Full Breakdown
Little Rock's solid waste division schedules four free bulky-item collections per year for each residential dwelling unit, covered under the standard $40.07 monthly solid-waste fee. Need a fifth pickup? The city bills a $25 minimum for up to two cubic yards of debris, plus $10 for each additional cubic yard: the same rate structure applies to oversize yard waste (limbs over six feet long or six inches thick) and other uncontained solid waste too large for a supercart. Bulk items can't go inside the supercart itself (Sec. 28-16(i)); construction debris, tires, wood waste, and vehicle parts aren't collected at all and stay the resident's own responsibility to haul away.
Violations & Fines
Placing bulk waste in a supercart violates Sec. 28-16(i); disturbing or dumping into containers not authorized is citable under Sec. 28-15, with penalties set by Sec. 1-9 per Sec. 28-31.
