Trash Cart Ordinance (848-17)

• 1st residential cart is provided by the City with the original water meter, free of charge. 
  • Additional carts require a $100 deposit and add $11.00/month to the water bill.
• City-issued trash carts are dumped one time per week, per cart, per section of town.
• Rules for trash carts:
  • Out by 7:00 a.m. on pick-up day, on a level surface
• Only household trash in bags will be picked up
  • Lid has to be closed
• Must be 3 feet away from any other objects with no overhead obstructions
• Handle must be opposite roadside
• Nothing is picked up except City issued carts
• In the event there is not a cart with the home or apartment, the property owner must pay a $100 deposit to replace it, unless the apartment owner uses a dumpster.

These rules must be followed or your trash will not be picked up. 

County Dumpsters are usually made available once every quarter for Class IV trash.  Please call the County Judge’s Office at 870-886-1110 to find out when these are available. Google “Class IV Waste” for specific items allowed. 

Recycle Bin is located next to the Fire Dept. at 218 East Main Street.  Items must be placed INSIDE the bin to be picked up. Household trash is not permitted.  Items placed outside the bin will subject the person to a littering fine. 

Please note that it is against the law to use business-owned dumpsters.
