2City curbside pickup in Macon
Macon’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 Macon weekly Bulk Waste collection (Waste Management under city contract)
Residential Premises inside the Macon city limits, all of which are billed for trash through the monthly city utility bill. The contract gives one Bulk Waste item per week to the Residential Premises that generated it, collected at the curb on the same day as that address's scheduled residential solid waste collection.
Conditions and source
One Bulk Waste item a week is collected at the curb on the household's normal trash day under the city's contract with Waste Management, and no separate charge is set for it. Collection hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and receptacles must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the day of service; routes run a day late after New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The booking has moved away from the city: City Hall no longer schedules bulk items and the resident contacts WM at (866) 909-4458 or through wm.com/muni. Waste Management is not required to collect an item that was not placed at the curb in time. White goods are handled separately and priced: $20.00 for an appliance without Freon and $25.00 with Freon, scheduled through City Hall, the appliance emptied of food and liquids, CFCs and PCBs evacuated by a certified technician and freezer and refrigerator doors removed — those fees are for appliances only and do not apply to a mattress.
Not confirmed: Neither city page names a mattress as a Bulk Waste item or excludes one.
Not confirmed: No separate charge for the weekly bulk item is published and the city does not call it free; the monthly utility trash charge itself is not published.
Not confirmed: No size or weight limit is stated for a Bulk Waste item, and nothing says whether a mattress and a box spring count as one item or two.
Not confirmed: Nothing states what Waste Management does with a collected mattress, so the outcome is unknown.

City of Macon, Missouri - Trash Services (WM collection and Maple Hill Landfill)
Fee not published
Visit siteCity of Macon weekly bulk item allowance (WM collection, city limits only)
Households inside the Macon city limits only: 'The City of Macon is serviced by Waste Management. All residents within city limits are billed for trash through their monthly utility bill.' It reaches no household elsewhere in Macon County.
Conditions and source
Collection runs 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday with carts out by 6 a.m., and routes shift a day after an observed WM holiday. On bulky items the city says 'Citizens are allowed one bulk item per week. City Hall no longer schedules bulk items. You will need to contact WM at (866) 909-4458 or visit their website at www.wm.com/muni.' The allowance is one item a week and no charge for it is published. WM observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. A mattress is named nowhere on the page.
Not confirmed: The city publishes no list of what counts as a bulk item, so whether a mattress qualifies for the weekly allowance is unestablished
Not confirmed: No price is published for a second bulk item in the same week

3Drop-off options near Macon
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Macon. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Cheapest
Maple Hill Landfill free Bulk Waste drop-off for Macon city residents (utility bill and driver's license)
Residential Premises of the City of Macon only. The city states that Residential Premises may bring Bulk Waste directly to the landfill for disposal at no charge 'by providing the most recent utility bill displaying Residential Premises services fees as well as a current Driver's License'. Because the residential service fee is billed only to premises inside the city limits, a household elsewhere in Macon County cannot satisfy the proof and does not qualify.
Conditions and source
Bring the most recent city utility bill showing the Residential Premises service fees together with a current driving license, and the Bulk Waste is taken at no charge. The site is the Maple Hill Landfill, 31226 Intrepid Road, Macon, MO 63552, a sanitary landfill operated by Waste Management, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The city does not run the site — 'City Hall does not oversee the Maple Hill Landfill. You will need to contact Waste Management for any information in regard to the landfill' — and WM is reachable at (866) 909-4458. White goods brought to the landfill are also exempt from the associated disposal fees; a white-good collection, as opposed to a drop-off, must be scheduled through City Hall.
Not confirmed: The page does not define Bulk Waste or name a mattress, so a mattress qualifies under the general term rather than by the city naming it.
Not confirmed: No load size, volume limit or limit on how often the concession may be used is stated.
Not confirmed: Waste Management publishes no gate page for Maple Hill Landfill, so the rate a non-qualifying visitor would pay is unknown.
Not confirmed: Nothing states whether protective equipment — hard hat, high-visibility vest or closed-toe shoes — is required at the tipping face.

What Macon County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Macon and its neighbors.
- Macon County, Missouri publishes nothing on solid waste. Its official county website, for the county seated at 101 E Washington Street, Macon, Missouri 63552, lists County Assessor, County Clerk, County Collector, County Commission, County Treasurer, Circuit Clerk, Circuit Court, Juvenile Office, Prosecutor, Public Administrator, Recorder of Deeds, Road and Bridge, Sheriff and Macon County Park and Facilities. Road and Bridge maintains roads; no sanitation, solid waste or recycling function exists. No county collection, county drop-off, voucher, free dump day or clean-up event is published, and no arrangement is stated for residents of unincorporated areas. Source
- No mattress recycling exists in Macon County. The Mattress Recycling Council states that 'We operate recycling programs in states that have enacted mattress recycling laws' and lists only California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Missouri has enacted no such law, so there is no free stewardship-funded drop-off in the county, and the sanitary landfill at Macon buries what it receives. Source Not confirmed: No dedicated mattress recycler was found in Macon County
- The only bulky collection in Macon County reaches city utility customers alone. The City of Macon states that 'The City of Macon is serviced by Waste Management.

On bulky items it says 'Citizens are allowed one bulk item per week. City Hall no longer schedules bulk items. You will need to contact WM at (866) 909-4458 or visit their website at www.wm.com/muni.' The allowance is one item a week, it belongs to households inside the city limits that are billed for trash, and no charge is published for it. A mattress is named nowhere on the page, neither as a bulk item that qualifies nor among anything excluded. Source Not confirmed: The city publishes no list of what counts as a bulk item, so whether a mattress qualifies for the weekly allowance is unestablished Not confirmed: No charge is published for a bulk item beyond the weekly allowance
