Jonesboro Mayor James “Spike” Harris announces that the newly formed Jonesboro Sanitation Department will begin providing in-house trash collection services for residents on August 4th.

This was made possible by the Jonesboro Board of Aldermen passing a resolution that broke ties with Waste Connections, which was formerly contracted to pick up waste locally, and approving the lease of a new garbage truck that allows the town to collect its waste, meaning faster and more cost-efficient service without any extra financial burden being placed on residents. 

“We are very happy to move forward with this action as it represents a symbol of progress and self-reliance for our town while also saving a considerable amount of money each month and creating additional jobs for our local residents,” said Harris. 

To make sure your garbage will be picked up, residents are asked to have their new waste bins out on the curb early in the morning on the day their street is scheduled for pickup. See below for the day your street is scheduled for pickup.
