Q
How
do I get a bin for recycling or to replace a damaged
bin?
A
Call
Waste Management at 501-570-1299
Q
How
do I recycle?
A
It's
simple. Put all newspapers and magazines in a
brown paper sack. All cans, glass and plastic
can be placed in the recycling basket provided to each
customer. The bag of paper may be placed in the
basket if there is enough room, or sometimes may lay
on top of the other materials. (Please be careful all
items are secure from wind so you don't litter.) Corrugated
cardboard should be flattened and placed underneath
the recycling bin.
If
you routinely have too much material to fit in one bin,
call Waste Management at 501-570-1299 to request that
they deliver a second bin. For rare occurences, either
save excess materials for pickup the following week,
or you may take them to the Drop-off Recycling Center.
