Texarkana, Texas curbside recycling

Place accepted material loose in the yellow-lid recycling cart. The city lists empty and rinsed aluminum and tin cans, paper, flattened cardboard and paperboard, and accepted plastic jugs and bottles. Follow the current list on the cart lid because plastic rules may change.

Keep glass, foam, plastic bags, food, liquids, bulbs, batteries, paint, sharp metal, medical waste, household cleaners, and garden chemicals out of the cart. Place the cart at the curb by 7 a.m. with its wheels toward the curb and at least 3 feet from vehicles, mailboxes, and other obstacles.

Use the city address lookup and collection map for the collection day. Call Waste Management at 903-794-4111 or submit a solid-waste request for a missed collection or cart problem.

Other local drop-off options

Paper and cardboard

Greif operates a recycling plant at 112 South Lelia Street. The current location page does not state whether it accepts drop-offs from households. Call 903-793-6231 and ask about material, quantity, hours, and public access before loading the vehicle.

Store programs

Retail programs cover some electronics, ink and toner cartridges, rechargeable batteries, tires, and other products. Use the electronics, tire, and household hazardous-waste guides for confirmed local options and limits.

Arkansas facility search

The Arkansas Recycling Markets Directory lets residents search by city, county, and material. Call a listed facility before travel because the state advises users to confirm acceptance.

Prepare material for the chosen program

  1. Read the current accepted-material list for that cart, store, or facility.
  2. Empty and rinse cans, bottles, and jugs when the program requires it.
  3. Keep paper and cardboard clean and dry.
  4. Flatten cardboard when the program requires it.
  5. Take bags, foam, cords, scrap metal, batteries, and chemicals to a separate confirmed option.
Check first: A recycling symbol does not confirm local acceptance. Use the current cart label or facility list for the exact item.
