RECYCLING INFORMATION
FAULKNER COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
We offer curbside recycling service for Faulkner County outside of City of Conway city limits. Please call our office number at
(501) 336-0758 to set up curbside service.
Rules & Regulations for Curbside Recycling Service:
-
We offer small recycling bins, but you are permitted to use a personal bin for your recycling. However, we require that you have a sign or write on the bin recycling on all sides, so our drivers are aware it is not trash.
-
Our drivers have different routes each day of the week. We can’t guarantee a certain time on your scheduled day for service. We ask that you have your recycling out and visible by 7:00 am on your regularly scheduled day.
-
Our Facebook page and website is regularly updated with any important information regarding any route changes or holidays.
-
All recycling must be bagged and tied in CLEAR or BLUE translucent recyclable bags only. Loose recycling will NOT be picked up.
-
All cardboard needs to be broken down and flat. If the cardboard does NOT fit in a bag, place it in or beside the bin loose.
-
Do NOT place bins behind mailboxes, trash cans, or tall grass. Bins must be visible from the road for service. If your bin is not visible, you will NOT be picked up until the following week on your regularly scheduled pick up day.
-
If you live on a busy highway or if your driveway is on a curve, place your bin as close to the road as possible. This helps the drivers see your bin and collect the recycling quickly while in a dangerous situation.
