Temple Landfill self-haul disposal (non-resident load minimum $55.37 plus state fee)
Open beyond the city that owns it: 'Visitors come from throughout the Central Texas Council of Governments 7-county region.' Everyone must 'bring your identification to show where the waste was generated'. The free monthly dump is for Temple residents only, on production of a current Temple water utility bill showing a residential garbage rate, and it excludes mattresses in any case. A resident of Jarrell or any other non-Temple address pays the published non-resident minimum.
Conditions and source
706 Landfill Road, Temple, TX 76501, at the end of East Avenue H on the east side of Loop 363. The landfill is operated by Waste Management under a lease agreement with the City of Temple.

Not confirmed: The page does not state the tarp-failure fee or the scalehouse price of a safety vest.
Not confirmed: The page publishes no list of accepted or unaccepted materials beyond what the resident free dump excludes, so it does not confirm in writing that a mattress may be brought.

What Coryell County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Copperas Cove and its neighbors.
- Coryell County runs no place a household can take a mattress. The county's website groups its offices as county offices, other county services and courts, and the whole list is the commissioners court, constables, county attorney, auditor, clerk, judge, tax assessor and collector, treasurer, justice of the peace, sheriff, elections, emergency management, the on-site sewage facility office, development and permitting, the extension office, the historical commission, human resources, the indigent health care program, the road and bridge department, and the district and county courts with their probation, child protection, child support, crime victims, indigent defense and pretrial services. There is no solid waste, recycling, landfill, transfer station or disposal department among them. The county's one environmental office is the OSSF office, listed under "Apply for" as "Septic / On-Site Sewage Facility", which handles septic permitting and whose published document is a 2026 listing of maintenance providers and installers. The county names no disposal site, no citizen collection station, no cleanup event, no accepted item list and no fee, and publishes no bulky-item collection and no curbside service. The county's general line is (254) 865-5911. The only municipal answers inside the county belong to its cities rather than to Coryell County. Source Not confirmed: The county does not publish a nearest-disposal-site referral, so it offers a resident of unincorporated Coryell County no county-sourced destination for a mattress. Not confirmed: The county publishes no list of the private haulers serving unincorporated Coryell County.
