Rogers, AR Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

Rogers publishes specific cart-placement requirements for curbside collection by GFL. Materials must be at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled day. Each cart should be positioned less than three feet from the street curb, with the lid oriented toward the road and the wheels facing the house. To give the automated truck clearance, carts must be kept at least three feet away from recycling bins, six feet away from mailboxes, and a minimum of ten feet from fire hydrants. Carts must never be placed in alleys or behind/under obstacles such as low tree limbs or parked cars. The lid must be fully closed, overflowing carts will not be collected, and the cart cannot exceed 199 pounds. Carts also must not contain prohibited materials such as yard waste, bulky items, appliances, construction debris, dirt, bathroom fixtures, automotive fluids, tires, paint, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, or pesticides. Following these placement rules ensures the cart is reached by the collection truck; carts that are blocked, overfilled, or wrongly placed may be skipped. These are city-published service rules administered through the GFL contract.
