City collection Pine Bluff's provider publishes a weekly brush and bulky item service but does not name furniture, so a couch, dresser or table is not covered by a written item rule and needs a call before it goes to the curb. No furniture charge is published, because the operator does not name furniture as a collected item. Call CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 to confirm that the piece will be taken with the weekly brush and bulky item service and whether any charge applies.
City collection Neither the city nor its waste provider names mattresses, and no mattress rule or fee is published, so a mattress has to be confirmed before it goes out with the brush and bulky item pile. No mattress rate is published. Call CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 to confirm that a mattress will be collected with the weekly brush and bulky item service and whether any charge applies.
City collection Appliances cannot go in the operator's containers, and no curbside pickup route for them is published, so a refrigerator, washer or dryer has to be confirmed with the operator and the county before it moves. No appliance charge is published anywhere for Pine Bluff. Call CARDS at (870) 399-7463 to ask about a pickup and the Jefferson County Recycling office at (870) 850-0235 to ask whether the e-waste hub will take the unit, since its published checklist names small appliances rather than large ones.
City collection Brush and bulky material is collected weekly on the same day as the residential service, with each residence allowed about four cubic yards, described by the operator as roughly four carts of material. No charge. The weekly brush and bulky item allowance is part of the residential collection service that is billed through the water bill, and no separate charge is published for material inside the four cubic yard limit. An overflowing container is a different case and carries a one-time fee.
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?
Pine Bluff contracts its residential waste collection to CARDS Recycling & Waste Management, which took over the city routes on November 1, 2025 and bills residential service through the water bill. Each household receives a 96-gallon cart for weekly garbage, and the same weekly route takes a pile of brush and bulky material of up to about four cubic yards. Appliances, electronics, paint, chemicals, batteries and medical waste stay out of the carts, and electronics have their own county drop-off on East Harding.
Household garbage is collected once a week in the 96-gallon cart the city's provider issues, and everything has to be inside the container with the lid closed.
City cost & eligibility
Residential collection is paid through the water bill rather than per pickup, and no per pickup rate is published. Confirm the current residential charge and billing with CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463.
When & how
Weekly on your scheduled service day, with the cart out the night before or before 4 a.m. that morning depending on the neighborhood. Pickups can run as late as 7 p.m. on the service day.
Get it ready
Bag the garbage, keep everything inside the cart with the lid shut, set the cart upright on a hard, flat and level surface, and leave three feet of clearance on all sides with the opening facing the curb and the handle toward the home.
Brush and bulky material is collected weekly on the same day as the residential service, with each residence allowed about four cubic yards, described by the operator as roughly four carts of material.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly brush and bulky item allowance is part of the residential collection service that is billed through the water bill, and no separate charge is published for material inside the four cubic yard limit. An overflowing container is a different case and carries a one-time fee.
When & how
Same day as the weekly residential collection. Stack the material three feet away from the cart so the crews can reach both, and keep it out of the street.
Get it ready
Place the pile neatly, keep it clear of the cart, mailboxes, poles, vehicles and landscaping, and do not block the sidewalk. Anything beyond the four cubic yard allowance has to be arranged with the operator.
Pine Bluff's provider publishes a weekly brush and bulky item service but does not name furniture, so a couch, dresser or table is not covered by a written item rule and needs a call before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture charge is published, because the operator does not name furniture as a collected item. Call CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 to confirm that the piece will be taken with the weekly brush and bulky item service and whether any charge applies.
When & how
No published collection day for furniture. Confirm first, then set the piece out with the weekly brush and bulky item pile on the same day as the residential service.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the cart and off the sidewalk, and place it with the rest of the pile three feet from the cart once the operator confirms the pickup.
Neither the city nor its waste provider names mattresses, and no mattress rule or fee is published, so a mattress has to be confirmed before it goes out with the brush and bulky item pile.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published. Call CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 to confirm that a mattress will be collected with the weekly brush and bulky item service and whether any charge applies.
When & how
No published collection day for a mattress. Confirm first, then put it out on your weekly collection day with the rest of the bulky material.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the cart, and place it neatly with the pile three feet from the cart only after the pickup is confirmed.
