Click here to read the press release

On September 2nd, we were honored to receive the 2026 Community Involvement Award from the Arkansas Recycling Coalition for the Springdale Recycling Education and Outreach Project completed last year in partnership with the City of Springdale, Ecowaste Solutions, and the national recycling nonprofit, The Recycling Partnership.

“Recycling works best when we all know what belongs in the bin and why it matters.  Through this initiative, we hope to give Springdale residents the information and confidence they need to recycle the right way and help keep valuable materials out of the landfill.” - Mayor Doug Sprouse, City of Springdale, Arkansas

We could not have done this project without support from the City of Springdale and Ecowaste Solutions, support and guidance from The Recycling Partnership, and of course excitement and engagement from Springdale residents!

Rural Recycling Bins are Back!

Boston Mountain Solid Waste District is happy to announce that we again have recycling bins to make bringing your recyclables to a drop-off location easy! The side of the bin tells you what you can recycle (items like bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard). These free, 18-gallon recycling bins are for residents who do not have curbside recycling and want to take their recyclables to one of our rural recycling drop-offs.

Come pick up a recycling bin at our office in Prairie Grove or at one of our monthly recycling drop-offs in Goshen, Elkins, or Winslow.
