City of St. Robert bulky trash collection on request (no published terms)
Residential premises inside the corporate limits of St. Robert that receive the city's garbage collection; the city states it "operates the electric, natural gas, water, sewer, and garbage collection services for the City of St. Robert."
Conditions and source
Section 220.030(D) of the city code: "Bulky rubbish shall be collected upon request being made to the Director. The Director shall establish the procedure for collecting bulky rubbish." The Director is the Director of Public Works. Section 220.030(B) adds that bulky trash "will be collected if tied securely in bundles not exceeding reasonable limitations of weight and bulk to be fixed by regulations" made by the Director. Nothing may be placed at the curb or alley until the regularly scheduled collection day (Section 220.030(C)). Section 220.080 leaves the amount of the residential service charge to a separate ordinance of the Board of Aldermen.
Not confirmed: No fee for a bulky trash collection is published anywhere by the city, and the code sets none; the collection is mandated and the charge is not, so it must not be read as free
Not confirmed: The Director's procedure for making the request is not published
Not confirmed: The weight and bulk limits for a bundle are left to regulations that are not published
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named in Chapter 220

What Pulaski County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across St. Robert and its neighbors.
- Pulaski County, Missouri runs no solid waste service of any kind. The county's own website at 301 Historic Rt. 66 E., Waynesville, carries the whole of its public offering in its navigation: Home, Offices, Courts, Contact, Elections, Bid Packets, Courthouse Closures and ARPA Fund. There is no sanitation or solid waste department, no county drop-off, no transfer station, no bulky item collection, no free dump day and no recycling program. Everything a Pulaski County household can do with a mattress is run by a city — chiefly the City of St. Robert's transfer station — or by a private subscription hauler. Source Not confirmed: Fort Leonard Wood sits between St. Robert and Waynesville, and a military installation's own waste arrangements are not a public option. No base service was recorded and none was sought.
- Not an option: The "Regional Recycling & Waste Reduction District", which describes itself as "Promoting recycling and waste reduction in partnership with Pulaski County residents and businesses" and which ranks for Pulaski County, Missouri searches, is in Arkansas. The page's own address is "1501 N University Ave | Little Rock, AR 72207", and the Pulaski County it serves is the Arkansas one. Its five Green Station drop-off centers, which take electronics, plastic bags, glass, aerosols, bulbs, batteries and household hazardous waste and no bedding of any kind, are Arkansas facilities and must not be shown to a St. Robert or Waynesville reader. The same trap runs the other way for household collection: pulaskicounty.net, which publishes a WM contract at $29.69 a month with two bulk item pickups a year, is also Pulaski County, Arkansas, and pulaskigov.com is Pulaski County, Virginia.
