general information
The City of Little Rock provides solid waste services in a safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner through waste collection, disposal and recycling. In addition, the city provides yard garbage collection and disposal, bulky item collection (too large to fit in a garbage cart), dead animal removal, mosquito spraying, and administration of neighborhood garbage collection programs. . Garbage and yard waste collection services are provided weekly and recycling collection services are provided bi-weekly.
Construction Waste Disposal: Waste from home modifications or repairs is classified as construction and is not included in your monthly solid waste fee. An option for these materials is to have a contractor dispose of such materials. You can take it to a landfill for disposal for a minimal fee, or request a special pick-up by a city official for an additional fee.
Ash Disposal: To dispose of ash from a fireplace or wood stove, soak the ash in water to extinguish any living embers, tie it securely in a plastic bag, and place it in a garbage cart.
Paint: To dispose of paint, use a paint extender such as kitty litter or sawdust. Another method is to pour the paint onto newspaper and let it dry. Remove the lids from the paint cans and dispose of them as household waste.

street garbage collection
The City of Little Rock collects household waste weekly in city-provided carts. It is collected by a side-loading garbage truck with hydraulic arms. Since this is a fully automated system, the cart should be positioned with the handle facing away from the street and within 5 feet of the curb. Also make sure there is at least 3 feet of clearance on each side of the cart. Place the garbage cart at the collection point by 7:00 am on the garbage collection day and remove it from the road by midnight after collection.

Carts must be on the curb by 7:00 AM on the scheduled pickup day and removed from the street by midnight after pickup.
