What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Hutto Code of Ordinances, Chapter 24 (Utilities), Article 24.03 (Solid Waste), read on the publisher's own eCode360 page. The code does not oblige the city to take bulky items at all. Section 24.03.011(a): "Heavy accumulations such as brush, broken concrete, ashes, appliances, sand or gravel, automobile frames, dead trees, or tree limbs exceeding three (3) feet in length or six (6) inches in diameter or any other bulky materials shall be disposed of at the expense of the owner or person controlling same." Bulk service in Hutto therefore comes from the utility-billing arrangement with Al Clawson Disposal, not from a right under the code. Section 24.03.004(c) sets the set-out duty: "it shall be the duty of any person owning, occupying, managing, operating, leasing, or renting any residential premises to place the containers at the curb on the street prior to 7:00 a.m. on the day or days established for collection", and requires tree limbs to be cut to lengths not exceeding three feet and six inches in diameter. Section 24.03.003 is the dumping rule: "It shall be unlawful for any person to sweep, haul, throw, or deposit any garbage, handbills, trash, dirt, concrete, rocks, brick, plaster, tile, stagnant water, or dead animals into, upon, or along any drain, gutter, alley, sidewalk, parkway, street, road, or vacant lot." Section 24.03.004(b) caps a manually loaded container at 80 pounds. Section 24.03.011(d) allows storm brush removal on written request for a minimum fee set in the appendix A fee schedule, plus a further charge for each five minutes of crew time beyond the first five. Source Not confirmed: The codified text of section 24.03.004(c) contains a blank where the collection frequency should be - 'The city shall collect refuse from residential areas of the city _____ weekly' - so the code does not state how often collection runs Not confirmed: Appendix A, which holds the storm brush fee amounts, was not read Not confirmed: The article sets no separate fine amount for solid waste offenses; the general penalty provision was not read Not confirmed: The code contains no mattress-specific, wrapping or apartment rule
• Not an option: The nearest Habitat ReStore to Hutto, Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County's store at 2108 N Austin Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626, will not take a mattress.

The store does take bedroom furniture other than beds, appliances under ten years old, cabinets, doors, windows, flooring, plumbing fixtures, tools and building materials, Tuesday-Saturday, with donations received 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Recorded for Hutto so a resident does not drive to Georgetown with a mattress in the truck.
