Starting March 1st Hot Springs Village has updated certain rules and regulations that accompany the removal of yard waste.

The first thing to know is that a yard waste tag is required for each biodegradable bag that will be picked up. These tags can be purchased at the POA Office as a lot of 5 for $5. The POA office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. to purchase these tags.

Once the bags are purchased and you have filled them with the yard waste you must place them within 5 feet of the edge of the road. The lawn/yard waste bags can be purchased at most hardware stores, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s or even on-line retailers. The yard waste must be in bags and weigh no more than 40 pounds. Each time you set up a collection time there is a limit of 50 bags per collection period. In order to schedule a pickup please complete the online form on our Sanitation and Recycling Page. You can also call the Sanitation Department directly at 501-922- 5524.  Their hours are from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
