Rib Mountain large item pickup by Harter's Fox Valley Disposal
Properties in Rib Mountain whose owner has bought a garbage bin through the Rib Mountain Municipal Center. A renter cannot order one: the village states that if you rent, the owner must call or email to approve the bin.
Conditions and source
The village tells residents to call Harter's to schedule pickup and pay the additional fees, at 888-804-8556. No price is published for a large item pickup and the village does not say whether a mattress or box spring qualifies, so no price is established. The underlying cart is bought from the village rather than rented through a service fee: $182.00 for a 45-gallon garbage bin and $187.00 for a 90-gallon garbage bin, prorated for bins bought after the start of a year, delivered on Thursdays with the old bin left at the curb for Harter's to take. Recycling is collected every other week on the normal refuse day, and a collection day falling on a holiday moves to the following day.
- $182 — Per 45-gallon garbage bin bought from the Rib Mountain Municipal Center, prorated for bins bought after the start of a year. This is the cost of the cart, not of a large item pickup, for which the village publishes no price.
- $187 — Per 90-gallon garbage bin bought from the Rib Mountain Municipal Center, prorated for bins bought after the start of a year. This is the cost of the cart, not of a large item pickup, for which the village publishes no price.
Not confirmed: No price is published for the large item pickup.
Not confirmed: It is not published whether a mattress or box spring qualifies as a large item.

Marathon County landfill mattress and bulky waste disposal
The department serves the residents, businesses and municipalities of central and north-central Wisconsin; it publishes no proof-of-residency requirement for self-haul customers.
Conditions and source
Mattresses, box springs and furniture are treated as regular refuse and accepted at the Ringle site for disposal at the standard rates on the county's Rates and Fees sheet; there is no per-item mattress charge. All loads must be tarped and secure. The scale office is at 715-446-3101.
Not confirmed: The Rates and Fees sheet could not be read (HTTP 403), so the minimum charge, tonnage rate and receiving hours are not recorded here

Lincoln County Landfill self-haul ("Mattress/Boxspring = $10 each")
Lincoln County states the department's purpose as providing "Lincoln County residents, businesses and institutions with a solid waste disposal facility in conformance with NR 500 and approved by the WI Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency." The fee page asks for no proof of address, sets no separate out-of-county rate and refuses no outside waste, so a resident of another county is neither admitted nor excluded in print. The department also runs a recycling drop-off facility, a construction and demolition site, a clean wood and brush disposal area and fuel-contaminated soil treatment on the same site.
Conditions and source
The county's own line is "Mattress/Boxspring = $10 each." The gate rate it sits beside is "Garbage = $20.00 minimum/520 pounds ($78.00 a ton)", whose examples include furniture and carpeting. Sorting matters: "Sorting compost, appliances, oil, car batteries, and tires from waste is required by state law. These items must be kept separate or be subject to fines if mixed. All mixed loads will be charged the garbage rate." Other rates: roofing $20.00 minimum/400 pounds ($52.00 a ton); clean wood $20.00 minimum/1340 pounds ($15.00 a ton); cleanfill $20.00 minimum ($10.00 a ton); metal $20.00 minimum/760 pounds ($27.00 a ton); recyclables $20.00 minimum/560 pounds ($55.00 a ton). Appliances are $20.00, CFC appliances $30.00, small tires $5.00 each, a scale weight ticket $2.00. Hours: Monday through Friday, summer (May 1 to September 30) 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and winter (October 1 to April 30) 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., plus the 1st and 3rd Saturdays 8:00 a.m. to noon. "We do accept Credit and Debit cards but there will be a processing fee." Manager Keith Cohrs, 715-536-9636.
- $10 — Lincoln County's own fee page: "Mattress/Boxspring = $10 each." Charged per piece, so a mattress and its box spring are $10 apiece. The page does not say whether this stands alone or is added to the $20.00 garbage minimum for the same trip.
- $20 — Lincoln County's garbage minimum: "Garbage = $20.00 minimum/520 pounds ($78.00 a ton)", whose example list includes furniture and carpeting. This is the minimum for a load of garbage, not a mattress price, and the county does not say whether a mattress-only trip pays it on top of the $10 per-item charge.
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether the $10 per-item mattress charge stands alone or is added to the $20.00 garbage minimum for the same trip.
Not confirmed: No proof-of-residency requirement is published and no out-of-county rate is set, so whether a non-resident may use the gate is not established.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress is recycled or landfilled is not stated.
Not confirmed: No limit on the number of mattresses per trip is published.

What Rib Mountain itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Rib Mountain's Chapter 22, Refuse and Recycling Regulations, current as of January 26, 2026, is a recycling ordinance and sets no bulky waste rule at all. It says plainly why: "Whereas the Town does not operate its own landfill, the further intent of this chapter is to ensure the continued success of the Marathon County Ordinance pertaining to recycling and landfill use." Section 22.10 designates a single municipal drop-off, and it is for garden material only, the Rib Mountain Yard Waste Site, while leaving residents and businesses free to use other state-certified material recovery or waste facilities. The chapter applies to all residential and non-residential buildings in the municipality, defines refuse as "All materials legally accepted for land filling at licensed landfills", and defines recyclable materials as those banned from landfilling at the Marathon County Landfill or in Wisconsin, a list of batteries, major appliances, waste oil, yard waste, containers, paper, plastics and tires in which bedding does not appear. There is no section on bulky items, large items, mattresses, set-out windows or illegal dumping, and no collection charge is set anywhere in the chapter. Section 22.14 provides for inspection and for citations issued by the Refuse and Recycling Coordinator. Source Not confirmed: The forfeiture amounts under Section 22.14 were not legible on the published chapter. Not confirmed: Rib Mountain has no ordinance provision on bulky items, set-out windows or illegal dumping, so those local rules are not established.

- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
