Rules at the gate

Legacy Landfill takes waste from Craighead County only, and every load has to be tarped or secured. Appliances and air conditioners must have the compressor removed before you bring them, at the landfill or at Lake City. Hydraulic trailers need working batteries; hand jacks aren't allowed. On Saturdays residents can bring 1 to 4 tires, but commercial tires aren't taken.

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.
