Dumpster Rental in Siloam Springs, AR

Permits, placement and who may haul in Siloam Springs

Who may haul — we check first: “All garbage, solid waste, recycling and other refuse of all kinds for disposal shall be collected by city employees. No one except city employees shall collect solid wastes or recycling within the city limits without the express written consent of the city administrator” (§ 82-37(a)). Commercial establishments and multiple dwellings use City-issued carts, dumpsters or roll-offs (§ 82-36(b)), and the roll-off rate schedule says “A franchise fee of ten percent of the total bill before tax will be added for outside roll off style haulers” (§ 82-41(c)(4)) — so the code contemplates outside roll-off haulers, but the City Administrator's written consent still comes first. We check the City's rules before booking a container in Siloam Springs. We're licensed and insured.

Disposal: refuse may be dumped only at the City Transfer Station unless the City gives special permission (§ 82-39(a)), licensed haulers dispose of refuse only at an approved landfill (§ 82-39(c)), and the transfer station at 1108 E Ashley St “will be the only authorized solid waste disposal facility within the city” (§ 82-40). The Solid Waste Department is on 479-524-8512.

Covered loads: refuse, “including discarded building material or discarded furniture”, is secured so it can't fall, leak or blow, and “Loose material will be fully covered by a tarpaulin of sufficient size to enclose the truck bed, and the truck shall include sideboards and a tailgate” (§ 82-38).

In the street: no one may obstruct streets or alleys with boxes, barrels or material of any kind, except building material placed there temporarily for a building under construction, and then only under the direction of the street and alley committee (§ 86-1(a)); the administrator may grant written temporary variances for construction projects (§ 86-3(c)(2)). 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.

Truck streets: trucks — over four tons, or with two or more rear axles — are barred from Kenwood, Mount Olive, S Prospect, Lake Francis, Highland, Country Club Rd and Dogwood, except vehicles making occasional deliveries (§§ 94-261, 94-262).

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.
