Artical from NWAHOMEPAGE :
ROGERS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Curbside storm debris pickup for residential property begins in Rogers.
According to a press release, crews will work from around 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The city says this will be a long process, and that there is no need to schedule an appointment.
The city says it contracted Looks Great Solutions for the job. Crews will be making multiple trips throughout the city to pick up storm debris. They are not allowed to enter private property but will pick up all debris their equipment can reach from the side of the road. The city asks residents to place debris at the curb or right of way.
The city says to sort debris between vegetative material like trees and limbs and other storm debris like construction material. Root balls will also eventually be picked up curbside. Crews will first focus on vegetative material.
The city asks residents not to stack debris on top of utility meters, against guy wires, fire hydrants or other items that might be hidden by debris. Garbage or recycling bins should be separate from the storm debris if possible.

Rogers also offers two waste drop-off sites on 2300 N. Arkansas Street and 3101 W. Oak Street. The sites are open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m.
