Full Breakdown
The Recycling and Trash Collection Division collects large items like furniture and appliances by appointment. Call 479-575-8398 before setting anything out; scheduling can run two or more weeks. Place items by 5 a.m. on collection day, no more than 12 hours prior, within 5 to 6 feet of the curb and clear of power lines, tree limbs, and other objects. Excluded items include tires, electronics, hazardous materials, railroad ties, tree stumps, treated lumber, concrete slabs, cast iron tubs, and ceramic toilets or sinks. Additional pickups (up to five items in one category) are available for a fee, and the city also offers four free bulky-waste drop-off days per year at the Transfer Station.
