Springdale's Bulky Waste Pick-Up Program is operated by the City's Public Works Department (not CARDS) and lets residents dispose of large items twice per calendar year per residence. Each pickup is capped at 8 cubic yards combined volume; the annual furniture limit is 4 mattresses or box springs and 2 couches per year. Accepted items include appliances (stoves, water heaters, washers, dryers, refrigerators and other cooling units), furniture, mattresses, construction materials, large tree limbs, and tires and rims. Schedule by calling Springdale City Hall at 479-750-8114 (Public Works).
The Springdale Bulky Waste Pick-Up Program runs separately from the CARDS Holdings trash contract - it is operated by the City's Public Works Department under Chapter 42 of the Code of Ordinances. The program is limited to 2 pickups per calendar year per residence, with each pickup capped at 8 cubic yards combined volume. The annual furniture cap is 4 mattresses or box springs and 2 couches per residence per year (note: this is an annual limit, not a per-pickup limit). Accepted items: appliances (stoves, water heaters, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators and other cooling units - these are 'white goods' that require EPA Section 608 freon evacuation by the City's contractor for refrigerant-bearing units), furniture (within the annual mattress/couch caps), construction materials within reason, large tree limbs and yard-waste branches, and tires and rims. Not accepted at the curb for bulky pickup: bagged yard waste (which goes through the CARDS yard-waste cart instead), paint and other liquid household hazardous waste, electronics including televisions (which need the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District household hazardous waste program), and polystyrene foam ('Styrofoam'). Scheduling: call Springdale City Hall at 479-750-8114 and ask for Public Works bulky-waste scheduling. Items are placed at the curb on the agreed pickup day. Residents who exhaust their two annual pickups can take additional bulky items directly to the WM Eco Vista Landfill in Tontitown (just outside Springdale) or to the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District facility at 11398 Bond Road, Prairie Grove, AR 72753 (479-846-3005) for tipping-fee disposal. Authority traces to Springdale Code of Ordinances Chapter 42 (Environment), A.C.A. §8-9-401 et seq. (Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act), and ADEQ Regulation No. 22 (solid waste).
Setting bulky items at the curb without a scheduled Public Works appointment is treated as illegal dumping under Code Chapter 42 and A.C.A. §8-6-406 (littering, $100-$1,000 first offense plus up to 8 hours community service; up to 24 hours for repeats). Exceeding the 2-pickups-per-year limit or the 8 cubic yards per pickup, or the annual 4-mattress/2-couch furniture caps, results in items left at the curb with a tag and the resident must self-haul to Eco Vista Landfill or Boston Mountain Solid Waste District. Bagged yard waste, paint, electronics including televisions, and polystyrene foam are not collected and may be cited if left at the curb. Refrigerant-bearing appliances mishandled (cut open or vented by the resident) violate federal EPA Clean Air Act Section 608 / 40 CFR Part 82 with civil penalties up to $44,539 per day per violation. Larger-scale or commercial dumping may be referred to ADEQ under A.C.A. §8-9-401 et seq. for civil penalties up to $10,000 per day per violation.
