Frequently Asked Questions
Is the City of Clarksville Recycling Center open right now?
Yes. After a brief closure in July 2025 due to illegal dumping, the center reopened on August 1, 2025 with new hours and a staffed model. Current hours are Monday–Friday 6 AM–2 PM and Saturday noon–6 PM. Call (479) 754-6486 to confirm current status.
Does the Clarksville city recycling center take electronics and TVs?
Yes. The Oakland Street center accepts monitors, laptops, desktops, printers, TVs, scanners, phones, and other electronics as part of the Arkansas ADEQ e-waste collection program through the West River Valley Solid Waste District. Drop off during staffed hours so items go into the correct stream.
What is not accepted at the Clarksville Recycling Center?
Household trash is strictly not accepted — illegal dumping of trash at the previously 24/7 site caused the 2025 closure. Bulk scrap metal should go to H & H Recycling on AR-123 or Green Source Recycling on AR-164. Hazardous household waste such as paint and chemicals requires a separate HHW collection event.
Why did Clarksville's recycling center close in 2025?
The center was closed on July 7, 2025 after repeated incidents of residents leaving household trash — and even human waste — at the gates. Mayor David Rieder had previously reduced the 24/7 schedule to weekday daytime hours; the council then approved $20,000 for fencing and cameras, and the center reopened August 1 under a staffed model with the current Saturday afternoon hours added.
