Carroll County residents are invited to participate in the annual “Load Up Your Pickup Day,” from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Carroll County Fairgrounds in Berryville.

This is a free bulky waste collection event for Carroll County residents only and is sponsored by the Carroll County Quorum Court and the Carroll County Solid Waste District. It is part of Keep Arkansas Beautiful’s Great Arkansas Cleanup. It is limited to three bulky items.

Accepted items include old appliances, old furniture, mattresses and springs, electronics, sinks, toilets and bathtubs. Freon will be removed from appliances free of charge.

Yard waste (limbs, leaves, grass clippings, etc.), hazardous waste, household garbage, commercial waste and agricultural waste will not be accepted. No tires will be accepted. Out-of-county waste will not be accepted.

Residents are encouraged to spread out on the county roads and gather roadside litter to bring to the collection event.

Neighbors are encouraged to help neighbors remove unwanted items from their yards.
