What Republic 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 of Republic, Missouri — a Greene County city, not the Republic Services waste company — runs no trash collection of its own, and its utility billing covers water and sewer only. Instead the city publishes a Local Utilities Directory of refuse removal providers that residents contract with themselves: Doty Trash Service, Home Town Disposal, Moore's Trash Service, Ozark Refuse, Patriot Disposal LLC, Queen City Disposal, Republic Services, Terry's Trash and Waste Corp. Republic Services is one of the nine haulers on that list, not the city's contractor. Source Not confirmed: the city publishes no hauler's bulky-item or mattress price and no city bulky program
- Republic's Chapter 235 Solid Waste no longer contains a collection program at all: Sections 235.040, 235.050, 235.060 and 235.080 are each marked "(Reserved)", leaving only definitions, the city yard wastes disposal site, container storage, prohibited practices and penalties. What survives, Section 235.030, requires containers for all solid waste "except bulky rubbish and demolition and construction waste", and sets no curbside set-out window. Section 235.070 makes it unlawful to "Dispose of solid waste at any facility or location which is not approved by the Missouri Division of Health" and to deposit waste in another person's container to avoid collection charges. Section 235.090 punishes any violation of the chapter with "a fine of not less than five dollars ($5.00) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00)", each day's violation a separate offense. Source
- The only disposal site the City of Republic operates is its yard wastes disposal site, and Section 235.020 confines it to yard waste: "Only yard wastes shall be allowed at the yard wastes disposal site and no yard wastes shall exceed six (6) inches in diameter or six (6) feet in length." Use "shall be limited to persons who own property in the City or residents of the City", and "Only yard wastes generated within the City shall be allowed". No commercial yard waste is accepted, and the Public Works Director may close the site at will. A mattress is not yard waste, so this site is no route for one. Source Not confirmed: the site's street address, hours and any disposal fee are left to the Public Works Director and are not published in the code
- The City of Republic's Recycling Centers & Services page lists area recycling contacts by telephone for Ash Grove, Bolivar/Humansville, Buffalo, Christian County, Fair Grove, Greene County, Marshfield, Nixa, Ozark, Seymour, Sparta, Springfield, Webster County and Willard, and gives street addresses only for three retail drop-offs: batteries at O'Reilly Auto Parts, 920 US Highway 60 East, Republic; oil at the Walmart Supercenter, 1150 US Highway 60 East, Republic; and electronics at the Computer Recycling Center, 528 N. Prince Lane, Springfield. It warns that "The businesses listed may have specific requirements or fees regarding the items they accept. Please call them first!" Mattresses appear nowhere on the list. That is an absence from the city's list, not a stated refusal. Source Not confirmed: the page names no mattress route, and the area recycling centers it lists are given as phone numbers with no addresses or terms
What Greene County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Republic and its neighbors.
- Greene County government has no solid waste function at all, despite containing Missouri's third city. Its Resource Management department — the department that would hold one — consists of four offices, and the county names them: Building Regulations, Planning and Zoning, Environmental Services and Building Operations. Nothing in the county's structure collects household waste, runs a disposal site or books a bulky-item pickup, and no county-wide clean-up day, amnesty or voucher is published anywhere on the county site. The disposal capacity inside Greene County is municipal, not county: the City of Springfield owns and runs Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at Willard and the Lone Pine Avenue and Franklin Avenue recycling centers, and those already carry the city's $20-per-piece mattress recycling program on this site. Readers in Republic, Willard and Battlefield are served by those city-owned sites on distance, not by any county program, because Greene County has none to offer them. Source
- Solid Waste Management District O lists Greene County's resources as a Recycling Center (Springfield), a Yardwaste Recycling Center (Brookline) and a Household Chemical Collection Center (Springfield) — all City of Springfield operations, with no county-owned site among them and no addresses, hours or fees given on the district page itself. The Missouri DNR register of permitted facilities shows two further active transfer stations inside Greene County that are not the city's: Waste Corporation of Missouri – Springfield Transfer Station at 2120 West Bennett Street, Springfield, operated by KRD Trucking and flagged as open to the public, and Springfield Relay Systems, Inc. Transfer Station at 2115 West Bennett Street, operated by Mr. Bult's, Inc. Neither publishes a rate card, a mattress line or self-haul terms of any kind on the operator's own pages, so neither meets the bar for listing and neither is recorded here. The Calhoun Transfer Station at 1321 W. Calhoun Street is Springfield City Utilities' own and is flagged not open to the public; the John Twitty Energy Center landfill is a utility waste landfill, also not open to the public. Source Not confirmed: Waste Corporation of Missouri's Springfield Transfer Station at 2120 West Bennett Street is registered with the state as open to the public but publishes no rates, no mattress line and no self-haul terms on any operator page, so what a household would pay there could not be established.
- The one Greene County office whose name suggests waste does not touch it. The Environmental division of Resource Management defines its whole remit in a single sentence: "The Environmental Division administers the County's Stormwater, sinkhole, erosion & sediment control, floodplain and on-site wastewater system regulations." Beyond that it "reviews proposed development plans and plats for compliance with environmental regulations, performs field inspections and provides information to developers, consultants and the general public regarding environmental issues". There is no solid waste, refuse, recycling, landfill or bulky-item function in that description, and no other Greene County office claims one. This closes the question for readers in Republic, Willard and Battlefield: the county is not an option for them, and the City of Springfield's sites are. Source
