put a mattress. Source Not confirmed: No county-run collection or facility is published; the county's waste provision is delegated to a regional council whose own remit is electronics and paint.
- Not an option: Warren County's one published drop-off is at the Monmouth transfer station and takes electronics and paint only. Western Illinois Regional Council's list of community drop-off locations reads: “Warren County: Monmouth: Report to Monmouth Transfer Station office (South 11th St) for drop-off instructions, or call 309-734-2515. You can drop off items Saturdays 8:00 am to noon.” The accepted lists are closed ones — computers, laptops, computer parts and cables, televisions, printers, cell phones, game consoles, DVD/Blu-Ray players, hard drives, copiers, radios, clocks, cameras, microwaves, bagless vacuum cleaners, phones, power tools, portable battery tools and keyboards; interior and exterior latex, alkyd enamel, oil-based paint, porch, floor and deck paint, oil and latex primers, interior and exterior varnish and urethane — and the refusals are appliances of every kind, batteries, light bulbs, scrap metal, aerosols, solvents, medical waste and medications. A mattress belongs to none of it. The arrangement is useful to a Monmouth reader chiefly as a warning: the one Saturday-morning drop-off the county advertises will not take bedding. Source Not confirmed: WIRC gives the Monmouth transfer station office as “South 11th St” without a number; the operator LRS no longer serves a page for the site — its facility, store and location URLs for Monmouth all redirect to the company home page — so no address, gate hours, tipping rate or acceptance policy for the transfer station itself could be read from a primary source. Not confirmed: Whether the Monmouth transfer station takes household self-haul waste, and at what price, is not published.
Illinois mattress disposal rules
- Residential body says Saturday 8–2; same-page footer says 9–1. Both show weekdays 8–4. No Saturday schedule selected. Source
- Locator retains Landfill 33 Saturday 7 a.m.–11 p.m. exactly as printed; implausible closing time requires confirmation. Two Columbus District Office cards are distinct OH and IN addresses, not duplicates. Source
- Illinois EPA recycling page offers a 'Beyond The Bin' ArcGIS map of recycling locations, an Earth911 ZIP locator and the Recycle Coach app (statewide partnership since 2025). No mattress stewardship program mentioned. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Illinois EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
- 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.
