Do Recycling Right!

Beginning Monday, March 2, 2020

NEW ITEM ACCEPTED AT GREEN STATIONS
Drop Off and Recycle Plastic Grocery Bags

​

We now accept plastic grocery bags at any one of the District’s five Green Stations.

​

Collect your plastic grocery bags at home and drop them off at the days and times Green Stations are open, and we’ll recycle them for FREE.

​

(Never put plastic grocery bags or any other plastic wrap or film in your curbside cart.)

Your recycling just got easier. How? Because doing recycling right means remembering only three simple steps: The first step is to only put plastic bottles and jugs with the caps on them in your recycling cart. And make sure these plastic containers are empty, with no liquid or food residue in them. The second step is to only put aluminum, steel and tin cans in your cart. Again, empty. And finally, the third step is to only put paper, cardboard, newspapers, junk mail, and paperboard boxes in your cart. If you put cereal boxes in the cart, remember to remove the plastic liner. It should go in the trash. And remember to break down and flatten out all cardboard boxes to fit inside your cart.

GREEN STATION UPDATE

Due to the current health issue regarding the coronavirus, the Jacksonville and Sherwood Green Stations have temporarily suspended drop-off collections. Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Maumelle Green Stations are continuing to collect glass, household hazardous waste, electronics, and plastic grocery bags at their drop-off locations on their regular days and hours of operations. Please see operational information, below.
