Every fee, band, and claim on this hub traces to a public source with a pull date. Here is exactly where the numbers come from, how the price bands are formed, and how often we refresh.
Disposal and tipping fees are transcribed from the operators' own published rate sheets and pages. The anchor is the Redwood Landfill Service & Fee Schedule (effective October 2025), a public PDF from Waste Management. Mattress-recycling facts come from the Mattress Recycling Council / Bye Bye Mattress program and CalRecycle. Donation and tax rules come from the charities' own donation pages and IRS Publication 561 and Form 8283.
Each row on the cost index and each citation below shows the date we last read the source (2026-06-24 for this build). Fees change; the pull date tells you how fresh the figure is. Where an effective date is printed on the source (e.g., Redwood's October 2025 schedule), we show that too.
The full-service bands — single item from $125, half-load $399, full load from $649 — are Marin Junk Haulers's own flat-rate service tiers, not third-party data. They are priced by volume (how much of the truck a load fills) plus any special-item handling, and quoted from a photo before booking. Self-haul figures are the facilities' published gate rates, shown side by side so you can compare hiring out against a dump run.
We re-pull the disposal-fee sources roughly quarterly, and sooner when an operator announces a rate change (for example, the California mattress recycling fee rising to $18.00 per unit on April 1, 2026). The pull date on every page reflects the most recent verification.
