• WM Marble Falls Expanded Residential Services Brochure for 2026, published by the City of Marble Falls. "The City of Marble Falls has partnered with WM to provide trash, recycling and enhanced brush and bulk collection services". "Bulk Collection - Will now occur on the second full week of each month starting on January 12, 2026 based on your Route Collection Zone." "Brush Collection: Brush will be collected on a monthly basis based on your Route Collection Zone." On the bulk run: "Curbside bulk waste will now occur on the second full week of the month. Please have bulk items to the curb by 7 a.m. of the designated week. Bulk piles must be separate from brush piles." The Bulk Waste column lists "Carpeting (cut into 4-foot bundles); Household furniture; Appliances with CFCs removed; Moving boxes (broken down and bundled); Oversized waste customary to normal household operations", and the NOT Bulk Waste column lists appliances containing CFCs, gasoline, TVs, paint, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, tires, vehicles and parts, concrete, brick, asphalt and roofing, large pieces of metal, motor oil and used filters, construction debris, dead animals and syringes. Cart placement: "Carts must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day"; "All trash must be inside the cart. WM will not collect trash outside the cart." Observed holidays are Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

• Not an option: City of Marble Falls brush drop-off site, from the city's own collection page. "If you have brush and missed your quarterly brush collection or don't want to wait until your next monthly collection, you can drop off your brush, tree limbs, and yard clippings at the City's designated disposal site on Colt Circle. Items not allowed include construction materials, tires, batteries, oil, paint, chemicals, or other household trash and debris." WHEN: "Saturdays 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., excluding holidays". WHERE: "1901 Colt Circle". WHO: "This service is FREE for City of Marble Falls' residents, businesses, and property owners. (Proof of residency (e.g., utility bill) is required.) It is available to area contractors and non-residents for a fee" - "8-foot trailer or less $35.00; Greater than an 8-foot trailer to 16-foot trailer $50.00; Greater than 16-foot trailer $75.00". The site is for brush, tree limbs and yard clippings only and the city's own wording excludes "other household trash and debris", so a mattress cannot be taken there. This is a refusal that saves a wasted trip. Source
• City of Marble Falls, Landfill Information on the city's collection page: "The City of Marble Falls does not operate its own landfill or dump facility. Instead, residents typically use a nearby transfer station operated by Waste Management in Burnet County. Call for pricing and fees." The two sites the city names, with its own details: "Waste Management - Burnet County Transfer Station. Address: 2411 Ranch Road 963, Burnet, TX 78611. Phone: 737-747-6000. Hours: Monday-Friday 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. Closed: Saturday and Sunday." And the nearest landfill: "Waste Management - Williamson County Landfill. Address: 600 Landfill Road, Hutto, TX 78634.

Source Not confirmed: Neither site has a published price on the city's page - the city says only 'Call for pricing and fees' - so no gate rate and no mattress rate is recorded for either. Not confirmed: Neither site's own terms state whether a mattress is accepted.
