• Orrville's current trash guide puts large items at the curb on the ordinary collection day. "Our Community Trash and Recycling Guide", published by the City of Orrville and linked from the city's Trash and Recycling page, says under Large Items and Paint Disposal: "Large items such as stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, and furniture will be collected at curbside on your regular collection day. Appliances containing freon must be tagged by a certified technician that the freon has been properly removed before collection can occur." Trash and recycling are collected at the curb once each week and "All residents will be serviced on Thursdays", with containers, bags and bundles out by 7 a.m. but not before 6 p.m. the prior evening. All refuse must be in the trash cans provided by Kimble Company or in plastic bags not exceeding 35 gallons or 35 pounds, and "Material not readily bagged may be placed out in bundles not exceeding 3 feet in length or 50 pounds in weight." The prohibited list is "Any hazardous waste/infectious waste, construction/demolition material, dirt, block, brick or concrete, tires, batteries, chemical/liquids, appliances containing freon" - bedding of any kind appears nowhere on it. For anything outside the routine the guide says: "Kimble Company offers a variety of services to meet your trash removal needs. For information concerning non-routine pickup requests, contact our customer service department at 1-800-201-0005." The Orrville Compost Center at the end of Apple Avenue is open to Orrville residents only, April through October, and accepts "only materials that will compost". City Hall is at 207 North Main Street, Orrville, Ohio 44667, 330-684-5000. Source Not confirmed: The guide's large item paragraph names stoves, refrigerators, water tanks and furniture but not mattresses or box springs, and it is an example list rather than an exhaustive one, so its silence is neither an acceptance nor a refusal Not confirmed: The guide gives no allowance, no notice period and no charge for a large item, and it does not repeat the requirement to schedule one with Kimble that the city's 2020 contract notice sets out Not confirmed: The guide carries no publication date

• Primary names Harvard Avenue Transfer Station at 3227 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights OH 44105; district calls it Harvard Road at 3227 Harvard Road. Same number, city and operator support an identity candidate, but street suffix discrepancy retained. Source
• Hamilton municipal FAQ says transfer-station large-item intake Monday–Saturday. Existing Rumpke operator-locator staging record 07c7c0690194a830d775d57e lists Monday–Friday 8am–3:45pm at the same 1000 N Third Street address and phone 513-867-8661. This is an hours discrepancy, not grounds to merge unrelated branches. Source
• Ohio EPA Solid Waste Management District Locator (GIS app): select a county to see its Solid Waste Management District; the underlying layer covers all 88 counties. SWMDs are the local contact for recycling and disposal. Source
• Ohio EPA's "Where to Recycle" page names the three statewide tools it offers residents: the Ohio EPA Recycling Directory (a searchable directory of service providers who volunteered to be listed), the solid waste management district locator map, and the Ohio Materials Marketplace for businesses. It states that recycling and litter prevention activities are controlled locally through the county's solid waste management district, which "can help with information such as ... where to take hard to recycle items". Note the agency site now serves these pages under the /wps/portal/gov/epa/ path; the bare /divisions-and-offices/... URLs 404 when requested directly. Source
• The Ohio EPA Recycling Directory is hosted on RecycleSearch (Re-TRAC) and is searchable by free text or by pre-set material categories after setting a location. Its own text says results may include curbside recycling programs, drop-off recycling locations, reuse stores and other service providers, and that listing is not an endorsement. Its FAQ states the directory "is in the process of being populated" and that some areas of the state may have no information available, directing residents to their local solid waste management district instead. Listings are managed by Ohio EPA and the districts. Source
• No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Ohio EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments and county solid waste management districts. The agency's own site search for "mattress" returns only 4 resources, none of them mattress-related (Revised Total Coliform Rule, Underground Injection Control, operator exam information and a Trauma Scene Clean-Up fact sheet). The Materials and Waste Management division pages cover solid waste, infectious waste, scrap tires and C&DD, with no mattress or bulky-item program. Source
• Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Ohio is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Ohio. Source
