Recycling in Pine Bluff: A Local Guide

Pine Bluff and Jefferson County are served by a mix of public and private recycling options. The anchor is Jefferson County Recycling at 1800 E Harding Ave B, a free county-run drop-off that takes plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and steel cans, and e-waste Monday through Friday and on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. No residency proof is required, making it the first stop for most Pine Bluff households.

For residents with scrap metal to sell, Johnson's Metal Recyclers at 2000 Sturgis Rd has operated as a family-owned scrap yard for over 30 years. The yard pays cash for copper, aluminum, brass, steel, cast iron, and other metals Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4 PM. It is not equipped to accept paper, glass, or electronics.

Owners of junk or wrecked vehicles can turn to Steve's Auto Salvage at 4401 W Barraque St, which buys cars for scrap and also sells used auto parts. The yard is open Monday through Friday 9 AM–5 PM and Saturday until 1 PM. The WM Jefferson County Landfill on Gravel Pit Road handles non-hazardous commercial and municipal solid waste for contracted haulers — it is not a public drop-off for household recyclables.

For expanded recycling options nearby, see El Dorado, Arkadelphia, and Forrest City. For statewide guidance on household hazardous waste collection events, the Arkansas recycling directory lists programs run through the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment.
