Special Materials Collection and Disposal

What are Special Materials? 

Special Materials that must be disposed of in Northwest Arkansas include a variety of types of items, many of which are not permitted to be landfilled, and may include  certain types of hazardous waste, especially those that are commonly used in many households but would pose serious potential risks to the environment, and to the health of our citizens, if they were landfilled instead of being collected and disposed of in a safe, appropriate manner.

Special Materials include:

• Household Hazardous Waste - Chemicals, paints, solvents and more
• Waste Tires - Passenger car, truck, and off-road tires
• Waste Batteries - Automotive batteries, cell phone and computer batteries, household batteries
• Waste Oil and Automotive Fluids
• Waste Electronics - Microwaves, TV's, computers and monitors, stereos, etc.
