Call the Recycling Hotline, 450-6162, to discuss this issue. We accept shredded paper for recycling ... we just ask that it not contain adhesives (e.g., post-it notes, stamps, labels, etc.)...please leave the shredded paper in bags before putting them in the blue recycling carts to avoid blowing litter. If you have any questions, please contact us here or at 450-6162. Shredding Services: We do not shred paper; however, Joey Rivers at Profiles (Independent Living Services), 328-5019, and Marieda Priest at the Conway Human Development Center, 329-6851, have programs going. Their clients shred paper and the proceeds support their program. This is not necessarily a recommendation. ILS is bonded but CHDC is NOT; however, their agencies both work under the HIPPA guidelines. You will be responsible for determining what is required for your own business. We are unaware of any other company within Conway that has a shredding service. If you have any materials that requires special handling, please call 450-6155 to make arrangements. Contaminated Dirt, Asbestos, ect.: Please call 450-6155 to make sure we can accept it, and to make arrangements for a specific date and time to bring it out. Two forms will be required to dispose of it safely. We will need a Generator Certificate -description of the waste; and one that formally accepts the waste (to be completed by our department)
For the letter from the department that will help you understand what is required on a local basis, plus the list of companies and contact information for the governing agencies, Dept. of Health and the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) Click HERE. The companies listed are the most commonly used in Conway but there are others on the internet. THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION, AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK OUT THE COMPANIES YOU DEAL WITH BECAUSE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MATERIAL ... EVEN AFTER IT IS COLLECTED AND HAULED AWAY FROM YOUR SITE.
Hazardous Waste: We are a solid waste facility and not permitted to accept any liquids in our landfill (be it chemicals, paints, bodily fluids, etc.. Businesses with these types of products should first follow the proper disposal guidelines on the containers and follow procedures set up by their governing bodies. Although you are responsible for monitoring and keeping these materials out of the regular waste stream, our state governing and inspection agency (ADEQ) requires us to do random waste screenings of businesses due to the ban of certain materials, including bio-hazardous waste and liquids of any kind, from entering the landfill. Please contact our Landfill Manager, Jason, at 733-5606, if you have any questions regarding this procedure. For spills and emergencies, call 911 For more information: Ark.
