Solid Waste Update from Fair Park Residents Association

The City of Little Rock collects household garbage weekly in a City-provided cart. It is picked up by a garbage truck with a hydraulic arm. Since this is a fully automated system, it is necessary to place the cart with the handle facing away from the street, and no more than 5 feet from the curb, so that the arm will be able to reach it. Also insure that the cart has at least a 3 foot clearance on either side of it.

Please be sure your garbage cart is placed at your collection point by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day, and removed from the street the same day following pick up.

To request a City-provided garbage cart, repair or replacement to an existing cart, call 311.

To request an additional cart at a cost of $7.00 per month with a three month minimum usage period, call 311.

To report a missed garbage pick up, call 311. If you are unable to reach a 311 representative you can call their direct line at 371-4437.
