Dumpster Rental in Rogers, AR

Permits, placement and who may haul in Rogers

Who may haul — we check first: Rogers' Ordinance 05-130 says “That all business, commercial establishments and industries situated within the City of Rogers shall be prohibited from contracting for solid waste disposal with any individual or company which is not licensed by the City of Rogers and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Ordinance” (§ 2). Its hauling contract has each private collector meet City qualifications and sign a contract with the City before taking customers, hold a Rogers business licence, sign a new contract every year and pay the City a franchise fee on commercial revenue; it counts construction debris as solid waste, and when construction contractors approach a private collector for temporary disposal, the collector “shall negotiate separate agreements with said contractors”. Ord. 26-51 (12 May 2026) moved the franchise agreements out of the code book but says they “are not repealed”. Out-of-town contractors working in the city need a Rogers licence too (§ 48-59). We check the City's rules before booking a container in Rogers. We're licensed and insured.

Homes: the residential franchise (Ord. 16-01) says “All residential customers of the City of Rogers are prohibited from contracting or hiring any other individual or firm for the collection and disposal of residential solid waste.” The agreement defines construction and demolition waste separately and doesn't say whether a homeowner's remodel container is residential solid waste — one more reason we check first.

In the street or a parking space: the City's ROW Use Permit (Temporary Closure) covers “placing dumpsters, equipment, work trailers, etc. in public parking spaces or ROW for work on adjacent property”, and “Completion and approval of this permit is required prior to closing any public facility or placing any equipment within public spaces.” It needs a site plan, an approved traffic control plan for any work in the street, and a separate ArDOT permit on state right-of-way, and it's good for 6 months. Street closures for construction go to the city engineer by 5 p.m. five business days ahead (§ 52-6(a)). 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.

Hours and covered loads: the commercial hauling contract allows pickups “between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.” and says “All vehicles shall be covered and constructed so as to prevent the contents from sifting, leaking, or falling from the vehicles.”

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.
