Do Recycling Right!
NORTH LITTLE ROCK and SHERWOOD
GLASS BOTTLES and JARS
North Little Rock and Sherwood now accept glass food and beverage containers in curbside recycling carts located inside the city limits. For these items to be recycled properly, please make sure the glass bottles and jars are clear, brown or green and are empty. But remember, this service is for North Little Rock and Sherwood residents only.
Residential customers who live in Little Rock, Maumelle and the unincorporated areas of the Pulaski County still must keep glass out of curbside recycling carts.
Available for everyone throughout the county are five Green Stations where glass, old electronics, household hazardous waste, and plastic grocery bags may still be dropped off. Also, empty food and beverage cartons are accepted in curbside carts in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle and the county only, but not at the Jacksonville Green Station.
