Regulating Green Monsters

In case you've wondered when to put out and bring in your "green monster" trash can, here's what Little Rock Ordnances state:

Section 28-18 "…containers shall be stored between collections soas not to i mpede pedestrian or vehicular traffic along sidewalks, alleys, streets, and other right-of-ways."

Section 28-21 "…containers should not be placed out for collection prior to 4:00 p.m. the day preceding the normal collection day. The containers should be removed by midnight the day of completion of solid
waste collection."

Little Rock Solid Waste has a program in place for the elderly and handicapped to help deal with the each person's specific needs.
 
If you know of someone that needs help, all they have to do is call 311, state their problem  and that will begin the process..


Bulky items and garbage that does not fit in the can should not be placed on the curb unless special arrangements are made for pickup by calling 311. If you see large piles of trash, furniture, etc. on the curb, be a good neighbor and call 311 for pickup. The cit will not pick up tires, chemicals, old paint, and certain other items. For more detail, go to the Little Rock Solid Waste website.

Now, the challenge is to get your kids to roll the can out and back in!
