Legacy Landfill

Our Mission

Using the principles of RECYCLE, REDUCE, REUSE, to fully represent and serve the citizens of Craighead county in the safe, efficient, economical, and lawful disposal of solid waste that results in 'shielding our natural resources thru proper disposal.'

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL HISTORY

The Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act (Act 237) of 1971 defined the responsibilities and authority for local political bodies to manage their solid waste streams and the rules and regulations that govern those bodies. Our company was born out of this act, and had evolved over the years through different names, different service areas, different management, and different staffs to what it is today.The Authority serves the citizens of CRAIGHEAD County in accepting the solid waste stream and lawfully recycling, re-using, or disposing of it. The long term benefits to the current and future citizens are a clean environment, safe water supply, and general healthy quality of life.

How Am I Charged?

• If the material is coming from your home inside the City limits of Jonesboro, and you DO NOT have any kind of construction/remodeling materials (sheet rock, 2X4's, fencing, cabinets, shingles, and flooring excluding carpet, etc.) then there is no charge.
• If the material is construction/remodeling, (even if it is from your residence), or if it is from a business or out in the county, then there will be charges as follows:
• Minimum charge = $11.00 plus 7.5% sales tax for less than 600 pounds . $36.75 plus 7.5% sales tax per ton 

What if I need to dispose of tires?

• Each licensed driver in Craighead County is allowed 4 passenger tires per MONTH at NO CHARGE
• There is a charge of $2 per tire for any over the 4 allowed per month
• If the tires are from a business, there will be a charge for each tire brought to the landfill (businesses are NOT eligible for the 4 exempt tires)
• Passenger Tires - $2/each
• Truck Tires - $5.75/each
• Specialty Tires - $15/each

How do I dispose of paint?

• If the paint cans are completely empty, bring them to the landfill
• If there is still paint in the cans, remove the lids and fill them with dirt, oil dry, or kitty litter. Leave the lids off for 48-72 hours. This will harden the paint enough that it should be able to be disposed of in the landfill. Replace the lid and bring it to the landfill and we can determine if it is acceptable.
