• Collection in western Kane County is the district's business too, but nothing it publishes about collection covers a mattress. The district's pricing page routes residential customers to their own town hall to order a can — Kanab City at 435-644-2534, Orderville Town at 435-648-2534 and Glendale Town at 435-648-2341 — and sends Johnson Canyon and Vermillion Cliffs residents to a separate Kanab East customer service agreement instead. Everything the page actually prices is a container: a 6 yard commercial dumpster at a $100 refundable deposit for new customers, $20 a month rent and $20 per scheduled lift or $30 per unscheduled on-call lift, with monthly schedules from $40 once a month up to $260 three times weekly; a 6 yard temporary or construction dumpster at the same deposit and rent with $30 per lift; and 20 and 30 yard rolloffs at a $435 refundable deposit, $75 per calendar month rent, an $85 initial delivery fee, a $125 truck fee per empty and return, a landfill charge per empty of $100 for a 20 yard or $150 for a 30 yard, and a $100 fuel surcharge per empty for locations about 15 miles or more from the nearest landfill. A $30 non-use fee applies to a commercial or temporary dumpster not emptied at least once a month, and $125 to a rolloff. There is no residential rate on the page, no bulky item pickup, no large item collection and no clean-up event. A household in Kanab with a mattress and no truck is not served by any of this; the mattress has to reach the Kaneplex Drive landfill, where the district charges $10 for it. Source Not confirmed: The pricing page publishes no residential collection rate at all, directing residents to their city or town office instead, so what a Kanab household pays for its can, and whether anything beyond the can is collected, is not established. Not confirmed: No bulky item or large item collection is published by the district, and the absence of one was not stated in the district's own words; it is simply not offered anywhere it publishes. Not confirmed: The page carries a 'Copyright 2018' footer and no effective date, so how current these rates are is not established.
• Who the Kane County answer belongs to is worth being precise about, because the free household disposal at the landfill is tied to district boundaries rather than to the county line. The Western Kane County Special Service District #1 was organized in 1981 and provides garbage and television services within its boundaries. It serves four municipalities — Kanab, Glendale, Orderville and Alton — and is governed by a seven-person board, with three members appointed by the Kane County Commissioners and one appointed by each of the four municipalities, plus a non-voting county commission liaison. Kane County's government does not itself operate a landfill or a collection program; the district does both, and the county's role is the three appointments it makes to the board. A Kanab household is inside the district and so inside the free household disposal the district publishes; a household elsewhere in Kane County may not be. Source Not confirmed: The district publishes no map or written description of its boundaries, naming only the four municipalities it serves, so which unincorporated parts of Kane County are inside the district is not established. Not confirmed: Big Water, in the east of the county, is not mentioned on any district page, so whether its residents are inside the district, and therefore whether their household waste is free at the gate, is not established. Not confirmed: Kane County's own government website was not located as publishing any solid waste page of its own, so the county's position on collection and disposal rests here on the district's pages.
• Not an option: No donation outlet serving Kane County was established as taking a used mattress. Deseret Industries, the thrift and donation chain with the widest reach in southern Utah, lists "Beds, mattresses, foundations" on its own donate page among the items it does not accept, together with large appliances, tires, titled campers, automobiles and trailers, pianos and organs, and broken items, under a note that the list "is not comprehensive but includes many of the items that DI does not accept". Deseret Industries takes donations only at its drive-thru during donation hours and offers no pickup. Kanab is a long way from any of the chain's stores in any case, and the special service district that runs waste in western Kane County refers recycling inquiries to Recyclops, a private subscription service, not to any reuse outlet. On the evidence available, the $10 mattress charge at the Kanab landfill is the only established route for a mattress in this county. Source Not confirmed: No Deseret Industries store was established inside or near Kane County from a primary source; the donate page carries chain-wide policy and lists no addresses. Not confirmed: No furniture bank, shelter or reuse store in Kane County was established as accepting a used mattress, and the absence was not confirmed by any organization's own page. Not confirmed: Recyclops, named by the district as the recycling contact for Kane County, was not checked for a mattress policy and is not established as taking one.
