Bulky Item Collection

Ever wondered what to do with an old couch, mattress, or trash that will not fit into your 90-gallon "green monster" trash can? Here is the answer: please schedule bulky item pickup by calling 311, wait to put the things out until close to the pick up time, and keep the piles neat. Your neighbors will be pleased!

Here are the details from the City of Little Rock's Web site, http://www.littlerock.org/CityDepartments/PublicWorks/solidwaste/:

A separate pick up may be scheduled for bulky items that cannot fit in your household garbage cart.

* Examples of acceptable items for this collection service are: furniture, appliances, lawn furniture, and mattresses.

* Examples of unacceptable items that are restricted from this pick up service are: construction and demolition debris, automotive components, liquid paint, and tires.

Bulky item pick up must be scheduled in advance. To schedule a pick up, call 311.
