Dumpster Rental in Centerton, AR

Permits, placement and who may haul in Centerton

Who may haul — we check first: Centerton's code lets the City contract for “an exclusive franchise for the collection of solid waste from residential living units within the corporate limits of the city” (§ 5.08.01, Ord. 2026-06), says “participation by residential living units within the city is hereby made mandatory” (§ 5.08.04), and makes failing to stay enrolled a misdemeanor (§§ 5.08.05, 5.08.06). We found no franchise, permit or contract rule for commercial, construction or roll-off hauling, and the code doesn't say whether the residential franchise covers a homeowner's temporary roll-off. A Centerton business licence is required to do business in the city (§ 4.04.02). We check the City's rules before booking a container in Centerton. We're licensed and insured.

Building sites: “All owners, contractors and developers of lots or other real property within the city limits of the city of Centerton, Arkansas, shall install on each building site a covered container … that is a minimum of 50 cubic feet”, anchored to stay upright, and “This container must be installed before any request to set a temporary electrical meter on such site will be approved” (§ 5.05.02). Debris outside it stops inspections until the site is cleaned (§ 5.05.03(B)), and building rubbish may not be left uncontained on streets, rights-of-way or construction sites (§ 5.04.08).

Demolition and house moves: the fee schedule says a demolition permit “Requires a 20-yard minimum dumpster on site”, and house-moving and manufactured-home permits need a 20-yard minimum dumpster and proof of an Arkansas DOT permit (§ 11.20.03(F)(2)–(3)). Check current permit fees with the City.

In the street: no motor vehicle, trailer “or any other equipment or machinery” may be left parked on a street or alley for more than twelve hours (§ 8.16.01); the code doesn't say whether a container counts. We found no dumpster or temporary right-of-way permit — the right-of-way chapter covers excavation only (Ch. 9.04). Driveway first. You don't need to be home as long as we know where the container goes and the spot is clear of vehicles and obstacles. Leave about 60 feet of clear approach for the truck and about 25 feet of overhead clearance, free of power lines and branches. Our smaller containers fit easily in most driveways, and we use boards when needed to protect the driveway.

Trucks and hours: trucks over 32,000 lb GVW with no business in town keep to highways and truck routes, and trucks making deliveries or pickups take the shortest route (§ 8.08.01); loading or handling containers between 10 p.m. and dawn that disturbs a residential area is prohibited (§ 7.44.02(G)).

County hauler rules: Arkansas leaves hauler licensing to its regional solid waste districts (8 CAR § 60-202). Benton County's district rules say “A person who engages in hauling solid waste within Benton County must obtain a license from the district” to collect solid waste in the district or transport it for disposal or storage there (8 CAR § 110-603(b)); every roll-off container must show the business name and phone number “in letters no less than four inches … high on at least two (2) sides of the unit” (§ 110-612(b)(4)); and a District licence “does not supersede any local government's issuance of an exclusive franchise for hauling within its boundaries” (§ 110-609(d)) — which is why the local rules on this page matter.

State highways: Arkansas holds state highway rights-of-way “inviolate for state highway purposes” (Ark. Code § 27-67-304(a)), and we found no ArDOT permit for setting a container on one — so a container never goes in the right-of-way of I-49, US-71, US-62, US-412 or a state route such as AR-12, AR-72, AR-102 or AR-112. Beside one, it goes on private property.

Covered loads: in Benton County, haulers' vehicles with open storage areas “must be tarped when traveling in excess of thirty-five miles per hour (35 m.p.h.)” (8 CAR § 110-612(b)(2)(B)), and state law bars driving any vehicle that isn't loaded so as to prevent its load from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping (Ark. Code § 27-35-110(a)). Keep debris below the top rim — if it's overfilled, we can't legally haul it.

Remodel or tear-down: Arkansas' Asbestos Abatement Rule (20 CAR pt. 860) leaves residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units out of its definition of a facility (§ 860-104(32)(A)), though disposal rules can still apply. For other buildings, the owner or operator has the building inspected for asbestos before demolition or renovation starts (§ 860-105), files a written notice with the Division of Environmental Quality at least 10 working days before any demolition, “even if no asbestos is present” (§ 860-201(a)), and gives the same notice for a renovation that disturbs at least 260 linear feet on pipes, 160 square feet on other components or 35 cubic feet (§ 860-203). Asbestos never goes in our containers — tell us if an inspection finds any.
