• City of White Oak Garbage page: 'The City of White Oak has an exclusive sanitation contract with Republic Services. For questions or concerns about service or Pinehill Landfill, please call Republic Service at 1-800-678-7274 (1-800-MRTRASH).' 'White Oak's designated trash pick-up day is Wednesday; however, this may change periodically due to a holiday.' Republic observes New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. On set-out the page states both the hauler's request and the ordinance: 'Republic Services requests customers have all garbage at the curb by 6:30 a.m. for collection, but please remember that there is a city ordinance which states that carts are not to be placed at the curb before 6:00 p.m. preceding collection day.' On bulky items the city offers only a quarterly event: 'The City hosts a city clean-up opportunity four times a year. Dates are announced on the website and on the City's Facebook page. During this time, residents can bring bulky unwanted items to the area behind public works located on Highway 42, behind the water treatment plant.' Items not allowed at the clean-up: paint, oil, tires, shingles, appliances with compressors, batteries, 'Any other hazardous materials'. No curbside bulky-item collection and no bulky-item fee is published anywhere on the page. Source Not confirmed: White Oak publishes no curbside bulky-item or large-item collection, and no price for one. Not confirmed: Mattresses are named nowhere on the page, neither for the clean-up days nor for the landfill trips. Not confirmed: The four clean-up dates are not published on the page; the city says they are announced on the website and Facebook. Not confirmed: The ordinance that sets the 6:00 p.m. cart rule is referred to but not cited by section, and White Oak's code could not be located on a city page. Not confirmed: Nothing mattress-specific was found for White Oak — no recycler, no take-back, and Texas runs no statewide mattress program.

• 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
