ANNUAL SPRING CLEANUP

The annual spring cleanup began Tuesday, April 4, for residents of Pea Ridge. Household hazardous wastes will not be accepted.

Items will be received from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, according to Nathan See, superintendent of the Street Department.

The city will not provide curbside pickup.

All participants need to bring a form of identification and proof of city residency.

Items accepted for disposal include furniture, stoves, dishwashers, bicycles, compressed gas cylinders, car batteries, fire extinguishers, washers, dryers, electronic waste, air conditioners and refrigerators (if Freon removed by certified technician) and compressors (accepted as separate items).

Items not accepted are household trash, construction material, anything containing Freon or items too large to fit in dumpster.

There will be a maximum of three trips per household with no exceptions.

Items should be separated into three categories: metal, refuse and brush. Brush needs to be checked in at location then taken to city burn site on Greer Street.

City officials were notified last year that the Benton County Solid Waste District will not accept HHW from community cleanup events. City residents can dispose of HHW on Wednesdays and Fridays at the Rogers location of the County Convenience Center. The satellite convenience center is located at 2300 N. Arkansas St. and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check out gorecycle.us for more information.
