The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Jonesboro collects bagged household trash, recycling and yard waste on one designated day each week, with the cart wheeled out by 6 a.m. and everything sealed inside it because the trucks are automated. What the cart will not take is the part that catches people out: the ordinance forbids bulk waste at the curb, so furniture, bedding, appliances, computers and construction material all travel to the Legacy Landfill at 238 County Road 476 instead, and Jonesboro residents do not pay to drop household solid waste there, with construction material the one exception. The second route for a household clean-out is the city's monthly Community Clean-Up, a free Saturday morning event that takes bulky junk along with glass and paper, and yard waste and limbs have their own schedule on the way to the incinerator on Lacy Drive.
Jonesboro does not collect a mattress at the curb, because the sanitation ordinance forbids bulk waste at the curb and the city will not collect large items such as furniture. Bedding is named in the city's own answer about what to take to the Legacy Landfill, where Jonesboro residents do not pay for household solid waste.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Jonesboro residents hauling household solid waste to the Legacy Landfill; residents do not pay for solid waste disposal there unless the load is construction material.
When & how
Load the unit and drive to the Legacy Landfill at 238 County Road 476, just off Highway 1 South, during gate hours Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and check the landfill holiday closures before a holiday week.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and tarp or otherwise secure the load, because state law requires every load arriving at the landfill to be covered and secured. Take it to the landfill rather than to the curb, where the sanitation crews are instructed not to collect bulk waste.
Furniture leaves Jonesboro on a trailer rather than a truck: the city does not collect large or bulky items like furniture at the curb, and sends them to the Legacy Landfill, where a Jonesboro household load of solid waste is not charged.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Jonesboro residents hauling household solid waste to the Legacy Landfill, which charges residents only for construction material; the monthly Community Clean-Up events are also free to residents.
When & how
Take the furniture to the Legacy Landfill during gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or hold it for the next Community Clean-Up on a Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Get it ready
Tarp or secure the load on the way, and keep it clear of the cart and the curb, because the automated trucks collect only what is inside the city container and the ordinance forbids bulk waste at the curb. A couch that is still usable is worth offering for reuse before it becomes a landfill load.
Appliances go to the Legacy Landfill like the rest of the bulky material, and the landfill has one firm rule for them: an appliance or air conditioning unit has to arrive with its compressor removed. A unit with a sealed system cannot simply be rolled off a trailer.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Jonesboro residents hauling household solid waste to the Legacy Landfill, where residents pay only for construction material loads.
When & how
Deliver during landfill gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and expect the load to be checked at the gate for the compressor rule and for tarping.
Get it ready
Remove the compressor from the appliance or air conditioning unit before the trip, because the landfill refuses units that still have one, and have that work done by someone who can handle refrigerant safely. Tarp and secure the load, empty the unit, and keep the appliance out of the cart and off the curb.
The city answers its own question about computers by pointing at the Legacy Landfill, and the county landfill's recycling page lists two electronics drop-offs: the landfill itself, where fees may apply, and Abilities Unlimited at 806 Burke in Jonesboro, which takes electronics with no fees.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics drop-off at Abilities Unlimited, 806 Burke Avenue in Jonesboro, listed by the county landfill as a no-fee site; the landfill also takes electronics during gate hours with fees that may apply.
When & how
Drop devices at 806 Burke Avenue, or bring them to the Legacy Landfill during gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and confirm the hours of the Burke Avenue site before a first trip.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or reset the device and keep the screen whole, because a broken tube is a handling hazard. Never put electronics in the recycling cart, which takes only paper, cardboard, cans and plastics numbered one and two, and keep them out of the trash container as well.
Construction material is the one residential load the Legacy Landfill charges Jonesboro residents for, and it is also refused in the curbside cart along with boards, drywall, carpet, wood scraps, insulation, rocks, bricks, mortar and concrete.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per load minimum covering the first 420 pounds of construction material at the Legacy Landfill, with the published rate of $44.75 per ton plus 7.5% sales tax above that and a card transaction fee. Jonesboro residents hauling construction material, which is the only residential load the landfill charges for; all business loads are charged, and tipping fees are adjusted each March.
When & how
Deliver during landfill gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and plan the trip around the holiday closures the landfill posts for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the new year.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the trash cart and off the curb, because the city refuses it in collection and the ordinance forbids bulk waste at the curb. Tarp or secure the load to satisfy state law, and separate material at the site if a load is going to the Lake City transfer station instead.
Jonesboro has two bulky routes and neither is the curb. The city's monthly Community Clean-Up takes bulky junk, meaning items too large for a standard trash bin, along with glass and paper recycling, and the Legacy Landfill takes household solid waste from Jonesboro addresses without charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free Community Clean-Up events open to Jonesboro residents, and free household solid waste disposal for Jonesboro residents at the Legacy Landfill; construction material is the only charged residential load.
When & how
Community Clean-Ups run from 8:00 a.m. to noon on a Saturday, generally the first Saturday of the month, with the 2026 schedule alternating between 2650 Lacy Drive and neighbourhood sites, and no event in January 2026. The landfill takes loads Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the load tarped and secured for the landfill, and keep lawn debris out of a clean-up load if the event is at the Lacy Drive site, where lawn debris is not accepted on clean-up Saturdays. Never leave bulk material at the curb, because the ordinance forbids it and the automated trucks only empty the city container.
No Jonesboro page names an exercise machine, and a treadmill is too large for the city cart, so the route is confirmed with the Sanitation Department before the machine is loaded. The two plausible destinations are the monthly Community Clean-Up, which takes bulky junk, and the Legacy Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Community Clean-Up events are free and the landfill does not charge Jonesboro residents for household solid waste, but exercise equipment is not named in either list, so Sanitation confirms the route and any charge at 870-932-7520.
When & how
Call Sanitation at 870-932-7520 before the machine moves, then use the confirmed route on a clean-up Saturday morning from 8:00 a.m. to noon or during landfill gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles and take the console and any battery pack off so the electronics do not travel with the frame. Keep the machine out of the cart and off the curb, and tarp the load for a landfill trip.
Everything goes inside the cart with the lid closed
Bag and tie household trash, put the bags inside the city container with the lid closed, and wheel the cart within five feet of the street edge with the arrows facing out. Put it out no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, keep it five feet from mailboxes and vehicles and out from under basketball goals or high wires, and take it back in within 24 hours.
The sanitation ordinance states plainly that no bulk waste shall be placed curbside and that no bagged or loose trash may sit outside the residential container, and the automated trucks collect only what is inside the cart. Break down boxes and large pieces of cardboard, keep yard waste out of the container and out of a recycling bag, and route furniture, bedding and appliances to the landfill instead.
Yard waste is bagged at 20 pounds and limbs are cut to size
Yard waste goes out twice monthly on the trash day in a paper bag or a reusable container no larger than a 32-gallon can marked Yard Waste, with each bag or container weighing no more than 20 pounds and no sticks larger than two feet long or three inches thick. Limbs are collected once monthly, free of charge, when they are no larger than ten feet long and eight inches across and go out by 6:00 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, with no stumps, trunks, rocks or dirt.
Tarp the load and strip the compressor before the landfill gate
State law requires every load arriving at Legacy Landfill to be tarped and secured, and only waste from Craighead County is accepted. An appliance or air conditioning unit must have its compressor removed before disposal, hydraulic trailers need working batteries, and construction material is the one residential load a Jonesboro address pays for at the gate.
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.
