Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Wenatchee and its neighbors.

• Neither Chelan nor Douglas County collects anything itself. Outside city limits collection is provided by a WUTC-certificated company under a filed tariff, and the tariff is the rate a resident actually pays. Waste Management of Washington, Inc., permit G-237, registered trade name "Waste Management of Greater Wenatchee", Tariff No. 14 carries the only bulky-item rate on file for this valley. "Item 150 – Loose and Bulky Material" (5th Revised Page No. 28, issue date February 15, 2024, effective date April 1, 2024) reads "Special trips: Time rates in Item 160 apply." and then, for Regular Route: "Bulky materials — 1 to 4 cubic yards Rate per Yard $16.15; Additional cubic yards Rate per Yard $16.15; Minimum Charge Per Pickup $16.15", with the same $16.15 figures for "Loose material (Company load)". The tariff's standard definition is "Bulky Materials: Empty carriers, cartons, boxes, crates, etc., or materials offered for disposal, all of which may be readily handled without shoveling." "Item 160 – Time Rates" applies "When a customer orders a single, special, or emergency pickup", is charged "to the nearest increment of 15 minutes" from terminal to terminal, and states "Disposal fees in addition to time rates. Item 230 disposal fees for the specific disposal site or facility used will apply in addition to time rates." Its rates per hour are "Single rear drive axle: Non-packer truck $76.60 truck and driver, $28.07 each extra person, $76.80 Minimum Charge; Packer truck $113.99, $28.07, $100.76 Minimum Charge; Tandem rear drive axle: Packer truck $113.99, $28.07, $113.99; Drop-box truck $113.99, $28.07, $113.99" (effective August 1, 2020). Item 100 residential monthly rates are filed separately for "Appendix A (excluding unincorporated Douglas County)", for "Unincorporated Douglas County as contained in Appendix A" and for "Rural Unincorporated Douglas County as contained in Appendix E" (rates effective April 1, 2026); the Douglas County rows carry an extra per-month "Douglas County Garbage Service Fee" because "In accordance with Douglas County Solid Waste Collection Fee Ordinance C.E. 94-014, the fee shown in each column above will be assessed each month. This fee will expire on March 31, 2027." Nothing in the tariff — not Item 150, not the definitions page, not the residential items — uses the word mattress. Source Not confirmed: The tariff never names a mattress. Whether a mattress is accepted as "Bulky Materials" on a regular route at $16.15, or must be ordered as a special trip billed at Item 160 time rates plus Item 230 disposal fees, is not stated anywhere in the filed tariff, and WM's own Wenatchee pages do not answer it either. Not confirmed: The tariff's service areas are defined by Appendices A, B, C and E, which are maps rather than lists of addresses, so exactly which unincorporated addresses fall inside each rate schedule was not established.
• The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission — which regulates garbage collection outside city limits and is the reason a filed tariff exists at all — lists the certificated companies by county. For Chelan County: "Zippy Disposal Service, Inc. (G-121)", "Methow Valley Sanitation Service, Inc. (G-146)" and "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (G-237)". For Douglas County: "Zippy Disposal Service, Inc. (G-121)", "Sunrise Disposal, Inc. (G-201)" and "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (G-237)". For Kittitas County the commission lists one company only: "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (G-237)". For Okanogan County it lists six: "Pellegrini, Robert J. (G-21)", "Zippy Disposal Service, Inc. (G-121)", "Methow Valley Sanitation Service, Inc. (G-146)", "Torre Refuse and Recycling LLC (G-260)", "Sunrise Disposal, Inc. (G-201)" and "Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (G-237)". The commission qualifies its own list: "These maps are for reference only. They should not be used for formal or legal reasons", and the table is "only a partial list, and some companies with special permits are not listed." This is a county-layer fact rather than a service: none of these companies is the county, and a resident outside city limits does not choose among them — the certificate fixes who serves a given address. Source Not confirmed: The commission's own page says the list is partial, so a household's certificated hauler cannot be read off it with certainty for any particular address.
• The City of Wenatchee describes the same program in its own words and confirms that the city runs no collection of its own: under "Clean Up" the city's page reads, "The City of Wenatchee contracts with Waste Management, Inc. to provide one free dump and two free yard debris dumps per year at the transfer station on South Wenatchee Avenue. In addition, there is a spring program to dispose of appliances. For information on these programs call: (509) 662-4591. The City of Wenatchee also has a Neighborhood Chipping Program. Neighborhoods interested in signing up for help with clean up can contact the Parks Department at: (509) 888-3284. Advance notice is necessary." Under "Garbage": "Waste Management of Wenatchee: (509) 662-4591 handles all problems with garbage, including missed garbage pickup, no lids on garbage cans or missing cans. They also manage the curbside recycling program." Under "Recycling": "The City of Wenatchee has a curbside recycling program for paper, plastic and cans operated through Waste Management of Greater Wenatchee: (509) 662-4591. Several clean up programs are also coordinated through the Chelan County Solid Waste Division at: (509) 667-6415." So collection in Wenatchee is WM's, not the city's, and the free allowance is one garbage trip and two yard debris trips a year — the same three trips WM's own page describes. The city page names no item list and does not itself say a mattress qualifies; the item list is WM's. Source Not confirmed: The city's page refers to "Several clean up programs" coordinated through the Chelan County Solid Waste Division without naming them, and the county's own solid waste pages publish no clean-up event, free dump day or bulky collection; what those programs are was not established. Not confirmed: The WM flyer hosted by the city at wenatcheewa.gov ("Waste Management Acceptable Free Dump Material at the Wenatchee Transfer Station", showdocument?id=19288) returns HTTP 403 to a direct fetch and the browser pane treats it as a download rather than a page, so it could not be read; secondary descriptions of it give four free dumps a year rather than the one garbage trip the city and WM both publish.
