2City curbside pickup in Caruthersville
Caruthersville’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Caruthersville bulky trash collection by request (no charge is published for it)
'Bulky rubbish collection is intended for periodic use by residents and light commercial customers.' Light commercial means a generator producing waste comparable in quantity to a single-family residence, as designated by the Director; multiple housing of more than six dwelling units is commercial and outside the residential program.
Conditions and source
Sec. 230.051(D) of the Refuse Ordinance: 'Bulky rubbish may be scheduled for collection by request to the Street Commissioner.' Timing is at the Street Commissioner's discretion — 'Bulky rubbish shall be collected at the time specified by the Street Commissioner after receiving a request for such collection or as necessary.' A mattress is bulky trash under the chapter's definition and is not caught by the 'excluded waste' list, which covers commercial waste, compost, demolition and construction waste, hazardous waste, stable matter, special waste, yard waste, vegetable waste, lead acid batteries, tires, rocks, sod, cement, dirt, stumps and logs. The service is not intended for large amounts of demolition or construction waste, which remain the property owner's responsibility. Nothing may be placed at the curb on a day other than the scheduled collection day, and containers must be removed the same day; violations carry 'a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment in the County Jail not exceeding ninety (90) days, or by both', with every day a separate offense. Weekly cart collection is run under contract by Branum Disposal Service, 573-888-3443, but a bulky request goes to the City's Street Commissioner.
Not confirmed: The City's own fee schedule in Sec. 230.054 prices residential service, light commercial service and every size of commercial dumpster, and sets no bulky-trash charge at all. The ordinance commits the City to the collection and never says what it costs; it must not be presented as free.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named anywhere in the chapter.
Not confirmed: No item limit, notice period or set-out time is published for a bulky request.
Not confirmed: The published residential monthly rate of $25.00 dates from 2020 and escalates 2.5% each October 1 without the current figure being published.

Pemiscot County Transfer Station self-haul disposal (no price published; page is stale)
Repurpose, LLC publishes no eligibility rule of any kind for the site: no residency requirement, no account requirement and no statement that the public may use it. Despite its name the station is privately operated and is not a Pemiscot County facility.
The last date published for this was Jan 1, 2024, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
At 55 County Rd 412, Bragg City, MO, telephone 731-264-5316, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The drop-off list covers municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, industrial wastes, bulky waste 'such as ovens, stoves and even refrigerators and air-conditioning units if the compressors have been properly removed prior to disposal', landscaping and land clearing wastes, tires and special wastes; the special-waste definition is written around approval by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, so that list is the company's Tennessee landfill's rather than this Missouri site's. Waste goes to the company's landfill at Obion, Tennessee, so a mattress is buried out of state. The page carries a 2023 copyright and its only holiday closures are December 25, 2023 and January 1, 2024.
Not confirmed: No fee of any kind is published for this site
Not confirmed: No eligibility rule is published; whether a household may self-haul here is unestablished
Not confirmed: A mattress is not named; the bulky-waste examples are appliances only
Not confirmed: The address as printed carries a ZIP code that is not Bragg City's, and the hours come from a page last dated 2023

What Pemiscot County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Caruthersville and its neighbors.
- Pemiscot County government provides no waste service despite the transfer station bearing the county's name. The county's official website lists Road & Bridge, Emergency Management and Public Administrator among its departments and none of them covers waste management, recycling or transfer station operations. No county collection route, drop-off, voucher, free dump day or clean-up event is published anywhere on the site, and nothing states any arrangement for residents of unincorporated areas. Source
- Pemiscot County belongs to District S, the Bootheel Solid Waste Management District, covering 'Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Scott and Stoddard counties' and administered from the Bootheel Regional Planning Commission at 105 E. North Main, Dexter, MO 63841. The district runs no facility and publishes no drop-off, collection or recycling program of its own, referring residents to the Missouri Materials Management Directory. No mattress recycler serves the county and Missouri has no statewide mattress program. Source Not confirmed: No mattress recycler was found in Pemiscot County
