Every Arkansas rate we've verified is side by side in our guide to what it costs to dump in Arkansas.
Garland County's Environmental Services collects household trash weekly from homes outside the city limits of Hot Springs, Mountain Pine and Hot Springs Village, for $18 a month per cart. Residential customers get bulky waste pickup free twice a year (from mixed loads it picks up only metal and large upholstered furniture); extra pickups are $100 each.
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.
