Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Searcy switch from curbside to drop-off recycling?

In 2025, Searcy ended curbside recycling pickup after an 80% contamination rate made the program economically unsustainable — the city spent over $526,000 but recovered only $109,000. The drop-off center has far lower contamination because residents sort materials themselves. The change took effect October 6, 2025.

Does the Searcy Recycling Center accept all plastic types?

No. Only plastic bottles and jugs with the #1 or #2 recycling symbol and a neck are accepted. Plastics #3 through #7, plastic bags, and wide-mouth containers like butter tubs are not accepted.

Can I drop off my old TV or computer at Searcy Recycling Center?

Yes. E-waste including televisions and computers must be brought directly to the recycling center at 409 W. Beebe Capps Expressway during regular hours. Electronics are not picked up at curbside. Call (501) 279-1000 for current e-waste acceptance details.
