Fort Smith residents (pickup, car or SUV, no trailer): $12.47 a load
Trash: $59.35 a ton, $29.67 minimum
Yard waste: $54.75 a ton
Uncovered loads pay double
Cover your load: uncovered loads are charged double. The $12.47 resident rate needs an active city sanitation account in good standing.
A regional landfill: it takes household waste from Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan, Scott and Washington counties, plus two neighboring counties across the state line. Household hazardous waste is taken free at the landfill for Sebastian County residents.
City residential customers with an active sanitation account can call (479) 784-2262 (or email solidwaste@fortsmithar.gov) to schedule the Dial-A-Truck: up to 5 bulky items once every 3 months at no additional fee, such as appliances, couches, tables, chairs and mattresses. More pickups are available for a charge.
The truck won't take bagged or boxed items, glass, mirrors, loose trash, construction debris or tires. Don't set items near mailboxes or gas meters, or under trees or power lines.
Hazardous waste, tires and what the landfill won't take
The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at the landfill is free for Sebastian County residents (not businesses) during landfill hours. Bring products in their original labeled containers: motor oil and filters, antifreeze, car, motorcycle and marine batteries, household batteries, oil-based and latex paint, stains and solvents, over-the-counter pesticides, fluorescent bulbs and ballasts, aerosol cans, and sharps in a heavy clear plastic container. A free reuse building offers usable paint and other products to Fort Smith residents.
The landfill won't take tires unless they're cut and quartered, car batteries, appliances or parts containing Freon, liquids, burn barrels with debris still in them, or gas cans with fuel. For tires, the city points to Westark Tires, 601 Oak Grove Road in Van Buren, (479) 652-3705: $3 a tire, off the rim, Monday through Friday 8 to 4.
Arkansas law keeps whole tires out of landfills unless they're shredded or split, makes it illegal to throw away a car or marine battery, and bans yard waste from landfills. Stores that sell car batteries must take your old one, and charge a $10 deposit if you don't bring one back within 30 days.
