Sanitation Collection
The Maumelle Transfer Station collected 4,920 cubic yards of solid waste and 1,880 cubic yards of green waste in 2009. Our Sanitation Department recently purchased two fully automated trucks in 2009 and implemented fully automated solid waste collection in February 2010. We currently have 15 employees in this department. We provide weekly collection for our residents for household solid waste, yard waste and recyclables. We schedule our collection routes by neighborhoods. Please look at our route schedule to find your scheduled day. We provide sanitation carts for household solid waste, recycle bins for curbside recycling, and yard waste must be bagged, bundled and tied.

Upon request residents may receive a smaller, 65-gallon cart instead. Additional carts are available for a fee by calling 501-851-2888. The 2nd cart requested is an additional $3.50 a month. Any additional carts beyond the first two are billed at $5.00 a month. The wheeled carts are attractive, weather resistant and easy to maneuver, with tight-fitting lids that reduce problems with animals and other pests. Carts must be set out for collection by 7 a.m. on collection day, or after 5 p.m. the previous night. After collection, carts must be removed from the curb before 7 a.m. the following day and stored in a convenient place at your house. The following specifications must be met in order for no interruption in you sanitation services. We will come back at your request for a $10.00 return trip fee.
Only typical household garbage goes into the cart. The garbage must be placed in plastic bags and sealed to prevent litter and to help keep your cart clean. Any garbage outside the trash cart will not be collected. . ORDINANCE NO. 584- Sec. 62.1, “Only items placed within the authorized Maumelle Container will be collected. Additional cans or bags separate from the authorized container will not be collected.” Your options are to take it to the transfer station during operating hours, wait until the next collection day, or schedule a special collection by calling 501-851-2888. Please see below for details. Do not put yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, or tree trimmings in the cart. Those items will be picked up by a different crew on the scheduled yard waste collection days. Do not put lumber, shingles, rocks, dirt, and other household building debris in the cart. These items can be scheduled for collection by calling Public Works at 501-851-2888. Do not place hot coals from your barbecue grill in the garbage cart.
