Recycling in Jonesboro, Arkansas

The City of Jonesboro Sanitation Department runs its own trucks, collecting trash, recycling, and yard waste on your assigned day, Monday through Friday. Recycling is a cart residents buy from the city, emptied twice a month by a yellow or orange sticker schedule. Glass and cardboard go to the city incinerator at 2650 Lacy Drive, and Legacy Landfill takes bulky loads from Craighead County.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is recycling collected in Jonesboro?

Twice a month on your regular trash day. A yellow sticker on your recycling cart means the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month, and an orange sticker means the 2nd and 4th weeks. Holiday and bad-weather changes go up on the City of Jonesboro Arkansas Official Page on Facebook. Households without a recycling cart buy one from the city to start service.

What can go in my Jonesboro recycling cart?

#1 and #2 plastics, aluminum and steel cans, newspaper, office paper, junk mail, and corrugated or light cardboard. Glass is not on the cart list. Bring glass bottles and jars to the city incinerator site at 2650 Lacy Drive.

Where do I recycle glass and cardboard in Jonesboro?

At the city incinerator, 2650 Lacy Drive, during open hours. The monthly neighborhood clean-ups also take glass and cardboard on the first Saturday of each month, 8:00 AM to noon. The location changes every month, and Keep Jonesboro Beautiful posts it on Facebook.

How does yard waste pickup work in Jonesboro?

The city picks up yard waste twice a month on your trash day, in paper bags or reusable containers up to 32 gallons, labeled "YARD WASTE" and under 20 pounds each. Sticks must be under 2 feet long and 3 inches thick. City residents also dump green waste free at 2650 Lacy Drive with a driver's license and proof of residency, such as a utility bill.

Where do I take tires and big loads in Jonesboro?

Legacy Landfill, 238 CR 476, is open 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to noon Saturday, and it accepts only Craighead County waste. Jonesboro residents pay nothing to dump household solid waste there, but construction material costs. On Saturdays residents can bring 1 to 4 tires, and commercial customers cannot bring any.

Why was my Jonesboro trash not picked up?

The automated trucks skip anything outside the cart. Bag and tie all trash, put it inside the cart with the lid closed, and have the cart at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day. For a one-time overflow after a holiday or special occasion, call the Sanitation Department at 870-932-7520.

Recycling tips for Jonesboro

  • •Put tree limbs at the curb by 6:00 AM on the Monday of your collection week, cut to 10 feet long and 8 inches across or less.
  • •Liquid paint, tires, oil, batteries, and compressed gas cylinders never go in the trash cart.
  • •Households that regularly overflow the trash cart have to buy a second cart or a recycling cart.
  • •Tarp or tie down every load to Legacy Landfill. Arkansas law requires it.
  • •Lake City Transfer Station refuses tires, so take them straight to Legacy Landfill.
