Solid Waste

Refuse Collection, Disposal and Recycle

Solid Waste Goals

• Maintain Federal and State laws and regulations, including meeting or exceeding the minimum 25% recycling rate as required
• Meet the needs of the citizens of Warren County
• Strive to be convenient and user friendly
• Promote recycling to reduce waste and protect our environment

Overview

Warren County offers Convenience Site locations for household refuse and recyclables for residents at no charge.  The County has five citizens' Convenience Sites located throughout the County.  Bagged household waste may be disposed of at all locations, while large, bulky items must be taken directly to the Bentonville Convenience Center.  Site attendants are available for guiding residents in proper disposal and recycling and signage is posted at all locations to inform site users of allowable and restricted materials.

Commercial customers may dispose of waste at our Transfer Station also located in Bentonville.  Commercial customers are required to stop at the Scale House to be scaled prior to proceeding to the tipping floor.

Guidance for Disposal of Waste and Recycle Materials

Below you will find a chart that details what waste and/or recycling items are accepted at each of the County sites.  If the item that you are looking for is not listed on the chart, or if you have additional questions, please contact Solid Waste Manager, Jamie Lentz, at (540) 636-0794.

Household Hazardous Waste
