EARTH ANGEL

The Earth Angel Recycling Program is the city’s curbside recycling service. It is provided free of charge as part of the services provided by the Hot Springs Solid Waste Department. Recycling is the best way to protect the environment from overburdened landfills while reducing costs. By taking part in the Earth Angel Recycling Program, city residents have the opportunity to help ensure a healthy future for the community.

The Earth Angel truck collects aluminum cans, brown paper grocery bags, corrugated cardboard, leaves, grass and small brush, newsprint, plastic grades No. 1 and No. 2, and telephone books.

To participate in the Earth Angel Recycling Program, call the Solid Waste Department at 501-321-6911 or sign up online at http://www.cityhs.net/recycle-registration. The city will furnish the container and a calendar of scheduled collection days. The container should be placed curbside prior to 6 a.m. for pickup.
