The Benton County Solid Waste District is one of 18 Regional Solid Waste Management Districts in Arkansas. The Solid Waste Districts are partners in solid waste management activities with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.We strive to promote and support a high quality of life for the citizens of Benton County by providing a comprehensive, responsive, environmentally-safe, efficient, and cost-effective solid waste management program; through the operation and over-sight of an integrated solid waste management system focused on aggressive reduction, reuse and recycling programs and proper disposal of all other solid waste materials.
The Benton County Solid Waste District is a governmental agency responsible for assisting citizens with proper management of solid waste, including all the garbage and recoverable resources created by households, commercial sites (e.g. restaurants, offices, stores), and institutions (e.g. schools, museums, libraries).The District supports integrated waste management options to safely and effectively manage municipal solid waste. An integrated waste management system focuses on the following concepts:
The Bulky Waste Convenience Center, a partnership between the Benton County Judge’s Office and the Solid Waste District, provides scrap metal recycling at no charge but without compensation:If the item was manufactured to contain refrigerant (such as refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, etc.), you will likely need to have the refrigerant recovered before recycling the item. Federal law requires that items manufactured to contain refrigerant must be evacuated by a properly trained and certified technician in order to reduce the risk of the release of refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Recycling is a process through which waste materials can be manufactured into reusable forms. Recycling saves energy and reduces pollution by reducing the need for virgin resources. The purchase of recycled products is the final step in the recycling process.Whether through curbside recycling pickup, drop-off collection centers, or recycling drives, Benton County citizens have many opportunities to recycle.Many cities and municipalities in Benton County have curbside recycling pickup available. Contact your municipal waste hauler or your city administration office for information about the curbside program in your area, if applicable.There are several permanent recycling drop-off centers in Benton County. Typically these facilities allow access to bins for drop-off of household recyclables 24 hours per day.Benton County schools and non-profit agencies often receive discounted recycling collection services. The District offers a recycling pickup program for some areas of the County, and other Recycling Centers also provide similar services.