Appliances cannot go in the operator's containers, and no curbside pickup route for them is published, so a refrigerator, washer or dryer has to be confirmed with the operator and the county before it moves.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance charge is published anywhere for Pine Bluff. Call CARDS at (870) 399-7463 to ask about a pickup and the Jefferson County Recycling office at (870) 850-0235 to ask whether the e-waste hub will take the unit, since its published checklist names small appliances rather than large ones.
When & how
No published collection day for appliances. Ask both offices before the unit leaves the house, and do not add it to the cart or the bulky item pile.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of the cart, because the operator's container rules refuse appliances. Ask about refrigerant handling before the unit is moved, and never leave a refrigerator or freezer accessible with the door on.
Electronics and appliances are refused in the operator's containers, and Jefferson County Recycling runs an electronic waste collection hub that names computers, televisions, game consoles and small appliances on its accepted checklist.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no fee for the e-waste hub, so call the Recycling Department at (870) 850-0235 before a trip to confirm acceptance and any charge for the device.
When & how
The main facility at 1800 East Harding, behind Pope Furniture, is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and there is a self-service drop-off at the Jefferson County Road Department, 3304 W. 7th Ave.
Get it ready
Bring items pre-sorted, as the county asks. Keep electronics out of the garbage cart because the operator refuses them, and ask about televisions specifically, since the county checklist names them but the state agency notes that Arkansas has not put its landfill ban into effect.
The city code does not obligate the city or its contractors to remove debris from demolition, construction or repair work, or wood and limbs from tree removal on private property, and the operator sells roll-off containers for project material instead.
City cost & eligibility
No disposal rate is published for project material. The operator rents roll-off containers for construction, renovation and demolition debris and quotes the container cost, so confirm the size, the price and the accepted material before ordering.
When & how
No curbside collection day for this material. Project debris moves through a rented container or the contractor, and qualifying wood from your own yard must be bundled and tied.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition debris out of the cart and the bulky item pile. Wood waste that is collected must be bundled and tied, no more than two inches in diameter and three feet long, and it is the property owner's responsibility to remove debris from tree service or contractor work.
Neither the city nor its waste provider names exercise equipment, so a treadmill, elliptical or weight bench is not covered by a published item rule and needs a call before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for exercise equipment. Call CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 to confirm whether the machine will be taken with the weekly brush and bulky item service or needs another arrangement.
When & how
No published collection day for this item. Confirm first, then set the machine out with the bulky item pile on your weekly service day if it is approved.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights and accessories, drain anything holding water or oil, and keep the machine out of the cart while you wait for an answer.
Carts can go out the night before the scheduled pickup, as early as 6 p.m., or before 4 a.m. on the morning of collection, depending on the neighborhood. Pickup crews can run until 7 p.m. on the service day, so a late cart is not necessarily a missed one.
Face the opening to the curb and leave three feet around the cart
Set the cart on a hard, flat, level surface with the opening facing the curb and the handle toward the home, leave three feet of space on all sides so the automated arm can reach it, keep it upright with the lid closed, and keep it clear of mailboxes, poles, vehicles and landscaping. Do not place containers back to back or block the sidewalk.
Brush and bulky items are serviced weekly on the same day as the residential collection, and each residence is allowed about four cubic yards, which the operator describes as roughly four carts. Stack the material neatly three feet away from the cart so the truck can reach both, and keep it out of the street and off the sidewalk.
Residential collection in Pine Bluff is paid through the water bill, and the city code requires a monthly sanitation fee for each occupied residence, collected by the waterworks company on the residential meter. The fee is not refunded for time when a residence sits empty unless the water service is disconnected.
Wood waste that is collected has to be bundled and tied rather than bagged, no more than two inches in diameter and three feet long. Debris from tree removal on private property, like other work done by a tree service or contractor, is the property owner's responsibility to remove.
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.

County electronic waste collection hub
Households with televisions, computers, game consoles or small appliances that the curbside container rules refuse.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes no fee for the e-waste hub, so call the Recycling Department at (870) 850-0235 to confirm acceptance and any charge before loading.
