** Notice **

Curbside rules are set by the City of Jonesboro. Confirm current details directly with the city before assuming what's picked up curbside — bulky items like furniture, appliances, electronics, and construction debris generally need a separate trip either way, whether that's a run to Legacy Landfill or a crew that hauls them for you. Local disposal rules are below.

The hauling list

What a crew can take off your hands


Furniture & mattresses

Couches, recliners, bed sets, the entertainment center nobody wants. From the curb, the garage, or the third floor.

Appliances

Fridges, freezers, washers, water heaters. Compressor removal is required before landfill drop-off — details on the gate board below.

Hot tubs & sheds

Cut down, hauled off, footprint swept clean — usually in an afternoon.

Estate & whole-home cleanouts

Respectful and thorough. Ask the crew to set aside anything still usable for donation instead of the landfill.

Storm & yard debris

Limbs, fencing, and ruined furniture — the loads that pile up faster than one household can clear alone.

Garage, barn & rental cleanouts

Landlords near A-State: move-out leftovers cleared between tenants, before the next lease starts.

The drill

How it works — three steps, one morning

Call & describe it

One call connects you with a local hauling crew. Say what you've got and where it sits — photos help, not required.

Firm price up front

Volume-based pricing is the local standard: a firm number before work starts. Never take a price that only shows up after the truck is loaded.

Point at it — it's gone

The crew lifts, loads, and sweeps. Want it donated instead of dumped? Say the word "donate" on the call.

Valley View isn't a separate town — it sits inside Jonesboro's own city limits. Paragould is close by but sits in Greene County, not Craighead — worth a call to check rather than assuming. Downtown, West Washington historic district, Birdland, Sage Meadows, Ridgepointe, Mallard Pointe, and every street around A-State are all inside Jonesboro proper.

Why the curb doesn't work here. Curbside rules, limits and exclusions in Jonesboro are set by the City of Jonesboro — confirm current details directly with the city rather than assuming what's covered. What isn't in question: a cart-lifting collection truck was never built to carry a couch, a water heater, or a truckload of storm debris, and anything that size left at the curb is a problem a phone call solves faster than guessing at a schedule.

Say "donate" and mean it. Furniture and appliances that still work don't have to end up on the landfill scale. Ask the crew, before anything gets loaded, to set aside what's still usable — it's a five-second conversation that keeps good stuff out of the landfill and can trim what gets weighed and charged for at the gate.

Electronics don't have a dedicated home. Arkansas's own DEQ e-waste locator shows no dedicated collection center for Craighead County — there's no free local drop-off to point a dead TV or old computer toward. Ask a crew how they plan to handle electronics before assuming it's a simple stop.

Appliances need the compressor off first. Legacy Landfill won't accept a refrigerator, freezer, or window air conditioner with its compressor still attached — it has to come off before the appliance is accepted at the gate. Never let anyone haul one off assuming that detail doesn't matter; ask about it directly when you call.

A-State is pushing more renters off campus. Record enrollment at Arkansas State, combined with a policy prioritizing on-campus housing for freshmen and sophomores, is pushing more upperclassmen into off-campus rentals, according to recent local reporting. Landlords and property managers clearing out a rental between leases are a regular reason for this call.

Storm country. The EF3 that tore through Jonesboro on March 28, 2020 cut a 12.55-mile path through Craighead County with peak winds near 150 mph, damaging roughly 300 buildings and injuring 22 people, according to storm records. When the next one drops limbs, fencing, and ruined furniture across a yard faster than one household can handle alone, a crew can clear it in a single pass.

Straight answers

Questions Jonesboro actually asks

Does the city pick up furniture or appliances at the curb?

Curbside rules, limits and exclusions are set by the City of Jonesboro — confirm current details directly with the city if you're not sure what's covered. Either way, bulky items like furniture and appliances generally need a separate trip: a run to Legacy Landfill yourself, or a removal crew that hauls them for you.

What does junk removal cost in Jonesboro?

Pricing runs by volume — how much truck space your load fills — plus anything that needs special handling, like appliances or demolition debris. One item costs the least; a full garage costs more. The local standard is a firm, all-in price before work begins (labor, hauling, landfill fees, cleanup). If a crew won't give one, call a different crew. Free quotes: (870) 362-5606.

Can a crew take a refrigerator or freezer?

Yes. Legacy Landfill requires the compressor removed before an appliance is accepted at the gate — ask a crew whether that's handled as part of the job, so nothing gets turned away at the scale.

Where should my stuff actually go?

Donation first, if it still works — ask the crew to set aside anything usable instead of sending it straight to the landfill scale. Craighead County has no dedicated electronics drop-off (Arkansas's DEQ locator shows none for the county), so ask specifically how a crew handles old TVs or computers. Everything else generally ends up at Legacy Landfill, weighed and charged by the ton.

What won't haulers take?

Hazardous liquids and chemicals: wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, and pressurized tanks generally fall outside a standard haul-away load. Ask about anything like that specifically when you call.

How fast can someone come?

Local crews often run same-day or next-day when you call in the morning — this is home turf, not a twice-a-week "service area." Around A-State turnover times, book a few days ahead.
