City collection Furniture and outdoor grills are named by the city as bulky items that can be removed through a special arrangement. The city does not publish a per-item bulky charge, so confirm the amount for your furniture or grill when you call Dial-A-Truck on 479-784-2350.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are among the bulky items the city removes through a special arrangement. No published mattress rate exists on the city pages, so confirm the amount on 479-784-2350 when you schedule the removal.
City collection Appliances are removed through a bulky item arrangement, but the regional landfill refuses appliances and parts that still contain Freon. The city does not publish an appliance removal rate, and refrigerant handling can change the route, so confirm both with the department on 479-784-2350.
City collection Solid Waste Services collects residential trash once a week from Fort Smith households, with collection days and times varying by address. Solid Waste Services is an enterprise fund paid for by service fees rather than by a per-pickup charge, so confirm any cart or account question with the department on 479-784-2350.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fort Smith collects residential trash weekly and yard waste every other week, and it runs bulky item removal through a Dial-A-Truck line rather than an automatic curbside route. This guide covers what the department takes, how couches, mattresses, appliances and electronics move, where tires really have to go, and what the regional landfill accepts at the resident discount.
Solid Waste Services collects residential trash once a week from Fort Smith households, with collection days and times varying by address.
City cost & eligibility
Solid Waste Services is an enterprise fund paid for by service fees rather than by a per-pickup charge, so confirm any cart or account question with the department on 479-784-2350.
When & how
Weekly on your route day, which is set by the collection map for your address.
Get it ready
Use the cart assigned to the address and check your collection day on the department map before set-out day, because routes differ across the city.
Grass clippings, small sticks and leaves are yard waste, while larger limbs count as brush and are handled on a separate scheduled haul.
City cost & eligibility
Yard waste runs through the department's cart service while brush removal is quoted per job, so the amount for a specific pile has to come from the department on 479-784-2350.
When & how
Yard waste is picked up curbside every other week on a cart you request from the department. Brush is hauled off by appointment after an estimate.
Get it ready
Request a yard waste cart for the grass and leaves, and cut brush down yourself to no more than eight feet long and one foot wide, then call to schedule the estimate for removal.
Couches, appliances, furniture, outdoor grills, mattresses, box springs and other large objects are removed through a special arrangement rather than the weekly route.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the Dial-A-Truck number but not a bulky item price list, so the amount for your items has to be confirmed on 479-784-2350.
When & how
Scheduled by phone on the Dial-A-Truck line, 479-784-2350, and never collected on the normal trash day.
Get it ready
Call the Dial-A-Truck line, describe the items and get the pickup scheduled before anything goes to the curb.
Appliances are removed through a bulky item arrangement, but the regional landfill refuses appliances and parts that still contain Freon.
City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish an appliance removal rate, and refrigerant handling can change the route, so confirm both with the department on 479-784-2350.
When & how
Scheduled on the Dial-A-Truck line, and the refrigerant requirement applies to anything that goes to the landfill instead.
Get it ready
Book the pickup on 479-784-2350 and ask how the refrigerant in a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner has to be handled before the item leaves your property.
Electronics can be scheduled for curbside pickup through Dial-A-Truck or dropped off free at the Solid Waste Services facility, which takes tube televisions up to 27 inches and flat screens of any size.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Resident e-waste drop-off at the Solid Waste Services facility is free, and the department does not accept e-waste from businesses. Business computers are handled separately by the county district for a fee.
When & how
Curbside by Dial-A-Truck appointment on 479-784-2350, or drop-off during facility hours.
Get it ready
Book the pickup or load the car for the drop-off. Household computers are also accepted through the county district's drop-off center at the Fort Smith landfill, with two household computers per year free for Sebastian County residents.
The city does not accept tires in its collection service, and the regional landfill only takes them cut and quartered.
City cost & eligibility
Fort Smith has no curbside tire service. The city instead publishes a district tire collection point in Van Buren and the West River Valley Regional Solid Waste Management District program line.
When & how
Never collected at the curb or on the weekly route.
Get it ready
Use the tire collection point the city points residents to at 601 Oak Grove Road in Van Buren, and take the tires off the rim before the trip.
The city does not publish a curbside route for construction and demolition debris, so the material moves through the regional landfill or a scheduled removal instead.
City cost & eligibility
Landfill pricing is set by ordinance and depends on the vehicle and the account, and the city does not publish a curbside rate for construction debris, so confirm the amount before you haul.
When & how
Outside the weekly trash and yard waste routes.
Get it ready
Sort the load and confirm the route before hauling: the regional landfill takes debris from its listed counties for a fee, while household bulky removal is booked separately on 479-784-2350.
Couches, mattresses, appliances, grills and electronics are only removed after a Dial-A-Truck booking on 479-784-2350. Nothing in that list is collected on the normal trash day, so schedule first and set out on the appointment day.
Brush has to be cut down by the resident to no more than eight feet long and one foot wide before the department will haul it. Grass, leaves and small sticks belong in a yard waste cart that you request from the department, and yard waste runs every other week rather than weekly.
Household chemicals stay in original labelled containers
Batteries, cleaners, pesticides, oil-based paints, solvents, pool chemicals, motor oil and sharps all go to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at the Department of Solid Waste Services. Everything must carry its original label, and the facility turns away unlabelled or unknown products.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