Arrange it
Bring pre-sorted items to 1800 East Harding, behind Pope Furniture, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., or use the self-service drop-off at the Jefferson County Road Department, 3304 W. 7th Ave.
The published checklist names computers, televisions, game consoles and small appliances, and does not list large appliances such as refrigerators, washers or dryers, so confirm those separately.

Roll-off container for a project load
Households or contractors with construction, renovation, demolition or large landscaping debris that cannot go in the cart or the bulky item pile.
Cost & conditions
No container price is published. The operator quotes roll-off rental and disposal together for the project, so confirm the size, the price and the accepted material before ordering.
Arrange it
Call the local CARDS team to choose a container size for the volume and weight of the debris, then have the container delivered and collected when the project is done.
The container is for project material and is subject to the operator's refusal list, which covers hazardous waste, electronics and appliances, flammable material and medical waste.
Self haul is allowed in Pine Bluff: the city code bars anyone other than the city and its contractors from collecting or hauling waste over city streets, but it lets the owner or producer of the refuse carry it to a properly licensed disposal facility in their own vehicle, and it warns that using an unauthorized hauler carries penalties under the city's contract provisions. The practical drop-off in the city is the county's electronic waste hub at 1800 East Harding behind Pope Furniture, open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with a self-service site at the Jefferson County Road Department on West 7th Avenue, and the county asks that everything arrive pre-sorted. Call the Recycling Department at (870) 850-0235 before a trip, and call CARDS at (870) 399-7463 for anything that would have gone in the cart or the bulky item pile.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How much brush and bulky material can go out at once?+
Each residence is allowed about four cubic yards, which the operator describes as roughly four carts. Brush and bulky items are serviced weekly on the same day as the regular collection, and they should be stacked neatly three feet from the residential cart.Official guidance
What happens if my cart is overflowing?+
Call your local CARDS district office. The operator can arrange an extra pickup, a larger container or a different collection frequency, and it states that it will service an overflowing container, dispose of the extra waste and charge a one-time fee, with a follow-up call if the overflow keeps happening.Official guidance
Will CARDS pick up a couch at the curb?+
The operator publishes a weekly brush and bulky item service with a four cubic yard limit, but it does not name furniture, so treat a couch as unconfirmed and call CARDS at (870) 399-7463 first. The container rules only name what cannot go in the cart, which is why the piece has to be confirmed with the local office.Official guidance
Can an appliance go in the trash cart?+
No. The operator states that appliances and electronic waste cannot go in its containers, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer or similar unit has to be handled separately rather than set out with the household garbage.Official guidance
Where can a large appliance go in Pine Bluff?+
No pickup route is published, so this one takes two calls. Ask CARDS customer service at (870) 399-7463 whether it will collect the unit, and ask the Jefferson County Recycling office at (870) 850-0235 whether the East Harding e-waste hub will accept it, because the county checklist names small appliances rather than refrigerators, washers or dryers.Official guidance
Where can a television or computer go in Pine Bluff?+
Jefferson County Recycling runs an electronic waste collection hub at 1800 East Harding, behind Pope Furniture, open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with a self-service drop-off at the Jefferson County Road Department on West 7th Avenue. Its checklist names computers, televisions, game consoles and small appliances, and the office number is (870) 850-0235.Official guidance
Can electronics go in the trash cart?+
No. The operator's container rules refuse electronic waste and appliances along with hazardous waste, flammable material and medical waste, so electronics have to go to the county hub or another recycling program instead of the curbside cart.Official guidance
Who runs waste collection in Pine Bluff?+
CARDS Recycling & Waste Management took over residential and business collection for the city on November 1, 2025, and residential service is billed through the water bill. The local customer service line is (870) 399-7463, and the city page carries the transition details and the operator's Pine Bluff service page.Official guidance
Is there a bulky item pickup in Pine Bluff?+
Yes, in the form of a weekly brush and bulky item service on the same day as the regular collection, with about four cubic yards allowed per residence. The operator does not publish a list of which household items qualify, so confirm furniture, mattresses and exercise equipment at (870) 399-7463 before setting them out.Official guidance
