• Royse City states plainly that it has nowhere of its own for a resident to take waste: 'The City of Royse City does not have a public landfill.' For anything the curbside service will not take, the city names two landfills and warns that they cost money: 'To dispose of bulk items that will not be collected by city services please contact one of the landfills listed below. Additional charges and fees may apply. C.M. Hinton Jr. Regional Landfill, 3175 Elm Grove Road, Rowlett, TX 75089, 972-205-3670 / 972-205-3671; Maloy Landfill and Sanitation, 2811 FM 1568, Campbell, TX 75422, 903-886-3275 / 903-866-7832.' The only recycling drop-off the city names is the Rockwall Recycling Center, 9104 State Highway 276, Royse City TX 75189, 945-333-6069, which is a containers-and-paper site, and the city's own recycling is an optional blue cart with 'No additional fees to utilize this service' taking clear or brown glass, newspaper and magazines, #1, #2 and #5 plastics, aluminum cans, tin cans and flattened cardboard. Because a mattress is collected at the curb, the landfills matter mainly for the items the curbside service refuses.

Hinton Jr. Regional Landfill or Maloy Landfill and Sanitation - only 'Additional charges and fees may apply' Not confirmed: Whether either landfill offers a Royse City resident rate is not stated
• Royse City has no mattress recycling and its own code makes the alternative expensive. The city's recycling is a curbside containers-and-paper cart plus the Rockwall Recycling Center; neither takes mattresses, and no dedicated mattress recycler, manufacturer take-back or collection site serving Royse City or Rockwall County was established. Texas has no state mattress recycling program - the Mattress Recycling Council supports programs in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island only. The city's Code Compliance page publishes the rules that catch a mattress left in the wrong place, and it is worth reading before dumping one: illegal dumping is section 8.01.003, 'Depositing trash or garage on property of another. It shall be unlawful for any person to throw or deposit any trash or garbage onto any public property or private property of another person other than in a trash receptacle'; accumulation on your own property is covered twice, under 'Junk, Debris, Rubbish' and 'Accumulation of Brush', both citing 'Chapter 3, Div. 9, IPMC Sec. 307.1 Accumulation of rubbish or garbage. All exterior property and premises, and the interior of every structure, shall be free from any accumulation of rubbish or garbage.' Code Compliance patrols north and south of I-30 separately, reachable at codecompliance@roysecity.com, 141 W Main Street. Source Not confirmed: The Top 12 Code Violations page quotes the offenses but not the fine amounts or the penalty range for illegal dumping or an IPMC 307.1 accumulation Not confirmed: No apartment or HOA-specific bulk item rule is published by the city Not confirmed: No local reuse or donation outlet in Royse City was established with a published mattress policy

• Current homepage says drop-off is coming soon, whereas existing MRC card 42 lists commercial drop-off at 1915 Kramer Ln and open 24 hours. Do not rely on that old drop-off listing as current. Homepage offers indoor/curb pickup and states reuse, then recycling, then landfill as its routing preference. Source
