Recycling in Batesville: A Local Guide
Batesville, the seat of Independence County, has four distinct recycling and waste facilities that together cover most household and commercial needs — but each serves a different purpose, so knowing which to visit saves a wasted trip. The Independence County Recycling Center at 110 Environmental Drive is the only free public drop-off for everyday materials: paper, cardboard, plastics, aluminum and tin cans, glass, and electronics with microchips. It is open Monday through Thursday, 7 AM to 5 PM — no weekend hours.
Right next door on Environmental Drive, the IESI Batesville City Transfer Station (now operated by Waste Connections) handles solid waste and construction debris from residents and commercial haulers, Monday through Friday. It is a transfer station, not a recycling facility, so bags of trash go there rather than sorted recyclables.
For residents with scrap metal — copper pipe, aluminum, brass fittings, steel — Walker Recycling Inc. (JW & Sons Scrap) at 2250 N Saint Louis has bought ferrous and non-ferrous metals from individuals and contractors for over 40 years. Hours are Monday through Thursday only. If you have a junk car to get rid of, Cash For Cars Arkansas at 100 Community Drive offers free towing and same-day pickup, seven days a week.
Independence County's recycling program also provides free waste-reduction technical assistance to local businesses and schools — contact the recycling center plant manager at (870) 793-8892 to arrange a consultation. Residents in nearby Arkansas communities can also explore options in Heber Springs, Searcy, Newport, and Mountain Home.
