Waste Management of Arkansas announces, in partnership with the Carton Council, the creation of a drop-off zone at its Little Rock Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The partnership was created following changes to curbside residential program in Little Rock, North Little Rock and Sherwood. The drop-off zone will give all Arkansas residents the opportunity to recycle their empty food and beverage cartons at no cost.
Located in the Port of Little Rock’s industrial park at 7900 Sloane Drive; Little Rock, AR 72206, the MRF will accept cartons and other recyclable containers Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to adding a container drop-off station, Waste Management also allows for free drop-off of paper, plastic, cardboard and glass items at the MRF.
“Waste Management is a proud member of the Central Arkansas recycling community,” said George Wheatley, senior manager for market planning at Waste Management. “Despite the new challenges facing the recycling industry, we are proud to partner with the community to create new avenues for recycling at the lowest price possible for area residents and customers.”
