What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Plain City collects garbage itself or through an agent, and its code restricts who else may haul a mattress out of town. Section 4-4-2 of the City Code of Plain City provides that 'The city or its agent shall collect, remove and dispose of all residential, commercial garbage, the removal of which is not otherwise provided for', and that 'Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this chapter, no garbage or refuse shall be moved or hauled away or transported upon the streets or public ways of the city except by the city or its agent and except by authorized persons hauling commercial garbage or refuse ... It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person, except as permitted in this chapter, to haul or remove garbage or refuse in the city.' A hauler who wants that permission must get it from the city: 'Authorized garbage haulers must apply for and receive permission to do so from the city recorder.' Subsection D preserves the resident's own right to take it themselves - 'Nothing contained in this section shall preclude persons from hauling their own garbage, trash or community waste over the streets and alleys of the city in vehicles and containers approved by a sanitary inspector'. Section 4-4-1 defines REFUSE as all waste matter other than food waste arising from occupancy of a residence, expressly excluding construction and demolition waste, so a mattress is refuse under this chapter. Section 4-4-3 charges every residence a monthly garbage collection fee 'in such amount as established from time to time by resolution of the city council', billed on the monthly sewer bill, and applies that charge 'whether or not they have also elected to haul their own garbage'. The chapter provides for no bulky-item or large-item collection. Source Not confirmed: Plain City's own website, plaincityutah.org, could not be reached on repeated attempts from two different clients and from a browser - the server reset the connection every time - so the city's published garbage schedule, its hauler, its monthly rate and its landfill hours could not be read from the city's own pages. Not confirmed: Section 4-4-3 leaves the monthly garbage fee to resolution and the code states no figure, so the amount a Plain City household pays is not established. Not confirmed: No Plain City clean-up week, amnesty day or dumpster program was found published anywhere.
• Plain City runs a landfill of its own, but it is published as a green waste site rather than a household one. Farr West City's own Garbage Service page tells its residents that for green waste 'we recommend contacting Plain City to obtain a punch pass and use their green waste landfill', and gives the address as 2700 North 5100 West, Plain City, Utah. It is a Plain City municipal facility rather than a county one, and it is the nearest city-run drop-off a Plain City resident has. Nothing published about it describes it as taking household furniture or bedding, and no mattress fee or mattress policy for the site could be found in any primary source. A reader should treat it as a green waste and yard waste site and take a mattress to the Weber County Transfer Station instead. Source Not confirmed: The description of the Plain City landfill comes from Farr West City's page, not from Plain City's own site, because plaincityutah.org could not be reached. Its hours, its punch-pass price, its full accepted and not-accepted lists and any mattress policy are all unestablished. Not confirmed: No published rate card or mattress fee exists for this site, so it is recorded as a finding and not listed as a drop-off.
