City ends pickup of electronic trash
North Little Rock trash trucks will no longer pick up electronic items because of limits of the local landfill, the city announced on its Facebook page this week.
Electronics, such as televisions, printers and microwaves, should instead be dropped off at 418 West 13th St. on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 a.m. and every third Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.
To dispose of a larger electric item, including air conditioning units and refrigerators, residents should call the North Little Rock Sanitation Department at 501-371-8340.
