• Huron County, Ohio has no active landfill, and the transfer station its Solid Waste Management District runs publishes no mattress policy at all. The district's own history is that the former Huron County Landfill "ceased landfill operations" in the late 1990s and the site has operated as a transfer station since. It is at 2415 Townline Rd. 131, Willard, OH, phone 419-744-2413, open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and it will "Only Accept Cash, Check, or Punch Card." The published price list is a total gate fee of $65.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum waste charge for 625 pounds or less, built from a $4.50 per ton district generation fee, a $4.75 per ton Ohio EPA fee and a $0.25 per ton township fee; yard waste is $30.00 per ton with a $7.50 minimum under 500 pounds; an untarped or unsecured load adds $10.00; car and lawn mower batteries are free if kept separate; tires run $4.00 for a lawn mower or car tire under 15 inches, $6.00 for a truck tire 16 to 20 inches and $15.00 for a semi tire; and Freon appliances — refrigerators, dehumidifiers, air conditioners and freezers — are $20.00 each. The materials the district lists as accepted are appliances, asphalt shingles, brick and block, concrete, construction and demolition debris, fill dirt, pallets, rock and stone, scrap metal, tires, yard waste, car and lawn mower batteries, and separated cardboard, magazines, newspaper, office paper and paperboard. A mattress, box spring or bedding appears nowhere on that list and nowhere in the price list, and the district publishes no mattress fee, so no mattress drop-off is established in Huron County. Source Not confirmed: The district publishes no list of items it refuses and no mattress fee, so whether the Willard transfer station will take a mattress — and at what price — is not established and would have to be settled by asking the district at 419-663-8059 or the scale house at 419-744-2413. Not confirmed: No residency rule is published for the transfer station, so whether people from outside Huron County may use it is unknown.
• Huron County, Ohio publishes no county bulky item collection and no county curbside pickup, so no county program collects a mattress from a household anywhere in the county. The Solid Waste Management District describes itself as serving "Huron County residents and commercial businesses" and its whole site is six pages — Home, About Us, Recycled Materials, Recycling Tips, Drop Off Locations, Transfer Station and Contact — with no collection program among them, no large item program, and no eligibility rule, allowance or fee to record. Whatever route a Huron County household has for a mattress at the curb is set by its own city, village or township: Norwalk and Willard each on its own, and those municipal programs are not recorded here because they belong on the city pages. Source Not confirmed: Whether Norwalk or Willard runs a bulky item collection was not established at the county level and is left to the city pass.
• Not an option: The Huron County Solid Waste Management District's drop-off network is for recyclable containers and paper only, and the district asks users to "only use these locations and drop off boxes for recycled materials." Its permanent boxes are at the Administration Building, 180 Milan Ave, Norwalk (two 20-yard cardboard boxes and a commingled box, hauled Mondays and Thursdays), Shady Lane, 130 Shady Lane, Norwalk (hauled Tuesdays), downtown Greenwich (one 20-yard commingled box, hauled Mondays and Thursdays), 7 B&O Pike East, Willard (cardboard, paper and metal cans, called in when full) and 59 Hyde St, Wakeman (cardboard). Township sites open on fixed Saturdays at 1337 Old State Rd, Norwalk (Bronson Township), 2750 Court Rd, Collins (Hartland Township), 5646 Young Rd, Bellevue (Lyme Township), 2663 Prairie St, New Haven (New Haven Township), 111 Townsend Ave, Norwalk (Norwalk Township), 1339 Section Line Rd 30, Willard (Norwich Township), 5426 Bull Head Rd, Willard (Richmond Township) and 47 S. Ridge St, Monroeville (Ridgefield Township). All of them take cardboard, paper, aluminum, metal cans and cartons; none accepts a mattress, box spring or any other bulky household item, and the county's commingled material goes to the Richland materials recovery facility. District questions go to 419-663-8059. Source Not confirmed: The district states no eligibility rule for its drop-off boxes, so whether they are open to anyone or only to the township's own residents is not published.
