• North Logan's collection is an exclusive franchise, and breaking it is a crime, but taking your own mattress to the dump yourself is specifically protected. Section 13D-200 of the North Logan Municipal Code, adopted by Ordinance 23-13 on September 13, 2023, recites that the city is party to an "Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between Cache County and Participating Municipalities of Cache County for Creation of an Interlocal Entity for County and Municipal Solid Waste Disposal dated November 2022", which created the Cache Waste Consortium, and that the Consortium's services agreement "require[s] governmental entities in the Consortium to adopt ordinances for the enforcement of the exclusive right granted to the provider under contract with the Consortium." Section 3, headed "Waste Management Granted Exclusive Franchise", gives the City Collector "the exclusive duty, right and privilege to provide Collection Services or otherwise handle all Solid Waste generated, deposited, accumulated or coming to exist at Commercial and Residential Premises in the City", and Section 4 requires every premises to enroll. Section 5 then makes it "unlawful for any person, except the City Collector, to provide Collection Services or otherwise handle any Solid Waste" in the city, and Section 6 makes any violation "a Class C misdemeanor". Two of those prohibitions bear directly on a mattress. The ordinance defines "Overage" as refuse "exceeding its Container's intended capacity such that the lid is lifted by at least ten inches" or refuse "placed on top of or in the immediate vicinity of the Container, in bags or otherwise", and Section 5 makes it "unlawful for any person to cause any Overage with any Container" - so a mattress stood beside the cart is itself the violation. The same section also caps weight: overfilling means "two times the volume capacity of the Container (e.g. 192 pounds for a 96-gallon Cart)." Against that, Section 5 preserves self-haul in plain terms: "Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit any owner, occupant or tenant of a Premises from personally, either directly or indirectly, handling, hauling, or transporting Solid Waste generated by or from such Premises for purposes of disposing of the same at an authorized disposal area or transfer station." North Logan's own Solid Waste FAQ names the full Consortium membership: "Residents and businesses in the following cities/towns are included: Amalga, Clarkston, Hyde Park, Hyrum, Mendon, Millville, Newton, Nibley, North Logan, Paradise, River Heights, Trenton, Wellsville, and Unincorporated Cache County areas." Smithfield, Providence and Logan are not on that list. Source Not confirmed: North Logan publishes no bulky item or large item pickup, no clean-up day and no landfill voucher on its city site; the city's current monthly garbage rate is not published on the utilities page, which points instead to a solid waste commission resolution document that carries no readable rate.
• North Logan is the one town in the valley whose code itemizes what the city will and will not collect, and bedding is on the accepted side of that list. Chapter 13D of the North Logan Municipal Code, Solid Waste, sets out two facing lists. Section 13D-108, "Solid Waste Acceptable For Collection", names four categories, of which the relevant one reads: "Rubbish: Non-putrescible solid wastes, excluding ashes, consisting of paper, cardboard, tin cans, yard clippings, wood, glass, bedding, crockery, metals, and similar materials." Section 13D-109, "Solid Waste Not Acceptable For Collection", lists dangerous materials and substances, "Unusual quantities of materials resulting from the repair, excavation or construction of buildings", materials not prepared for collection in accordance with the regulations, industrial process wastes, and "Any other material which in the judgment of the city is dangerous to equipment or unfeasible to handle." Neither list names a mattress or a box spring. What the chapter never does is provide a way to present an item too large for a container: section 13D-106 requires solid waste to be "placed at the curb in front of the premises or other pickup points designated by the city", section 13D-107 requires that "All refuse shall be stored in containers as specified by the contractual agent responsible for solid waste disposal" and makes it "unlawful to accumulate refuse on any premises except in containers which are approved by the city", and the city's later exclusivity ordinance at 13D-200 makes refuse set beside a cart an unlawful Overage. Section 13D-102 is the useful counterweight: "Nothing in this chapter shall preclude persons from removing and transporting their own solid waste from their premises." Section 13D-106 also fixes the set-out window - refuse "must not be set out upon the street for collection prior to the evening of the day before collection", and receptacles "must be removed from the street the same day they are emptied" - and 13D-113 makes it "unlawful for any person to dump, place, or deposit or cause to be dumped, placed, or deposited any solid waste, garbage, ashes, or refuse except in places specifically designated and posted by the city." Source Not confirmed: "Bedding" in the 13D-108 list of solid waste acceptable for collection is not defined, and the chapter nowhere names a mattress or a box spring. The word appearing on the accepted list is not a statement that the city will collect a mattress, and nothing in Chapter 13D provides any means of setting out an item too large for an approved container. Not confirmed: No bulky item fee is published, because no bulky item collection is published.
