Before we can manage solid waste and recyclables, we have to collect them.  For many people living in cities and towns, this comes easy since the community will often provide trash collection services either themselves or with a contracted hauler.   However, many people living in rural areas have a much more difficult time dealing with trash.  This leads to illegal dumping and open burning of trash.  Both of these methods of trash disposal are dangerous and illegal.  No one wants a landfill near them.  Yet thousands of people contribute every day to a growing number of mini-landfills with no safety features that we call illegal dumps.  Burning today's modern trash with the variety of plastics and other chemicals releases toxic substances into the air where everyone gets a chance to breathe them.  So what are rural residents to do?  Fortunately, we are blessed with a number of private haulers in this area who pick up trash door to door.  These businesses provide a valuable service by collecting trash and taking it to regulated disposal or transfer facilities.   Don't know who hauls in your area?  Call the District at 479-846-3005 or click here for the Hauler's Map.
