Sanitation
Residential Recycling
The Department of Sanitation provides residential recycling collection to single-family residences utilizing paid green-cart curbside garbage collection and in good standing with Conway Corporation utilities. This service includes one 96-gallon blue curbside recycling cart with weekly collection. Curbside recycling collection occurs throughout the Conway city limits on Mondays only.
- Citizens residing in multi-family complexes where green-cart service is not utilized are encouraged to bring recyclables directly to the city facility without charge.
- A residential account with Conway Corporation must be active before collection can begin.
- With your utility garbage collection, residential recycling and yard waste services are provided at no additional charge.
