Recycling in Hot Springs: A Local Guide
Hot Springs has two distinct recycling options on opposite ends of the spectrum. The City of Hot Springs Recycling Drop Off Center at 218 Runyon Street is a free municipal facility operated as part of the Earth Angel Recycling Program. Its outdoor bins are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — no ID or residency requirement — for aluminum cans, corrugated cardboard, glass bottles and jars, mixed paper, and plastics #1 and #2. A staffed counter at the same address, open weekdays 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, also takes e-waste including computers, monitors, TVs, keyboards, and small electronics. Contact the city Solid Waste division at (501) 321-6911 with questions.
If you want to turn scrap metal into cash rather than donate it, Cobb Recycling Ca$H For Cans at 919 Gaines Ave pays cash by weight for aluminum cans and other scrap metal. This is a private buyer, not a municipal service — it does not accept glass, plastics, or paper. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM; closed Sunday and Monday. Call (501) 617-3035 before your trip to verify current prices.
